In the latest podcast episode from MyTechDecisions, Shure's William Zadnik discusses the importance of audio for hybrid work and details the ways high-quality audio can reduce the negative impact of roadblocks to collaboration.
“…a recently released whitepaper by Frost & Sullivan, in collaboration with Shure, found that 57% of teams expect to be in the office less than 10 days each month in the long term. Equally notable, the whitepaper found that 98% of employees believe future meetings will always include remote participants.”
“...high-quality audio technology can reduce the negative impact to hybrid work productivity imposed by roadblocks to collaboration like sound cutting out, echo, background noise and participants not being able to be heard.”
