BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Effortless connection between office-based and remote-working employees helps to maintain productivity in exceptional times.

 

RETURNING TO WORK – BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT

Organizations across all sectors have relied on remote voice and video collaboration solutions to keep colleagues connected throughout the recent global lockdown. Now, as employees gradually return to the workplace, what next for audio video (AV) collaboration?

Not all employees will return to the office immediately – if at all. So, it’s important to provide the same audio quality to your home-based employees as you do to those using meeting rooms at work. It’s how you’ll maintain the productivity you need to survive and thrive in the months ahead.

 

NEW BEHAVIORS. NEW TECHNOLOGY

In a  on behalf of Shure, the top five frustrations in virtual meetings were cited as: difficulty connecting, background noise, echo, audio cutting out, difficulties hearing each person.

The New Face of Office Collaboration

Statistics show that knowledge workers spend an average of 17 hours each month in meetings. This isn’t likely to change anytime soon, particularly in light of the growth in distributed employees and teams that must stay connected.

LEARNING A NEW APPROACH TO TEACHING IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR

The education sector has been hit hard by the global coronavirus pandemic. Colleges, universities, schools and training establishments sent students home. Lessons were delivered via online modules and virtual collaboration tools. Throughout the lockdown, teachers and lecturers used videoconferencing solutions more suited to social interaction than to delivering learning. 

THE NEW SHAPE OF OFFICE COLLABORATION

What will office collaboration look for the rest of this year and beyond? Certainly, it will be different to what it was at the start of 2020. For those returning to the workplace, there’s understandably a feeling of anxiety about how safe it is in terms of office hygiene and social distancing. Many employees will continue working from home, so there will be fewer people sharing rooms.

Meetings will continue to take place. Debating, decision-making and voting on local matters will carry on. How will collaboration continue? 

THE RISE AND RISE OF VIDEOCONFERENCING

Videoconferencing has come of age. Put to the test in the COVID-19 pandemic with millions of people working from home, its value as a business and learning enabler has soared. Indeed, the implementation of videoconferencing technologies has helped many organizations to survive this difficult time.

THE FUTURE OF MEETING SPACES

A meeting without video is still a meeting; a meeting without audio is cancelled.
