With the quick development of technology, the quantification and monitoring of information has become an essential practice, which supports the in-depth understanding of various social or economic phenomena. This reality has made datafication – the process by which various aspects of life or business are transformed into measurable data that is easy to track and analyze – to have a global market value of 310.19 billion USD in 2022. Its expansion is remarkable, forecasting to reach approximately $1,013.57 billion by 2032, according to Precedence Research.
But how should this rise in datafication be perceived when it comes to impact? What kind of changes will it produce and what opportunities will it create in 2024?
VON Tech, an IT partner for companies from the US and Central Eastern Europe, with more than 10 years of experience, cuts to the chase and gives you all the answers you were looking for in this article.
The data revolution, more noticeable than ever
Interconnectivity is one of the factors generating impressive amounts of data, with significant effects felt both when it comes to personal life and the business environment. It provides increased control over smart electronic devices, recording user preferences or habits. But the evolution of these IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystems has seen completely different perspectives with the integration of artificial intelligence. How so?
Because the data provided is now more easily examined, the current systems benefiting from more autonomy in interpretation and having the ability to make better decisions based on the information received. As a result, AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) has seen an increased popularity, easily making its way into the lives of tech enthusiasts and beyond.
Key opportunities this year
Although datafication was not born overnight, its recent scale has revealed some key opportunities. Specifically, as it plays an essential role in many industries and the amount of data is constantly increasing, its processing systems (whether we mean Edge Computing, Cloud Computing or others like that) will be stimulated to improve their response speed and turn to intelligent algorithms, to manipulate and analyze data in a shorter time.
Of course, the security and data protection segment will also constantly develop. According to a Morning Consult survey, a significant proportion of 80% express concern about privacy security, and 69% note an increasing unease regarding this matter. As such, options like data encryption, access monitoring or proactive threat analysis will receive more and more attention.
But all this reflects a high demand on the market for some IT jobs. Among them are data engineer – the one responsible for building data collection and conversion system, data analyst – the one who interprets data sets in order to solve a problem, data security specialist – the one who implements encryption measures and manages cyber threats, or machine learning engineer – the one who designs and optimizes machine learning algorithms, in order to develop predictive solutions.
Datafication is redefining businesses
The impact of datafication on today’s businesses cannot be neglected. From the objective evaluation of performances, to facilitated decision-making processes and even the reduction of spent budgets, all are on the long list of advantages.
If you need specialists to help you with data collection and processing, you can find them with the help of experienced IT recruitment companies. VON Tech provides hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development, implementation and application testing services, in the US, Germany, SEE (3 locations in Romania) and UAE.

The year 2023 was certainly a revolutionary one for the tech segment! Some might argue that the revolution in itself was the McKinsey report, stating that between now and 2030, generative AI could enable the automation of up to 70% business activities – IT-related ones included – obviously with an added value of trillions of dollars to the global economy.
So is 2024 the beginning of quicksands-in-the-work-place for programmers and developers? It’s true, the current hiring landscape is dominated by uncertainty and recruitment processes are lengthier and tougher, in the wake of yet again beginning of the year lay-offs… but is it all that doom and gloom?
VON Tech, an IT partner for companies from the US and Central Eastern Europe, with more than 10 years of experience, ventures a reasoning about how the IT market will evolve this year and what the selection processes in line, relevant to both employers and employees, might look like.
Demand vs. supply, an intriguing report
Job losses were very numerous in 2023, when 1,186 technology companies laid off approximately 262,682 employees. By comparison, that’s 97,713 more than in 2022, according to data compiled by Layoffs.fyi.
And yet, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that employment of software developers will grow by 26% in the US by 2032, in order to meet the extremely intense global demand. The information is even more surprising considering that the average growth rate for all occupations is only 3%.
When it comes to employees from the tech field, there is obvious reluctance and opportunities are taken with a pinch of salt, especially since 2024 is another year that starts off with lay-offs.
According to a survey applied to 9,338 software engineers by Blind in December 2023, almost 9 out of 10 respondents believe that it is harder to find a job now than before the pandemic. Of these, 66% say it is “much harder”. More than that, only 6% of those surveyed were “extremely confident” they could find another job with the same total compensation if they became unemployed today, while 32 percent were “not at all confident”.
How is the tech hiring landscape shaping up?
According to the State of IT 2024 report, 66% of companies are preparing to increase their IT budgets for 2024, compared to only 4% who plan to decrease the amounts allocated.
What does this mean? That employment opportunities will increase this year. Put differently, experienced developers will be able to advance to more complicated tasks, focused on the trends of the moment, highlighting a need for juniors in the field, who will be able to process repetitive tasks with a low level of difficulty.
The list of the most sought-after jobs will potentially include: systems security manager (requires deep knowledge of security technologies, but also of IT infrastructure, to prevent any threat and repair any damage), applications architect (focused on the ability to design scalable application architectures, resilient and secure) and of course cloud architect, as Internet of Things – IoT is booming (technical cloud expertise, automation and scripting skills are important).
The big picture isn’t that gray, but we can’t ignore the fact that 90% of tech hiring managers report challenges finding qualified talent (according to a Robert Half survey at the end of 2023), with the situation getting worse as the time to hire has reached an all-time high, now averaging 44 days (according to Josh Bersin Academy global research).
Advice for candidates
Job interviews this year will be for certain quite broad, which means that they won’t only assess the theoretical information held by the candidates. One thing that every job applicant should know is that… digital skills are not enough.
In order to be more successful in the hiring process, it is necessary to develop your “soft skills” very well, such as communication and availability for teamwork. Be open to feedback and don’t internalize it as criticism. Moreover, don’t consider the waiting period as “dead time”. Stay connected to changes in the field and take new courses.
All the while, good organization will be crucial. It is desirable to make a schedule with each upcoming activity, in order to thoroughly prepare and not be taken by surprise. And don’t be afraid to ask the recruiter questions all throughout the selection process!
Recommendations for companies
Finding the right employees for job vacancies, that perfectly blend technical knowledge with social interaction, is more complicated than it seems, especially in such a dynamic hiring environment. The good part is that there are specialized companies that take the effort off your shoulders and materialize it in an exemplary way.
For example, VON Tech, which aids in the recruitment of technical specialists who can work either from the organization’s office or from their personal one. VON Tech delivers hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development services, application implementation and testing in telecommunications.

The demand for cloud computing services has increased significantly recently. As a result, from USD 495.3 billion in 2022, the global value of this market is estimated to reach USD 2,495.2 billion dollars in 2032. And yet, this development doesn’t indicate a difficulties-free environment. Specifically, according to a study published by Foundry in September 2023, the top 3 obstacles stated by ITDMs (Information Technology Decision Makers) are cloud cost control, data privacy, security and lack of cloud security skills/expertise.
But as challenges often underlie opportunities, the year 2024 promises to be a very interesting one. The team with VON Tech, a company that has more than 10 years experience in helping IT businesses grow, have analyzed the predictions, and now presents you the cloud computing trends that you can’t miss in the coming year.
Focus on cloud security and resilience
Virtual security dangers and cyber attacks are matters of major importance, especially as hacking methods are developing at a fairly high speed. As such, encryption, authentication and data recovery will be heavily emphasized in cloud computing in 2024.
In fact, according to French cloud & big data company Eviden, in 2024, the expected growth in the cloud security space is by ~40%, with increased demand for zero-trust and AI-based cybersecurity services.
Increased popularity for cloud orchestration
Orchestration is the automated process by which multiple interconnected cloud services (such as deployment, management, and scaling) are coordinated to ultimately achieve a unified and functional environment.
Considering the efficiency and popularity of this practice, it is expected that multicloud orchestration (coordinating services and applications from several cloud providers simultaneously) or AI-based orchestration (with self-healing systems) will be widely used in the coming months.
Concerns for sustainable cloud computing
It is no secret that the cloud operates with vast data, involving numerous data transmission networks. The effect? According to the International Energy Association, the emission of about 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2020, which is nearly 1% of energy-related global greenhouse gas emissions annually.
In 2024, sustainability appears to be a key course of action. Major cloud service providers have all made net-zero commitments, trying to reduce the carbon footprint of both their own operations and those of their customers.
Outsourced AI services for cloud providers
Personalized solutions, such as automatic recommendations generated due to user profiling, or virtual assistants, which support the activity of operators, have become more and more present. But these models work with huge amounts of data and use impressive amounts of computing power, being expensive.
With AI as a service, companies are allowed to use these technologies without having to incur costs for training or hosting them in-house, and without risking their core infrastructure. Basically, cloud providers offer the chance to outsource AI, making it more accessible and cost-effective.
Predictions for tech services in 2024
We couldn’t leave out an overview of tech services in the coming year. According to a Statista survey, published in October 2023, 84% of IT companies are worried about a recession in 2024. Moreover, technology talent is also a persistent problem, with 63% of senior technology leaders surveyed saying that it is currently difficult to hire qualified IT talent.
Fortunately, there are companies that can offer a solution to this problem. VON Tech, for example, is an experienced company that provides hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development, implementation and application testing services, in the US, Germany, SEE (3 locations in Romania) and UAE. It can also give your business the most agile, cost-effective and top-quality services on the market.

Recently, discussions about generative AI have started to become more frequent, giving rise to wide-ranging debates. This technology is increasingly present in many fields and areas of interest, has its upsides and downsides altogether, but there’s one thing that either party – aficionados and detractors – can all agree on – AI has the potential to make the work and efforts of employees more efficient.
As expected, in the tech realm, some software developers could not miss stepping up on the boat that they helped build. As a consequence, there have been multiple iterations of how embracing AI could decrease response times and assist in QA. But the question still remains – do these happy encounters speak for the whole, do software developers and generative artificial intelligence really match?
VON Tech, a company with more than 10 years experience in helping IT businesses grow, helps us with some insights in the following analysis.
It’s a fact: technology can simplify the work process
First of all, it is worth mentioning that completing tasks can be facilitated with the help of artificial intelligence. Joe Welch, principal and technology leader for a division of The Planet Group, comments: ”By incorporating GitHub Copilot into VS Code for a recent project, we saw programmers reduce ten-minute tasks, such as writing a small function, down to the 30 seconds it took to simply write out a comment that explains the function”.
However, time efficiency depends a lot on the developer’s experience and the task itself. The results of a study published by McKinsey in the summer of this year demonstrated it. Specifically, time savings were below 10% for tasks considered to be of high complexity. Also, for some of the developers with less than a year of experience, tasks took 7 to 10% longer with the AI tools than without.
Developer’s expertise vs. AI’s capabilities
The same study indicated that examining code for bugs and errors was not always performed in an exemplary manner, with incorrect recommendations and even introduction of errors into the code. Moreover, AI does not have the ability to fully understand the needs of a company and the particularities that must be taken into account when working on a project. So the claim of a participant in the McKinsey study who said ”[Generative AI] is least helpful when the problem becomes more complicated and the big picture needs to be taken under consideration” is totally justified.
And yet, the segments that can benefit from the help of AI in a hassle-free manner cannot be overlooked. Repetitive tasks, part of the routine, such as auto-filling standard functions used in coding or documenting code functionality in a given standard format, can be completed successfully. So developers have more time to deal with complex problems and upgrade their skills. In addition, this tool can also be used to speed up updates to existing code by adjusting the code according to criteria provided by the developers.
The human factor and the technological one, such a great team
One thing is certain: artificial intelligence will not “take over”, but will only support developers to make their work more efficient. Therefore, the need for talented staff with good skills and anchored to the latest changes in the field will be constantly present.
VON Tech is ready to help with this. It is an experienced company that provides hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development, implementation and application testing services, in the US, Germany, SEE (3 locations in Romania) and UAE. It can also give your business the most agile, cost-effective and top-quality services on the market.

Nowadays, the use of devices connected to the Internet is simply a necessity. Whether we’re talking about phones, watches, appliances or even smart cars, they’ve all changed the rules of the game when it comes to what we call “routine”. This technological evolution has effects not only on personal life, but also on some markets and business segments.
For example, the network analyzers market size is estimated to grow to USD 672.30 million by 2028. It means growing at a CAGR of 4.50% during the forecast period (2023-2028). But how does the situation foreshadow Europe? What will be the general market trends?
Increasing demand for 4G and 5G in Europe
The 4G technology provides connectivity to most electronic devices in the world. But 5G technology, implemented since 2019, has also gained popularity. According to Ericsson, the number of 5G mobile subscriptions in Western Europe and Central & Eastern Europe is forecast to exceed 289 million and 155 million, respectively, by 2025.
But what are the reasons for this increase?
First of all, it is the amazing speed offered by 5G. Its architecture allows a large number of devices (even billions). The outcome? The well-known Internet of Things (IoT). More than that, it also reduces the lag – the extended time of data transmission from one user to another. So, it is not surprising that growing demand for sophisticated technological enhancements significantly influences the network analyzer market across Europe.
IoT smart buildings, 30 times more by 2025
Remote control and monitoring of buildings is another current trend. But this is not surprising, especially if we take into account the fact that it supports the reduction of expenses, while providing increased efficiency and productivity. Heating sensors, voice-activated systems or equipment that can be controlled via online applications are just some of the opportunities of the moment.
And according to the European Telecommunications Network Operators (ENTO), the number of IoT smart buildings’ active connections in the European Union (EU) was 5.08 million connections in 2016, and it is expected to reach 154.06 million contacts by 2025.
Why trained and skilled manpower is essential
A study published in 2023 by Coherent Market Insights pointed out that the lack of trained and skilled workforce is expected to obstruct the growth of the global network analyzer market during the forecast period. Therefore, the role of companies specialized in offering software testing services, but also in outsourcing, acquires increased importance in this niche.

From automating repetitive tasks to analyzing data for informed decision making, from gaining relevant insights about target audience to strengthening customer relationships through digital platforms, technology is vital in today’s business.
And this fact is reflected by the numbers: according to a Eurostat report, in 2022, more than 9 million persons worked as information and communications technology (ICT) specialists across the European Union. The highest number (2.1 million) worked in Germany, which provided work to more than one-fifth (22.6%) of the EU’s tech labor workforce.
Judging by the size of the market, one would think that demand meets supply everywhere, right? The truth is that most of the time all that glitters is not gold. And when we say that, we mean that in Slovenia (78.0%), Czechia (77.0%) and Germany (76.6%) more than 3 out to 4 enterprises that recruited or tried to recruit tech specialists in 2021, reported difficulties in filling those vacancies (according to the same previously cited source). But how did it get here? VON Tech specialists, a company with more than 10 years experience in helping IT businesses grow, have analyzed the situation and come up with an answer in this article.
Hiring IT specialists, a more complicated process than it seems
The process of hiring tech specialists requires a lot of patience and attention. The criteria that candidates must respect are not few, but the same is true when it comes to the recruiter. In other words, the ideal candidate may be right in front of you, but if you don’t have the knowledge to properly assess their skills, the recruitment process has already been altered. And unfortunately, that’s a problem companies often face.
Added to all this is the IT skills gap. When proximity plays an important role in the hiring process, you come down to a certain number of candidates. What does this mean? There is a chance that their abilities are not that advanced, especially if we also take into account the speed with which the technology evolves and the requirements in this segment.
With these reasons in mind, it’s understandable why in 2021, according to Eurostat, in 72.5% of EU enterprises external suppliers performed the ICT functions. In all but one EU member state the majority of enterprises outsourced their tech functions, with the highest shares in Belgium (82.8%), Denmark (81.7%) and Malta (81.1%).
Outsourcing, an alternative to consider
Outsourcing is, without a doubt, one way you can reduce the risks when it comes to hiring IT staff. You have access to specialists located anywhere in the world, to a team that helps you correctly evaluate the employee’s performance and easily complete the bureaucratic aspects, and in addition, you also optimize the company’s costs.
Moreover, you also make better use of the time resources and significantly shorten the entire recruitment process, which means that you can focus on managerial duties and adapt your business strategy to the latest market trends, instead of supervising and coordinating these HR decisions.
Given the situation, it is not surprising that the share of enterprises outsourcing their ICT functions reached 83.1% among large enterprises, and 70.9% for small enterprises in 2021 (according to Eurostat).
Make the right choice for your business
You don’t have to struggle alone to find the IT staff you need! You can turn to companies specialized in outsourcing, which will take this responsibility off your shoulders.

Without a doubt, technology evolves from day to day, not to mention the ever invoked rise of artificial intelligence. Leaving all this aside, developers nevertheless have to keep up with changes and update their skills, especially where programming languages are concerned.
Early bird catches the worm, as the saying goes, so learning which programming languages will be most sought after in 2024 will give you a head start and a big leverage.
That’s why we relied on the experts from VON Tech, a company with more than 10 years experience in helping IT businesses grow, to analyze the trends for the coming year and create a useful list for you.
Python, for scripting, automation and data analysis
This information may not be so surprising, especially considering that Python has been among the most popular programming languages for many years. It has a simple syntax, which makes it easy to understand and learn, but other features make it so desirable.
It is useful for both artificial intelligence and machine learning, as it has an ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. In addition, it also has the ability to handle large data sets. Summarizing, all these aspects make Python successful in scripting, automation or data analysis.
Java, for IoT frameworks and mobile development
Java is a highly sought-after programming language, especially because it is stable, scalable, and versatile. It is used in cloud computing, an essential function for company development, IT segment innovation, but also for mobile development.
Moreover, Java is useful for IoT (Internet of Things) development – the network of objects formed by connecting different devices, services and automated systems to each other via Internet.
JavaScript facilitates the creation of web applications
JavaScript is highly desired when it comes to web development: it is used both for building websites, but also for accessing embedded objects in other applications.
This programming language is constantly evolving to facilitate the creation of complex web applications. Thanks to frameworks like React Native and Ionic, JavaScript can also be used in mobile development.
C/C++ give control over memory and system resources
Although the C programming language appeared 45 years ago, this and the C++ version are a must even today.
C is a procedural programming language, very effective in writing operating systems, but also in building embedded systems. On the other hand, C++ is object-oriented, high performance, so developers have control over memory and system resources. It is often used in graphics applications and especially game development for consoles, PC or phones.
Swift, the “new” alternative for iOS ML and server-side development
Swift is a “young” programming language, launched in 2014 by Apple, used to write iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS software. However, despite the novelty element, it managed to gain ground and enjoy popularity.
It began to be used more and more for the development of mobile applications and machine learning systems for iOS. Of course, it is also a good option for server-side development.
Don’t be afraid to outsource
Sometimes it can be complicated to find people with all the programming skills that would be useful for your business. Not to mention that even if you find them, the hiring and training process can be quite lengthy.
VON Tech leverages outsourcing and turns it into the most efficient solution. The +10 years experienced company provides hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development, implementation and application testing services, in the US, Germany, SEE (3 locations in Romania) and UAE.

The concept of nearshoring is increasingly popular in Germany, especially when it comes to IT. What does this entail? Briefly, it represents the outsourcing of some company operations to trained personnel, often located in neighboring countries. In 2019, according to the CBI, 77% of German enterprises nearshored their software development in Europe, while only 23% offshored it to countries based on other continents.
However, in such a dynamic market, this fact is not surprising. VON Tech, a company with experience in recruitment and outsourcing for over 15 years, operating in the US, Germany, SEE (3 locations in Romania) and UAE, brings to attention the reasons why nearshoring has become so widely used.
It positively impacts the business strategy
The strategic side is essential for any business, since the speed of development and profitability depend on it. The business strategy can be supported in a surprising way: through qualified and talented people in the IT field who live across borders.
It is important to know that revenues from the German IT industry have grown steadily over the last decade, reaching 113 billion euros in 2022. For 2023, a total of 120.2 billion euros is estimated. On the other hand, it is also worth remembering that there is a labor shortage in Germany. Last year, an all-time high was reached, with a shortfall of 320,600 STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workers.
Given the context, outsourcing tasks to people with rich knowledge is a considerable competitive advantage that more and more companies are turning to.
It helps when it comes to cost optimization
Nearshoring not only facilitates access to skilled personnel, but also leads to a company’s cost efficiency, characterized by increased budget control and flexibility.
According to information provided by Glassdoor in June 2023, the average salary of IT specialists in Germany reaches approximately 61,000 euros annually. This amount is much higher compared to the average salary in Poland (which is close to 23,000 euros annually, according to the Economic Research Institute) or the Czech Republic (which is just over 26,000 euros, according to the Economic Research Institute).
It enhances team efficiency
When you outsource certain complex tasks and you focus on the company’s strengths by leveraging them, the results are not long in coming. In other words, by using nearshoring you allow team members to focus on the tasks they are good at, without any additional stress.
And to forestall concerns about cultural differences that may affect the smooth running of business, we emphasize that proximity plays a key role. This type of collaboration often takes place between neighboring countries with no (big) time zone difference and similar cultural traits.
VON Tech IT outsourcing, a valuable alternative
To enjoy all these advantages, you need to get in touch with professionals in the field. VON Tech has a vast experience in helping IT businesses grow! Among the main guiding principles of the company are flexibility, cost efficiency and quality consultants.
The technical consultancy division delivers hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development services, application implementation and testing in telecommunications. VON Tech clients are mainly active in networking and semiconductors industries and all are top tier in their fields.
The company provides technical specialists, who can work either from the client’s offices or from their personal office. VON Tech comes with the most suitable recommendations so that the client’s needs and wishes are satisfied in an efficient manner, optimizing the necessary costs and time.
When running a business in the tech field in 2023, it may seem tempting to require your employees to go back to the office. Understandably so, especially under the current economic climate. Lately, many renowned figures in tech and other related industries have stepped up and spoken against WFH as no longer a viable option. And afterall, when summoning your employees to their literal desk jobs, you have one certainty: all will be under supervision and effectively doing their job. As a consequence, you get your money’s worth for the talent you pay monthly. But… is this actually the case?
Aside from demoralizing and destabilizing personnel with a strict WFO policy, after so many driven changes in the last 2 years, remote or hybrid work still have their advantages.
We put together a top 10 reasons why remote and hybrid work might benefit your company with the help of VON Tech, an IT service provider company operating in the US, Germany, SEE (3 locations in Romania) and UAE.
1. The employer-employee bond is strengthened
Trust is the key for being able to embrace a remote or hybrid work style. So, as a manager you have to trust the team you manage and, most importantly, make it known. You will be surprised to find that employees will feel validated, and then they will have an amplified responsibility, wanting not to disappoint.
2. Productivity level increases
According to a Stanford University study, in the spring of 2022 employees reported a 9% higher productivity percentage in remote mode than in physical mode. The percentage increased from 5% in the summer of 2020. This fact proves that it is recommended, at least occasionally, to change the lucrative environment with a familiar one. Thus, the tasks are not only done better, but they are also completed faster.
3. The recruitment process becomes more qualitative
When you want physical presence in the office, you limit yourself to the people near the headquarters. This means that an important criterion in the selection process is proximity, at the expense of training. But why not have access to extraordinarily skilled and talented employees? You can collaborate with them even if they are a hundred kilometers away, trust us.
4. Employee well-being is improved
According to a 2022 Cisco Systems Inc. survey, 77% of employees believe that remote and hybrid working has improved their overall well-being. This aspect is essential, because the emotions felt during working hours impact, positively or negatively, the final results. Employees who feel good at work will obviously have increased engagement.
5. Decision making and problem solving are facilitated
Organizing physical events, even simple meetings or discussion sessions with employees, have been and will remain more complicated than the online ones. The solution? It is brought to attention by remote or hybrid work: virtual meetings, which don’t take minutes for employees to join (because they are stuck in traffic or other similar reasons). In just a few moments, points of view can be presented, problems can be debated and the best decision can be made.
6. Employee performance can be evaluated easier
As a manager, it is necessary to be aware of every piece of news related to the performance of employees. So, you should know that your work can be simplified through some programs that deal with: idle time monitoring, total working hours or productivity metrics.
7. Financial resources are saved
Another advantage that cannot be neglected when it comes to remote or hybrid work is aimed at saving financial resources. In other words, less money will go towards renting office buildings. In addition, this financial surplus can take the form of performance bonuses for employees. They will undoubtedly have a positive effect on productivity and well-being.
8. The communication process is streamlined
Communication, regardless of the used channel, is very important for the smooth running of the company. When it comes to remote or hybrid work, the information process is greatly simplified. More precisely, you no longer have to play “find the person who can answer your question” at the office, but just send a message on a social media platform and everything is solved.
9. Employee retention increases
Frequent changes of employees are not a pleasant situation at all. These often involve a lot of wasted financial and time resources. A way they can be combated? According to IWG’s HR Leaders & Hybrid Working Report, 60% of HR leaders believe that hybrid working increases employee retention.
10. The work-life balance is improved
A leadership position comes with various responsibilities. Because of this, many managers spend too much time in the office and miss out on unique family moments. A remote or hybrid work style does not only positively impact the employees or the company, but also those who lead it. So… work from anywhere, anytime, and enjoy the people you care for.
