February/March 2024
Welcome to the February/March Newsletter
We’ve now entered a new year, so we thought it was important to share our conversations with three experts who highlight the priorities for small businesses in 2024. We offer even more resources after each interview to help put your resolutions into action.
First, for 83% of small businesses, improving cybersecurity is top of mind. Even so, it’s sometimes hard to know where to begin. We discuss several easy ways to strengthen your security to make sure your network is protected against the latest cyberthreats.
Another priority for small businesses is hybrid work. How and where we work continues to evolve, so flexibility is important. Companies vary – employees experience everything from working one day a week at home to being fully remote. 84% of small businesses are adapting to a hybrid workforce, so we share best practices and how to get started.
Finally, another priority for many small businesses is sustainability. Not only is there a positive environmental impact, there can be benefits to a company’s bottom line as well. It’s no wonder 52% of SMBs are now dedicating at least 10% of their budget to sustainability. Small actions make a big difference - we offer ways to integrate sustainability into your own business.
