Hybrid Working

During the pandemic, remote working became the norm for many. For businesses, video conferencing tools played a pivotal role in enabling companies to continue to operate and they were an invaluable tool for employees. It gave them increased feelings of inclusion and meeting equity. A post-Covid working environment has opened up different forms of collaboration with many businesses electing to continue the flexibility of how their staff work; in the office, at home or from any other remote location. The challenge is now keeping this equality amongst all participants, however they chose to work. 

The latest hardware, video conferencing and collaboration solutions have been able to achieve this by providing ways to ensure an equal user experience for different ways of working. We have seen the major meeting software choices such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet engage AI technology to improve participant inclusion and participation. Collaborative solutions from companies such as Avocor embrace greater collaboration in video conferencing with digital whiteboarding that can also be easily shared. Additional desk solutions like Logi Dock from Logitech enable a hassle-free and simplified approach to hot desking. Being able to work with flexibility, wherever the location, has never been easier today and can greatly improve workforce engagement and increased productivity in the workplace.

Hybrid working doesn't just cover enabling employees to work and collaborate anywhere. It also acts as an opportunity for businesses to take control of how their offices and spaces are operated by implementing desk and room booking, visitor management and communication systems to draw data and analytics such as user behaviour, and preferences and help find ways for businesses to become cost and space efficient.
