In addition, 47 percent say improving digital skills is a challenge at a time when 41 percent of organisations say that improving the performance of a distributed workforce is a top business priority.

The survey of 165 UK organisations across the private and public sector reveals that cybersecurity remains top of mind, with more than a third stating the increase in cybercrime presents a challenge over the next 12 months. Unsurprisingly, this has led to half of the organisations saying that protection against cybercrime and data theft will be a technology investment priority.

Lyndsey Charlton, COO at Daisy Corporate Services said: “Technology undoubtedly played an important role in helping many organisations negotiate the pandemic. However, the research reveals there is a danger that some have tried to run before they can walk, which in turn has highlighted a skills gap. If organisations are to maximise their current and future technology investments, it is vital they provide their employees with the necessary training and support. This will not only boost productivity but also improve cybersecurity – allowing organisations to educate employees to use technology insecure manner.”
