Digital workspace leader leverages expertise in
flexible work models and expanded microapp capabilities to help
companies return employees to facilities as economies reopen
As governments around the world ease their lockdowns, businesses
must decide how, when and if to return their employees to offices.
And Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS), the global digital
workspace leader, is leveraging its decades of experience in
delivering flexible work solutions to help organizations of all
sizes across industries do it. The company today announced the
availability of a new back-to-office solution built on Citrix®
Workspace™ that its customers and partners can use to safely
transition employees back to offices, enhance their experience and
wellbeing and enable them to efficiently adapt to the new world of
work.
“Most companies are realizing that back to the office will not
mean back to normal,” said Tim Minahan, Executive Vice President,
Business Strategy, Citrix. “Citrix has been powering flexible and
secure work models for more than 400,000 global organizations
within our digital workspace for more than three decades, and we
are uniquely positioned to help them adapt and get back to business
while putting the safety and wellbeing of their employees
first.”
Delivering the Next Normal
Historically, the office was the place where collaboration and
innovation happened. Outside meeting spaces, colleagues held casual
conversations in hallways, cafeterias and gyms. But protocols
designed to slow the spread of the coronavirus have changed this.
Physical office spaces must now be configured to allow for social
distancing. Employee schedules have to be revised to reduce the
number of people in buildings at one time. Employees are required
to be screened before they enter the premises. And visitors may not
be allowed.
“This is an unprecedented time,” said Jeffrey Dean, Director,
Global Security and Risk Services, Citrix. “There is no blueprint
for safely returning employees to the office, but with the right
technology and insights, companies can create a path to drive their
business forward.”
An Intelligent Solution Designed with Wellness in
Mind
With Citrix Workspace, companies can provide a consistent work
experience that allows employees to perform at their best while
addressing safety and health in the office environment. Leveraging
new back-to-office microapp capabilities within the workspace,
organizations can manage vital tasks associated with re-opening
offices across HR, legal, facilities and IT, such as:
- Conducting employee readiness surveys
- Identifying and managing the moments that matter most to
employees upon returning to the workplace, such as where they will
sit or how team and customer meetings will be handled
- Executing safety protocols
- Performing health screenings and self-certifications
- Managing occupancy to ensure social distancing
- Location mapping and contact tracing
- Designing communications strategies
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, City National Bank of Florida
(CNB), like many financial institutions, scaled back physical
operations at banking center locations to keep its employees,
clients and the communities it serves safe. Throughout the pandemic
CNB has served clients by appointment in banking center lobbies and
via drive throughs.
“As we prepare to fully reopen these locations, it is critical
that people feel safe,” said Ariel Carrion, Senior Vice President,
Chief Technology Officer, City National Bank of Florida. “The new
microapp capabilities within Citrix Workspace will help us manage
safety protocols on an ongoing basis and instill the confidence and
trust of our employees and clients.”
Charting a New Course
COVID 19 has set businesses sailing in unchartered waters. “As
organizations focus on sustainable business practices, teams need
to work, collaborate and lead in a highly distributed environment
while increasing employee engagement,” said Shannon Kalvar,
Research Manager, IT Service Management and Client Virtualization
for IDC. “The most reliable path forward will be engaging in the
difficult discussions to find a path forward that both bolsters
preparedness and accepts uncertainty to create a different
relationship with partners, employees, and clients alike.”
To this end, Citrix has also launched a back-to-office resource
center where companies can access technology demonstrations
alongside templates and best practice processes, including those
used by Citrix.
“People can’t do their best work if they don’t feel safe, and
competitive advantage will go to organizations that recognize this
and leverage technology to create environments in which employees
are protected and can thrive,” Dean said. “We at Citrix have worked
closely with medical experts, public safety and community officials
to build a toolkit and guidelines to bring our own employees back
to the office safely, and we are happy to share these with our
customers and the market at large to help them do the same.”
