IDC Advice <\/b><\/p>\n

Considering the survey findings, IDC advised that equipping employees with the latest devices that can support both a remote and hybrid work environment will have a significant impact not only on employee productivity and experience, but also will provide a competitive edge to organizations to attract and retain talent. IDC also suggested that Singapore SMBs implement the following three points with regard to technology implementation:<\/p>\n

\n
1. Include laptops in as-a-service agreements \u2013 Give employees their choice in devices and move away from inflexible standardization policies. An as-a-service model can also provide easy access to features previously found only in enterprise-grade, custom-developed devices.<\/li>\n
2. Ensure employees have the right tools to do their job – Doing away with a one-size fits-all strategy and adopting a more personalized approach to computing by offering employees the laptop of their choice, or based on computing needs, will help improve productivity and efficiency.<\/li>\n
3. Refresh laptops faster for better employee experience – Shorten refresh cycles of laptops to keep in step with workforce requirements, as well as boost employee productivity and efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   Personal Thoughts and Views<\/b><\/p>\n

   As we enter into a hybrid working environment, working between both office and home, a laptop setup makes more sense, portable and ease of use when you have to shuffle between work locations. The changes and transformations to a laptop setup might have already started for your organisation and for yourself. If haven\u2019t started, the digital transformation for the next normal would probably be taking place very soon.<\/p>\n
