Adobe released a comprehensive new study, showing that employees and managers alike increasingly rely on a digitized workplace to stay productive and increase their companies’ competitiveness.
The study surveyed more than 9,700 employees, enterprise (ENT) managers and small business (SMB) leaders across eight markets.
It found that economic turmoil, climate change, and COVID-19 had left a deep and lasting impact on how people approach their work, with many saying that the tech industry’s trend toward digitalization still has a long way to go.
“Businesses of all sizes continue to grapple with considerable uncertainty, as well as frequent impacts on employee well-being and productivity,” said Todd Gerber, vice president of Document Cloud at Adobe.
Adapting to macroeconomic shifts necessitates that organizations prioritize strategic investments in digital technologies that will enable better workforce productivity, collaboration and innovation.
The study found that persistent uncertainty has led many companies to replace legacy processes with cloud technologies, in a bid to improve their competitiveness and resilience in an ever-changing world.
