Hybrid working and working from home is set to become a permanent fixture in South Africa, says Accenture in Africa chief executive Vukani Mngxati.

Accenture is an Ireland-based multinational professional services company that specialises in information technology services and consulting.

“When we look at the future, we think work will now predominantly be done remotely and that flexibility is going to be a key driver. We aim to make sure that our people keep a balanced life at work and home to support our clients,” he said. However, he noted that there has been a significant shift as businesses did not anticipate was the significant mental wellness issues that came with working from home.

Mngxati says leaders have no choice but to understand the mental health consequences of remote work and to act swiftly where there are problems.
