Future-proofing your business in a volatile and uncertain year is a massive challenge. However, with some planning and smart tools, you can put things into place to help you future-proof your business. Read more in our blog here.
Some of the challenges you will be facing in 2022 are the following:
- A distributed workforce - employees scattered all over, making it hard for companies to keep track of workers and productivity, as well as making it hard for employees to collaborate and be productive.
- Too many tools - we all have multiple tools and apps we are required to learn and use, which can be overwhelming.
- Remote collaboration - engaging with employees and onboarding new employees when remote work is in effect is very challenging.
- Security across devices - with multiple devices and networks being used, data security is at risk.

2022: What to expect
The workplace has changed forever. In recent times, it has been reported that the perks employees are asking for also includes remote work and hybrid work. Another trend is contract work and project-based work. The evolution of new technologies has helped the transition to remote work, and have presented opportunities for companies and employees to work together globally with ease. We may see new roles and new methods of work develop soon, while we are all navigating the future of work. (HBR)
Top tips for 2022
- Evaluate what you want your digital tools to do. Make sure they are secure, they fulfil all your needs and they eliminate frustration for all parties, rather than add to it.
- Where possible, simplify processes and automate what can be automated. Tools like PIQNIC can be customised to suit your specific needs for repetitive tasks and workflows.
- Take stock of your digital tools. Make sure they serve your purposes and check out alternatives. It is possible that something new has been developed since you started working online.
- Find tools that have more than one function, such as project management combined with communication and file management. This will replace multiple tools and smooth the transition.
- Be proactive and don't be daunted by the big task at hand. Some platforms have migration options (ask us about PIQNIC's data migration options) to help you shift your assets effortlessly.
