With over 70% of employees openly preferring the world of hybrid work and many employers seeing cost savings and wellbeing benefits too, more and more businesses are switching to a flexible or remote working model.  And it’s working!  Staff are happier and stick around longer, employers are finding more efficiencies and a more productive workforce: win-win.  The question is: are you doing it right? 

The chances are that you switched to a remote working model during COVID, maybe you made do – cobbling systems together into something workable.  Have you looked at how that’s working for you since? 

The technology to enable remote working isn’t new but it really has advanced in the last few years to make flexible working just as easy as having all of your staff in the same place at the same time. 

Fully Integrated Communications

Creating a happy hybrid workforce starts with communication.   Introducing a unified communications system – bringing together audio, video, and email – that staff can access on any device and from any location is the ideal way to unify staff and customers scattered across the country.

Video is king

Video conferencing has really come into its own as a primary tool for staying in touch with each other.  Whether you’re using a web based, app based or device-based video calling system, are you sure you have the technology you need at the office and that staff have all of the audio-visual equipment they need to make it as easy as possible? Can everyone participate fully?  

Cloud based 

A cloud-based system can offer the very best security for your company data as well as making it really easy for staff working on or offsite to access at the touch of a button.  There are many cloud-based comms systems on the market that combine the usability and security every modern hybrid business needs. 

Work Together – Apart

Virtual shared workspaces are hugely helpful for staff working across remote sites.  Whether it’s the ability to collaborate on project documents, share contacts, conduct interactive team meetings or brainstorm together wherever they may be. A system like NEC’s Univerge Blue can provide all of this functionality and so much more.
