New Ways Of Working - APAG Reports

We are now entering the third year of working since the Covid-19 pandemic rapidly disrupted how we work, where we work, and the technology we use to get work done.

The 4th Industrial Revolution gained rapid momentum and continues apace and while Covid appears largely under control, it continues to impact our working lives.

With this, we enter the second year of running this insights study and we welcome all participation. There are no barriers to participating and the survey takes ten minutes to complete. Similar to last year, the report will be openly available for download once the study is complete. We are excited to see if there have been any shifts and have also added a few new items this year, such as “The Great Resignation”.

New Ways of Working continue to evolve and optimize. Let us understand exactly what this means!
