 Hybrid working has been in the news recently as companies respond to employees’ increased interest in remote working. The mass “work from home” culture created by the pandemic has demonstrated that it’s possible to give employees the option of remote working without any loss to work productivity. Employees are now looking for flexibility, which means that many employers will need to adapt to this huge shift in working culture to compete in attracting and retaining staff. Many companies are now adopting a hybrid working model of having employees work in the office as well as remotely. The culture of meetings has changed greatly in the past 18 months and technology is essential in facilitating a successful hybrid work environment. Employers are researching the tools they need to enable effective collaboration for their employees, whether they are in the office or remote. Optimizing the use of technology across a hybrid workforce will mean enabling a seamless blend between remote and office work, and success will be determined by the ability to ensure an inclusive and connected workplace environment.  Smart meeting rooms are quickly becoming a crucial technology investment for companies going to the hybrid work model. These intelligent spaces integrate hardware and software to create a productive meeting experience. The challenge with hybrid working is how to facilitate an environment where all of the people are able to share ideas and content. The blending of in-room and remote participants in a meeting, needs to be an easy process for all involved or it will hinder collaboration within the team and can create isolation or splinter the group.
Technology plays a crucial role. Utilizing the right tools, team leaders can effectively include all staff in this new way of hybrid working. To make this effective and sustainable, companies need the right technology and support to guide them through this massive change. There are a variety of new products available on the market that, when effectively linked together, create a seamless and inclusive working environment. Yet, with many choices out there, it can be hard to decide what technology will be the best investment for your company.

These changes will result in an office environment like we have never seen before, nearly doubling the number of people who will be working remotely at least part of their week (compared with pre-pandemic numbers). Comments are closed.
