Hybrid workforce IT checklist for 2026

Hybrid working is now the default. The businesses that make it work quietly have five things right - identity, endpoints, connectivity, collaboration and support.

Identity and access

Single sign-on for every business application
MFA enforced for all users, including admins
Conditional access based on device compliance and risk

Endpoints

Modern managed laptops with disk encryption
Autopilot or MDM enrolment out of the box
EDR on every device and patch SLAs that are actually met

Connectivity and collaboration

Symmetric fibre or 5G at home for key roles
One cloud phone system across office, home and mobile
A single collaboration stack - Teams or Google Meet, not both

Support

24/7 access to a helpdesk that knows your estate
Self-service password reset and app requests
Onboarding and offboarding automated in under an hour
