Summer is almost over and soon we will all be back at work again. In 2025, many Swedish companies face a new challenge: to create sustainable work models that combine office presence with remote work.
And that's no small matter. According to SCB, it worked 46% of Swedes aged 20-64 will be away from home at least once a week in 2024 — a figure that is expected to increase further by 2025, particularly in knowledge-intensive industries such as technology, consultancy and the public sector.
So what does this mean for you as an entrepreneur or IT manager? That's pretty much it.
This is changing right now:
1. Companies plan new hires -- but not new office locations
According to a report by Real Estate Owners (2024), 43% of Swedish companies plan to reduce their office space within two years. At the same time, more than 60% say they plan to grow their workforce.
This creates a need for smart, site-independent IT solutions.
2. Occupational health and safety responsibilities extend to the kitchen table
According to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, companies have the same responsibility for the work environment regardless of where the work takes place. Lack of IT equipment at home can lead to both physical and mental ill-health — and, in the long run, higher sick leave rates.
! 3. Data security is becoming harder to manage
In hybrid environments, the risk of intrusions, data leaks and human error increases. According to MSB's IT Security Survey 2024, 32% of Swedish companies state that telecommuting has negatively affected their security work.
IT needs to be standardized, updated and controlled — regardless of location.
The current trend does not indicate a slowdown, but rather an increase in normalisation as a result of the opportunities presented by hybrid work. Hybrid work is becoming increasingly normalised, and Compliq has over many years built experience in establishing the infrastructure to support companies in this transition. By combining the appropriate hardware and software, many of our customers have achieved the safe and efficient handling of telecommuting. The current trend does not indicate a slowdown, but rather an increase in normalisation as a result of the opportunities presented by hybrid work.
Compliq makes it easier for you as a business owner to manage new staff and switch to hybrid work and support you with a future-proof workplace.
We work daily with companies that need to adapt to new ways of working. Our clients come to us with questions such as:
• How do we ensure that all staff have the right equipment — no matter where they sit?
• How do we build an IT environment that is sustainable, secure and easy to scale?
• How do we manage the lifecycle of our equipment — from purchase to reuse?
And the answer is rarely to buy new every time.
Many choose to rent complete IT solutions from us: computers, software, security, backup and support — optimized for hybrid work. We call the service “Workplace as a Service”. It provides you as an entrepreneur, reboarding, training, support and quality-tested hardware at a fixed and pre-owned monthly cost. We make sure your staff is up and running and working with the right login to all systems. It makes reboarding take any hour instead of days!
