Employees becoming more important

Coms outfit TelcoSwitch says that ‘Hybrid-first’ is becoming the norm for technology deployment.

Aaron Foster, Chief Technology Officer at TelcoSwitch, said that new tech rollouts are not based on job type or seniority, but take a more holistic approach to employees and the broader business.

With many workers now combining a return to the office with continued home working, this hybrid first approach is also being reflected in how firms roll out new technologies for their employees.

Foster said that the makeshift nature of home working when it was first implemented last year has given way to a more permanent evolution in working culture. Instead of focusing purely on job role or seniority, organisations are now approaching the management of employees – and the technology that enables them to do their jobs – in a much more fluid manner.

Foster said: “As a level of confidence in businesses and the economy returns, we see IT teams start to embrace the hybrid working reality in terms of technical rollouts. When working on such projects, it’s now more about whether any employee could be anywhere on any given day, rather than introducing new tech based on the position they hold within the company, or whether they’re permanently based in the office.”
