The New Future of Work is Employee Centric
Welcome to Anunta’s new weekly newsletter, Digital Workplace Insider. Every week, we’ll feature exclusive content on digital workplace technologies and explore how organizations across industries can execute effective digital workplace transformation strategies.
This week, we’ll discuss what the future of work looks like for organizations worldwide in the coming two years, what drives these new age digital workplaces and how to ensure their employees have the best experiences.
The first couple of years post-pandemic focused on workplace digitization to ensure a secure and collaborative means of working. In the past couple of years, remote/hybrid working was driven primarily by employee productivity. But it’s 2023 now and this focus seems to have shifted. For the first time in a long time, employee requirements have become the driving force behind deciding the future of work.

What’s New in Today’s Digital Workplace?
Enhancing employee experience through a human-centric digital workplace is the talk of the town since the beginning of the new year. In the coming two years, businesses will focus more on automation and adoption of digital tools to create a digital workplace in an effort to foster a human-centric culture.
Flexible and remote workplaces are only set to grow in the future as they improve talent onboarding and employee retention. Research reveals that doing away with remote and hybrid work models will result in a drastic loss in employee productivity.
So, set against this context, organizations are now faced with the most obvious choice – adopt digital workplace technologies with the goal to improve employee experience.
How DaaS Enhances Digital Employee Experience
According to Gartner, there will be a 14% increase in the adoption of digital workplace technologies from the period 2021-2023 to 2022-2024. This increase will be driven primarily by the need to ensure a great digital employee experience.

They also say that Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) is already a favorite among CIOs and IT decision-makers as it is a high value, low risk technology.
DaaS addresses employee experience challenges in many ways, from providing remote access to business applications to ensuring minimum downtime.
A few ways that DaaS empowers employees:
·????????Onsite and offsite employees are constantly connected to the virtual infrastructure because DaaS enables working from anywhere.
·????????By providing a virtual workplace on even their personal devices, DaaS ensures that any personal applications installed on the device are well and truly separated from critical business applications.
·????????The IT team can monitor all virtual machines from anywhere and perform software updates and maintenance remotely, which means that employees don’t lose time waiting for IT support.
·????????If any device the employee is working on malfunctions or become inaccessible, all they have to do is switch to another device. Their data and applications are device agnostic, and thus, accessible from anywhere.
·????????Employees do not have to worry about corporate data theft or loss even if their device gets stolen. DaaS comes with concrete security, and nothing is saved locally.
?As we make the shift to a human-centric digital workplace that is driven largely by employee expectations, organizations must realign their IT strategies with a fresh perspective. With digital workplace technologies like DaaS, which provides the ideal infrastructure for seamless operations, organizations can ensure that these experiences are both meaningful and repeatable.?
