2022 Predictions: What’s Next for Data Protection?
During 2020 and 2021, there was a shift in focus to improving remote working capabilities, access to cloud infrastructure and securing data. Over the next year, however, I believe businesses will desire more control of their data, with a greater focus on the ability to facilitate portability and seamless response to the changing demands of the future. Although hybrid and multi-cloud models are not new, the freedom they provide will make it even more of a reality moving forward. With 2022 only just around the corner and promising to enable the exponential growth in the data protection industry, you might be wondering what’s next. To help plan in advance, here’s a few top trends to look out for…

Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace
According to research by McKinsey, companies with low rates of gender and racial diversity are 29% more likely to be less profitable than their more inclusive competitors. Similarly, companies with higher gender diversity on executive teams have a 21% likelihood of outperforming companies that scored low on gender diversity. The business case for having an inclusive culture is clear. Greater diversity among executive teams perform better. Businesses with stronger commitments to diversity are also more likely to attract top talent and improve customer and employee satisfaction.

移英真係咁難搵工？
英國向來是香港人升學或移民的熱門地之一，隨著英國放寬居留規定，令定居門檻進一步下降，最近移英成為城中熱話。 英國政府推出新簽證「Hong Kong BN(O) Visa」，由2021年1月起，曾經擁有BNO資格的港人，可依此方法申請到英國生活，期間有權工作及讀書，住滿5年後可申請定居身份，再居留多1年，即可申請成為公民。英國外交部估計，5年內將有約20萬人以此途徑移居英國，或成為英國近年最大規模的非歐洲移民之一。 移民要準備的事何其多，選擇定居城市、找尋居所、銀行開戶、找工作、找學校、考車牌，每件事都不是一蹴即就。其中說到找工作，很多人都很灰地說，移英只能做藍領、做水電工人，就算有幸做回老本行，人工都會少一大截。 其實香港作為英國昔日的殖民地，跟英國在文化和資歷架構等多方面都已經比較相似，故此港人在英國有一定優勢，其中服務業是英國經濟最主要的部分，尤其是倫敦是國際金融城市，這點跟香港十分相似，港人只要加強對兩文三語的掌握就不用太擔心。而且港人擁有流利的中文讀寫及口語能力，且認識亞洲文化，有助英國人持續發展亞洲市場；而港人擁有粵語優勢，比只懂普通話的華人更具競爭力。

【IT事務所】還看新加坡「智慧國2025」的發展（上）
剛踏進2020年，不少人認為是另一個十年的開始，對新加坡而言，自2016年啟動國家級數位轉型戰略「智慧國2025」（Smart Nation 2025）的10年計劃，該計劃從「數碼經濟」（digital economy）、「數碼政府」（digital government）及「數碼社會」（digital society）三大支柱規劃新加坡數位轉型之推動策略與重點工作，期望政府應用數碼科技，協助企業掌握相關商機，並致力持續提升民眾生活與居住品質，讓新加坡面對未來人口老化及城市化衍生之各項挑戰時，能有更好的準備與競爭力。 近年來「數碼轉型」的概念逐漸在世界各國發酵，各國無不積極尋找應用數位科技翻轉國家運作的契機，讓民眾、企業與政府均具備基本數位技能，應對數碼時代的衝擊。根據聯合國2018年電子化政府研究調查（UN eGovernment Survey 2018）指出，各國政府發展數位化應用的焦點，已從「提升政府運作效率」轉變為「建立永續發展的社會」，國家數位轉型已是各國維持國際競爭力的重要課題。
