Over the last year and a half, businesses have worked hard to adapt to the challenges of remote working, with many investing in new technology to keep communications flowing. The business response to the pandemic has demonstrated that, with the right tools, employees can work from home and, for the most part, are happy to.
With a‘ return to normal’ now on the horizon, many businesses will opt for a mixture of remote working and office working, commonly referred to as‘ Hybrid Working.’
Business leaders recognise the benefits of adopting hybrid working, including reduced travel costs, fewer sick days, higher productivity and a better work-life balance.
With leading organisations like Nationwide and PWC announcing their intention to adopt a hybrid working model, other businesses are expected to follow suit. At the beginning of‘ the great remote working experiment’, businesses rushed to acquire new technology that would enable remote working. But will the technology that
has served businesses well throughout the last year continue to work effectively when employees work from the office once again?
For the most part, the answer is yes, but with some important caveats.
Here are just some of the most frequent questions we’ re asked when talking to clients who are planning a return to the office:
• Will office communications systems that were in place pre-pandemic, continue to provide a return on investment?
• How can we ensure the security of our company network when some staff split their time between working from the office and working at home?
• Can we connect our existing meeting room equipment to our chosen video meetings platform?
• How can we ensure we make the best possible use of the office space we have and ensure employee working environments are safe?
Our knowledge and experience of the everchanging communications marketplace combined with long-standing relationships with best-in-class technology providers have allowed us to gain insight into the challenges that lay ahead.
Now, we’ ve distilled that insight into a 20 page guide entitled“ How To Prepare Your Business For Hybrid Working”.
In this comprehensive and practical guide, we discuss the benefits of the hybrid working model, examine the operational challenges that need to be addressed and offer solutions to help your business adopt this new way of working.
