Dynamic working environments and secure technology event

In today's fast-paced world, the dynamics of working environments are evolving rapidly, particularly within government agencies. Our recent event delved deep into the topic of dynamic working environments and the role of secure technology in empowering the workforce.

Hosted by Samantha Andrews (Head of Partner Management, Trams | Econocom, ) , the event features insights from industry experts Tom Maguire (Head of IT, Trams | Econocom), Joanne Cumper (Strategic Lead - IT Talent Acquisition , London Borough of Lambeth), and Helen Coomb ( Cabinet Member for Resources and Transformation, London Borough of Redbridge), who share their experiences and strategies for navigating the challenges faced by councils.

One of the key themes discussed is the importance of attracting and retaining talent within the public sector. Helen Coomb highlighted the necessity for councils to promote their unique opportunities beyond traditional roles, showcasing the breadth of jobs available that contribute to community welfare. This is crucial in a competitive job market where skilled professionals are in high demand.

As the conversation unfolded, the experts address the significance of technology in enhancing productivity. With hybrid working becoming the norm, the need for secure technology solutions is more pressing than ever. Tom Maguire emphasises the shift towards zero-trust architecture, ensuring that devices are treated as untrusted by default, thereby safeguarding sensitive data.

Another critical aspect covered is cybersecurity. With the rise of remote work, the risk of cyberattacks has increased, making it essential for organisations to implement robust security protocols. Joanne Cumper discusses the importance of training programmes to equip staff with the necessary skills to navigate new technologies securely.

The event also engaged the audience with interactive polls, inviting them to share their views on the effectiveness of their current security measures and their feelings about the future of technology in their workplaces.

In conclusion, this event is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and public service. The insights shared by our guests provide practical solutions for creating dynamic working environments that not only attract talent but also ensure the security of sensitive information. Watch the replay to discover how your organisation can thrive in this rapidly changing landscape!
