COVID-19 forced new ways of working, whether we were ready or not. As workers head back to the office, the workplace must adapt. Smart facilities, connected employees, AI and augmented capabilities will drive a healthier and "lower touch" office. The workforce of the future will be highly digital -- gig workers, remote collaborative workers, office-based workers -- all need to connect to customers and to each other. Capacity planning and management are key factors.

When we analyzed the future of the work and workplace technology services and solutions market in 2022, we remarked that enterprise workplace leaders are at the center stage of the transformation. 2023 has experienced two significant developments so far. First, there is a growing concern about a possible economic slowdown. Second, there have been substantial developments in artificial intelligence technology. These developments, combined with the trends we observed last year, namely growing acceptance of hybrid working and increasing focus on sustainability and a tech-savvy workforce, are largely influencing enterprise workplace technology buying decisions.
Global enterprises are accepting the hybrid working model, wherein their workforce is allowed to work from a location of their choice and asked to report to office in case of absolute need. Depending on an employee’s work profile, corporate culture and vision requirements, organizations worldwide are framing policies to distribute their workforce into remote and in-office working modes.
