2022 GUIDE

Learn How to Make
Hybrid Work Work

The people who went home to work in March 2020 aren’t the same as those coming back to the office in 2022.
The challenge ahead for every leader and organization is to set the standard for flexible work in a way that balances business needs with new employee expectations in a post-pandemic job market.

As we embrace the new normal and leaders tackle making hybrid work work, big questions loom:
  • What is the role of the office?
  • How do we ensure remote meeting participants feel included?
  • How do leaders empower employees to fight burn out?
  • How do companies build social capital in a digital-first world?

Hybrid work requires a deliberate, thoughtful approach. Leaders need a strategy that activates the whole organization and puts forth a plan to embrace new cultural norms with technologies designed for the hybrid world – ones that bridge the digital and physical, ensuring every employee can engage and contribute, regardless of where, when or how they’re working.


5 Urgent Trends
Business Leaders Need
to Know in 2022
1 - Employees have a new “worth it” equation.

3 - Leaders need to make the office worth the commute. 
4 - Flexible work doesn’t have to mean “always on.” 
5 - Rebuilding social capital looks different in a hybrid world.

CYBER SECURITY

Charity & Disaster Scams

The August SANS OUCH! CyberSecurity Newsletter provides guidance and insight on thwarting Cyber Crime.
Cyber criminals know that one of the best ways to rush people into making a mistake is by creating a heightened sense of urgency. And one of the easiest ways to create a sense of urgency is to take advantage of a crisis.

This is why cyber criminals love it whenever there is a traumatic event with global impact. What most of us regard as a tragedy, cyber criminals view as an opportunity, such as the breakout of a war, a major natural disaster such as a volcanic explosion, and of course infectious disease breakouts like COVID- 19.

When there is an immense amount of social media and news coverage about a certain event, cyber criminals know that is the time to strike.
