South Africa’s Shift To Remote Work Spurs Tech Retailers To Support Businesses And Individuals For Future of Work

The future of work in South Africa is evolving as remote work has become a prevailing trend. Recent studies indicate that remote work has witnessed a remarkable surge in South Africa after Pandemic, with over 70% of companies now incorporating remote work policies.

The shift has been accelerated by technological advancements, changing employee preferences, cost effectiveness and the flexibility it offers to businesses and organizations during unforeseen disruptions as experienced in South Africa and indeed across the world during the COVID19 Pandemic.

The success of remote work

A leading research firm in South Africa, PwC in its latest survey, revealed that 87% of South African employees express a strong desire for remote work arrangements. The ability to strike a better work-life balance is a primary motivation for this preference, leading to improved job satisfaction and reduced employee turnover rates.

The success of remote work during the pandemic has created a global marketplace. It is now common for corporations to seek talent and offer remote work (in other words, outsourcing) across borders. Skilled South Africans leap at the chance to earn in Euros or US Dollars without having to uproot their families but just by leveraging cutting-edge technologies and devices that will enable them thrive in this new digital era.

Lack access to resources

According to the World Economic Forum’s 2023 Future of Jobs Report, 44 percent of worker skills will be disrupted over the next five years with analytical skills, creative thinking and technological literacy among those in the greatest demand. The WEF also predicts that six in ten employees will require immediate upskilling to stay relevant, but many will lack access to the resources they need such as cutting-edge technologies and devices that will adequately and practically prepare them for the future of work.
