The Covid-19 pandemic has brought many changes, including transforming the way we work and deliver our tasks. Restriction on physical interactions hinders the daily operations of SMEs in their bid to ensure customers can buy their products.
The shift towards online platforms to sell or offer their services increased tenfold over the past two years. The new normal has brought constant challenges in the adaptation, leading them to search for solutions to incorporate digitalisation as part of their long-term business operation as a hybrid working on an upward trend as a permanent work culture.
This work style and new operation method help save resources, increase productivity, and promote a healthy work-life balance if executed well.
