The modern workplace aims to encourage productivity, collaboration, and communication through the use of innovative digital technology. Microsoft 365 is a powerful digital tool with multiple products in one place that enable efforts towards enhanced digital security and workplace productivity, through several highly efficient online applications.
The Future of Jobs Report published by the World Economic Forum in October 2020, highlighted the pandemic-related disruptions to the workforce, as well as the expected outlook for technology adoption in terms of jobs and skills over the next five years.
