Why Asia-Pacific SSOs Must Lead with Future of Work 

The pandemic has been a clarion call for the implementation of new business models: Future of Work represents not just the next step, but the best strategy for operational resilience. Indeed, globally, shared services are building their ‘post-pandemic survival strategies’ on the twin foundations of Future of Work and Accelerated Automation.

With so much of global enterprise depending on the continuity of APAC centers ­– APAC is the leading region of choice for 60% of enterprises, with roughly 4,000 of 10,500 global delivery centers based there – the resiliency promised by FOW is the #1 priority for shared services leaders chasing a prominent role.

The pandemic also highlighted significant challenges for APAC operations – employees finding it difficult to pivot to work from home, for example, and disconnects through remote work. In addition, mental health and burnout concerns are top of the list of priorities.

Now is the time to look ahead to implement a comprehensive and durable workforce strategy. This summit shares successful strategies on building FOW into your operations, and modernizing work through smarter tech solutions.
