Financial service provider Nedbank has announced a planned shift in its workforce structure, with a number of employees set to continue working from home permanently post the Covid-19 pandemic.

As part of this hybrid model shift, the bank has informed employees whose jobs do not require them to be in a branch or office, that they can work from home on a permanent basis if they choose. It has also partnered with cloud computing company Citrix Solutions to offer remote working systems and virtual desktops.

“As a result, we have seen a drastic increase in bandwidth requirements, and have more latency-sensitive applications that require more resilience, stability and quality than ever.” Fuller said that Nedbank’s corporate real estate team has reviewed international research and that this will inform the bank’s post-Covid approach and its new ‘hybrid workforce’ model.

For Desai, the biggest issue facing companies in 2022, alongside vaccine mandates and work-from-home policies, is the retention of talent.
