Technology Month…

This week marked the beginning of February – and the start of Technology Month at PA Life, as we examine the solutions and techniques available to help us our professional lives

During the pandemic, technology has never been more important, and – whether it’s navigating pro Zoom functions, sourcing new comms tools such as Slack and Discord, or onboarding new systems such as Plandisc, we’ve all had to learn new skills. And throughout this month, we’ll be looking at the multitude of new tech available, as well as providing guides on how to use it.

According to recent research, almost two-thirds of businesses see a digital skills shortfall as one of the most significant challenges facing their company in 2021. 77% of decision makers admitted that they already have plans to increase their technical training and 70% plan to offer existing workers reskilling or refresher tech and IT courses.

With this in mind, we have teamed up with technology experts and PAs in the field to help you improve your digital skills. Topics include smarter business management, hybrid events, essential tasks for a graphic design VA and advice for starting in the technology sector.

In addition, we will continue to add to the PA Life Magazine YouTube Channel with videos from venues, along with interviews with your peers.

Supporting each other through remote working and, in many cases home schooling, is at the top of our agenda this month and we invite you to take part. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any tips or tools you would like to share.
