\n& Skills Survey”. Jointly conducted by HKPC and Quokka HR between April and
\nMay this year to explore the difficulties for Hong Kong enterprises to
\nimplement remote work, the Survey interviewed over local 600 employers and
\nemployees online with the following results:<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n\n
\nthink hybrid work is feasible in the future while 62% of them have plans to
\nimplement it permanently;<\/li>\n
\nthat hybrid work would increase work arrangement flexibility and develop a
\nflexible hiring strategy, as well as reduce company cost;<\/li>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
\nthese into account, the Survey showed that most of the employers and employees
\npolled would prefer hybrid work, similar to the results of other surveys of the
\nsame nature conducted under COVID-19. As remote work and hybrid work are new
\ntrends during and post-pandemic, they are posing an unprecedented challenge for
\nHong Kong enterprises and their employees. Enterprises will need to strengthen
\nIT infrastructure and staff training to achieve higher productivity and
\ncompetitiveness.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nstrives to provide support for enterprises to embark on the journey of
\ninnovation and transformation. It organises various courses on FutureSkills
\ndevelopment to strengthen the talent pool, enabling enterprises to grasp the
\nlatest digital and STEM technologies to enhance enterprise skills and market
\ncompetitiveness. The Survey reported that 82% of employees felt the need to
\nupgrade their IT knowledge and digital skills, with 83% wishing their employers
\nto arrange the relevant trainings. HKPC Academy will organise more related
\ncourses for enterprises and staff to better “equip for the future” under the
\npost-pandemic new normal.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n60% of employers demanded technical support for data security risks. To address
\nthe potential data leakages and cyber security vulnerabilities, the Hong Kong
\nComputer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) of HKPC regularly
\norganises cyber security seminars and releases educational videos to remind
\nenterprises of the correct application of cloud and Internet of Things technologies to guard against cyber attacks. In
\nthe future, it will be more proactive in working for the cyber security of Hong
\nKong enterprises and their employees. <\/p>\n

\ndigital transformation of enterprises around the world. With remote operation
\nand work becoming a trend under the new normal, many Hong Kong enterprises are
