Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Theme: Remote Working

The option to work remotely was already being embraced by some businesses in the pre-

 lOMoARcPSD|28548849

pandemic era. These businesses were making some progress to adapt their working
practices to accommodate remote working by allowing those in certain job roles to take
the opportunity to work from home, albeit a day or two a week. However, on the whole
there had been a reluctance to have staff working remotely and this has largely centred
around productivity concerns, security implications and technology issues.

The global pandemic however necessitated and accelerated the move to remote working.
The vast majority of businesses have now shifted some or all of their operations online,
and almost all of their staff are working from home. The enabling force behind this
necessary shift has been the different technologies and platforms that facilitate workers to
achieve business goals remotely.

This sudden shift to remote working took place within weeks and months and has not
been without issues. Several surveys conducted during this period cited business leaders
complaining about how technology problems have impacted their business and
employees while working remotely.

The biggest issues remote workers face are being frequently disconnected from corporate
networks, slow file downloads, poor quality of video meetings and long response times
when loading apps. As a result, building secure, effective and integrated technology
capability, to continue this flexibility in the workforce, has now become a priority for all
organisations. .

Prepare the Project Proposal, Research Ethic Approval Form, and a Research Report
on the range of topics discussed could cover the following:

1. Digital transformation strategies

2. Monitoring and productivity tools, their uses and implications
3. Key security concerns when working remotely

The research objective should allow students to broaden their understanding and widen
their perspective of being able to explore, argue, prove, and/or disprove a particular
objective.

The research objective should be feasible, novel, ethical, relevant and ultimately of
interest.
