Right now the hot topic most people are considering is ‘where’ staff are going to work, after more than a year of remote working it is no wonder it is at the fore. However, with the recent news that in the US, UK, and Ireland investment is being made to trial the benefits of the four day working week, is the ‘when’ people work getting the required attention in organisational planning and should it?
Reported frauds relating to online sales are 42% higher during the pandemic, compared to the preceding year (i.e. 2019), with the increased demand for online shopping providing fraudsters with greater opportunities to illegally obtain online shoppers’ personal and financial details.
Every business needs to keep moving forward. That includes being responsive to customer needs and adapting to a digital world. As new technology emerges, customer expectation has grown to include digital access to goods and services, on a round-the-clock basis.
Many of us have been working remotely for almost 18 months by this stage, with lots of highs and lows from that experience. There is a sense around the world that we all need to transition back to the office, with some form of hybrid/blended working set to remain.
For some businesses, the objective has been merely to survive. For others, due to the nature of their business, or perhaps due to an inspired new business idea, trading during the pandemic has been a roaring success. For others, the effects of the pandemic were strangely inconsequential.
The home/office working landscape has shifted significantly and businesses are asking questions about how to manage the key risks and capitalise on the opportunities that this presents
Having an abundance of cash on hand may not seem like too much of a problem for most of us, however there are potential downsides for businesses who are reporting excess cash on their balance sheets.
There has been a lot written about the 10x economy in the last few weeks, with the usual mix of cheerleaders and naysayers that any attempt to present a new plan brings. I have written many economic strategies over the past 15 or so years so I know they are not easy to do. There is a constant challenge to try and deliver something unique when, deep down, we all know the economic weak spots are so obvious and ingrained that a rollover would do just as well.
Even before the arrival of Covid-19, forward-thinking charitable organisations had already begun to consider how to diversify their income streams. They were looking to step away from traditional fundraising methods, as the early warning signs indicated a waning public appetite for direct debits and voluntary donations
One of the big topics for business leaders at the moment is how to embrace remote working post the pandemic, whilst at the same time maintaining their competitiveness and productivity. I was therefore delighted to see a publication from the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council (NCPC) in the Republic of Ireland on this very topic, within the past couple of weeks. Many of the points raised are equally applicable to Northern Ireland as well.
It is undeniable that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on how we do business. In light of these changes, we must ask ‘are business trips a thing of the past?’. For the past year, travel, for business and pleasure alike, has been grounded in a bid to reduce the spread of Coronavirus.
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the economic lockdowns that followed brought obvious difficulties – not just for our people, but for employees and organisations throughout the world.
I prefer to shop locally, and with three children who seem to get taller every night, the reopening of shops last week was a big relief (to them at least). We sat out the immediate rush on the Friday thinking the bank holiday Monday would be a bit quieter.
We are no longer working from home, rather living at work. Or, as a colleague recently said, “The weekend now feels like a two-day lunch break”. The novelty of remote working is on the ebb, and the numbers of ‘Zoombies’ on the rise as the ‘dark side’ of home working has been revealed. Employees are suffering from digital fatigue and blurred work-life boundaries.
Levels of M&A activity are 18% higher than the same month last year, according to the latest statistics (February 2021). At first glance this appears remarkable, given the potential uncertainties around Covid-19 and legacy Brexit issues. This month-on-month increase has been a trend since the middle of last year, with confidence clearly returning to the market…but “why”?
