What is your Crestron Modern Work Readiness Score?

The adoption of modern work practices has now reached a tipping point that every organisation needs to be ready for.

Hybrid work, which offers flexibility with the support of technology, is entering the mainstream, moving from trial and experiment to mass adoption.

That’s the claim in a new report produced in partnership by Crestron and the Worktech Academy which includes a link to a survey which will give readers a Modern Work Readiness Score.

A preview of the report was made available at the Crestron Modern Work Summit yesterday, following a keynote speech by Philip Ross, founder of Worktech and CEO of Ungroup and Cordless Group.

Commenting on the report, Ross said: “The world will be increasingly divided between those companies who are prepared for hybrid working and those who are not. And those who are not ready will struggle with both business demands and employee expectations.”

Ross believes digital preparedness should be a priority, which means gearing up technology systems to support flexible work patterns and meet new operational needs.

He refers to a trend called ‘the science of work’ to describe how businesses are bringing a range of technologies in to the workplace to match the adoption of hybrid working.

He added: “The important thing is that technology is aligned with HR policies and space plans so that there is a holistic approach and companies can have a clear perspective on their journey to workplace transformation.”

The Modern Work Readiness survey will help companies assess how well-equipped they are to address the opportunities and challenges of the new work era. The survey is a short, simple survey tool which asks 20 questions about the integration of people, place, and technology in an organisation. These questions range widely from hybrid working policies to how early in the workplace planning process technology is considered and how many of an organisation’s meeting rooms are video-enabled.

The survey tool produces a percentage score out of 100, enabling organisations to rank their level of readiness for modern work. Respondents to the survey will also receive advice on how to improve.
