THE CHALLENGES OF FLEXIBLE WORKPLACES
Flexible workspaces have gained significant popularity in recent years, allowing employees to work from anywhere in the office. Hot desking, a practice where employees use unassigned workstations, further enhances flexibility and collaboration.
But it’s not as simple as handing your staff laptops and saying, “Enjoy!” You need the right tools in place to make a flexible office space work.
TOOLS FOR SUCCESS
Cloud-Based Communication
To support flexible workspaces, cloud-based collaboration platforms keep everyone connected regardless of where they’re working from. Whether someone’s in a huddle room, in the lounge, or working remotely, they’re available at the same time as everyone else in one unified communication (UC) system. UC platforms combine messaging, file sharing, calling, email, and video calls, so everything is in one location across devices.
Docking Monitors
As great as flexibility can be, some of your staff won’t want to work on a laptop all the time. That’s where docking monitors come into play. Docking monitors have become increasingly popular as they provide a simplified way to connect laptops to multiple peripherals. With a single cable connection, employees can power their laptops, connect to additional displays, and access external devices.
And in our age of video conferencing, monitors with built-in cameras are crucial. In creative departments, touch monitors may be beneficial for collaborative brainstorming or interactive presentations.
Video Conferencing Systems
Can a group of people gather in your conference rooms and successfully join video calls? Can remote staff hear and see everyone adequately? If not, you’ll need to upgrade your conferencing system to better support virtual meetings.
Zoom Rooms, a widely adopted technology system, offers an integrated solution for video conferencing, content sharing, and collaboration. Zoom Rooms connect cameras, speakers, video displays, and control panels into one easy-to-use Zoom interface, only requiring a tap of a button to start a call with all the necessary technology.
And about that technology—do you have enough cameras and microphones to capture everyone in the room? Successful conferencing systems often require tabletop or ceiling microphones for clear audio and may benefit from more than one auto-tracking camera so everyone’s part of the conference call.
