Understanding how Covid has changed the way businesses deal with their suppliers will be key to winning and keeping business in 2022, writes Marcus McNamara, Head of APAC, Sana Commerce:  It’s been two years since the virus up-ended life as we knew it, here in Australia and around the world. Businesses have been on a tumultuous journey since that time, with many forced to abandon long standing processes and practices and embrace new ones. Pivoting to digital has been the common theme, with enterprises turning to online platforms and programs to maintain business continuity and interact with their suppliers and customers.

Rapid advances in technology are changing the way companies in Australia and worldwide do business and to remain competitive globally leaders should continue to employ a flexible staffing strategy that combines permanent and contract employees, according to recruitment firm Robert Half.

The scientific & technical and professional services industries were amongst the industry sectors performing well, above the average, in September according to the latest business confidence report by Roy Morgan Research.
