Remote workforce expected to double to almost 40 percent

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 7, 2020 – The COVID-19 lockdown experience will have a lasting impact on the tech workforce, with almost three quarters of companies now expecting remote workers to become more common, according to a new survey by Greater Nashville Technology Council.

The survey of tech council members across Middle Tennessee gathered responses from 87 employers, representing 34,317 full-time and 7,422 part-time employees. Almost three-quarters (72 percent) of surveyed employers expect working from home to become more common after the COVID-19 quarantine. Just 28 percent expect their workforce to return to its pre-quarantine mix.

In March, our community has experienced not only deadly tornadoes but also a pandemic. This has left many tech workers displaced and searching for employment. To help those and other job seekers in our community, The Greater Nashville Technology Council will be hosting a Virtual Tech Job Fair TOMORROW.

The NTC Technology Summer Camps will be brought right to your door this summer!  All of our camps will be virtual – allowing kids to connect wherever their feet are planted!  We are offering seven different one-week camps with two-hours of instruction each day by an interactive, live teacher that teaches in our public school communities.  Our public school teachers ROCK and they already figured out how to deliver a fun, interactive class -virtual!  Camps will include everything from traversing through forest and mountaintops in the world of Minecraft to using an app like SeeSaw  to write and illustrate all the details of 3D exploration.  Be sure to check out the full list by clicking the link below.

We are excited to share that we have partnered with Code Advantage , who call themselves “coding superheroes” (and we agree).  They are offering three different two-week coding camps using Roblox, Python and Web Development to get kids pumped-up about a future in tech.  Each class builds off the previous class and includes one-hour instruction each day with a live teacher.  Be sure to check out the full list by clicking the link below.

The NTC Technology Summer Camps line-up gives kids an engaging, fun way to learn tech and it encourages creativity, collaboration, problem-solving & logical thinking (without your kids realizing that they received a big dose of tech knowledge!  No dog days of summer).  Each one-week camp holds about 10 students and our two-week camp holds about 15 students.  Ready. Set. Register!

As the dust settles on the rapid global shift toward remote work, balancing security and user productivity can be a challenge. This is especially true when systems that govern our most sensitive content need to be rapidly stood up and expanded as the requirement for remote collaboration accelerates. Join Box for a discussion of the common pillars that have emerged among Box’s customers as they manage security, compliance, and user experience at scale. The discussion will include tips and lessons learned on securing your enterprise content while enabling your remote workforce with best of breed cloud technologies.

A March 1, 2020 study by the Boston Consulting Group showed that major crises often result in a rearranging of competitive positions in any industry. At the end of the crisis, businesses that were formerly on top find themselves on the bottom, or at least knocked down a peg or two, and those on the bottom often come out on top.

Those businesses that did well made use of their time during the crisis to prepare a marketing strategy and materials that allowed them to hit the ground running after the crisis was over with a fully developed, thematically appropriate marketing program. Those that fell behind waited until the crisis had past to begin formulating their marketing approach, and found themselves 6-8 weeks behind their more nimble competitors.

In this webinar, we will explore how to develop a Rapid Rebound marketing strategy from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will look at:

1. What you can do now to build credibility during the crisis.
2. What strategies and materials you should be preparing now to launch quickly after the crisis has past.
3. How to determine the inflection point that indicates the crisis is approaching a point when it is appropriate to launch your Rapid Rebound.
