At least once every week, IT departments experience this exchange: "Have you heard about the new AI tool that promises to revolutionise their work?"

As is often the case, the market is filled with noise and empty promises about Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to recent McKinsey research, 78% of businesses currently utilize AI technologies - and that figure continues to increase rapidly.

AI is nothing new, yet within the pas...

An IT refreshment plan is vitally important. It ensures your team operates smoothly, prevents unscheduled breakdowns and keeps you secure.

Refresh strategies can save time, money, and stress over time whether or not they are outsourced to managed IT services providers.

Studies have revealed that email is still the dominant method for our communications, accounting for an incredible 80% of it all.

Even though there are apps, chat services and digital tools at our disposal, many of us still rely on old methods of sorting emails - much like using carrier-pigeons in the early days of telephone use.

Study findings indicated that employees waste valuable time navigating between applications. Imagine having to send an important report, only for them to become lost between Slack, Teams, Google Docs and multiple tools - creating an endless game of "digital hide and se...

Gen Z and some Millennial employees may not possess the technological proficiency that employers would like to see; this causes employers to experience feelings of 'tech-shame'.

Young workers raised on Snapchat, TikTok and Minecraft may lack the necessary skillsets for transitioning successfully into an office setting.

Recent research has revealed that one out of every five employees between 18-29 years old feel judged when facing technical problems at work, as opposed to only 1 in 25 employees over 40.

As is often the case in workplace environments with remote workers or mixed roles, better training should be offered to all employees - not only newcomers. Gen Zers may have come of age during t...

Many employers mistakenly believe their employees cannot perform at their best without physically being present at work, yet managers can struggle with adapting to this new hybrid world. Unfortunately, this perception is far from being reality.

Research indicates that remote and hybrid work arrangements can often result in significant productivity gains; yet many organizations continue to impose office-only working policies.

Employers may feel unprepared to deal with the aftermath of recent years, and hope productivity will rebound after pandemic outbreak.

This could be seen as an antidote, since hybrid workers have demonstrated greater morale and creativity compared to pre-pandemic levels.
