Recently moved from working at an office to working from home?
The good news is you’re not alone. Well, I mean you are, but, we’re here with you. Let’s take a look at just how not-alone-while-alone we all are.
According to our friends at Global Workplace Analytics:
- 56% of employees have a job where at least some of what they do could be done remotely
- Pre-Covid-19, only 3.6% of the workforce worked at home part-time or more
- 80% of employees say they would like to work from home at least some of the time, under normal circumstances
The billion-dollar question is: How many people will become full-time remote workers when the dust settles after the Covid-19 crisis ends?
In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, Matt Stephenson Zooms in for a chat with serial entrepreneur Zach Beimes and BlackBerry VP of Sales Engineering Alex Willis about what all is involved in sending your entire workforce home. Do they have the tools they need? Can they securely access the company network? Do their kids play Fortnite on their work machines?
