Hybrid 2.0 - the new collaboration hero

There is no going back to pre-pandemic ways of working. Whilst it is true that organisations are experiencing a vast employee return-to-office, lifestyles have changed, recruitment is no longer limited to commuting distances and for many businesses they will never fully return to working patterns pre 2020.
‍
The boundaries between physical and virtual workspaces are blurred, with companies rethinking the design of their office to cater for a hybrid workforces.

With video meetings now happening literally anywhere, the audio and video technology we use plays a huge part in not only defining our professionalism and making you a sought after employer, but also in ensuring meeting equity for dispersed hybrid working teams.

Geographic scatter shouldn’t matter

One of the biggest challenges for hybrid meetings is the obstacle of inclusivity. Whether employees are joining from a home office, a kitchen table or even from the workplace office - how do you ensure that everyone is involved in the conversation?

Traditionally it would have been those at home that suffered during a remote meeting when everyone else was in the office, now we’re increasingly seeing that people have their headphones, cameras and microphones ready to work from home, and it is office meeting rooms that are no longer fit for purpose.

How often have you joined a call and seen a few people sat in an echoey space with their audio not being fully picked up and a zoomed out camera barely showing their expressions?
