This feels like a step in the wrong direction, especially in regards to flexible workplaces and scheduling. Sure, in-person collaboration is great, but it’s hard to argue with the increasing body of proof showcasing the benefits of remote work, especially for SMBs.

Or maybe that distinct screech of a dial-up modem connecting? While technology has rocketed forward since then, some businesses still cling to an outdated approach when it comes to managing their IT: the break-fix method. This means waiting for something to go wrong—a server crash, a software glitch, a security breach—before calling for help. It might seem cost-effective initially, but this reactive stance is becoming increasingly risky and wasteful.
