The boundary between tasks performed by humans and machines is evolving more rapidly than ever before, thanks in part to the recent pandemic. As a result, a new work culture is surfacing – one that combines new business models with remote teams and complex security challenges.

The modern workplace aims to encourage productivity, collaboration, and communication through the use of innovative digital technology. Microsoft 365 is a powerful digital tool with multiple products in one place that enable efforts towards enhanced digital security and workplace productivity, through several highly efficient online applications.

The Future of Jobs Report published by the World Economic Forum in October 2020, highlighted the pandemic-related disruptions to the workforce, as well as the expected outlook for technology adoption in terms of jobs and skills over the next five years. One of the significant elements that this report highlighted, was that, despite the global economic recession, most employers recognised the importance of their human capital investment.

As technology’s pace continues to accelerate unabated, and cloud technology and e-commerce remain priorities for companies, skills gaps will increase and companies will need to adapt and invest in better ways of upskilling and reskilling their employees who have become more flexible and geographically distributed, especially during the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.

The technology that Microsoft 365 provides, combined with the cloud’s power, is positioned to address these exact needs.
