Latin America. The workplace has undergone massive changes and key trends have only accelerated after the COVID-19 pandemic. An entire workforce is entering the era of hybrid work, and for most of us the laptop has become the main window to the world to communicate and hold conferences.
Today, one in three employees wants to change jobs because of hybrid work issues. In today's working world, working conditions are as important as wages in attracting and retaining employees. Workers expect their companies to be fully equipped for a more hybrid way of working. With much-needed policies, technology and redesigned offices.
This dynamic of working at home and in the office, can fall into the BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) category, is the reason why users currently require tools that allow them to immediately access, in their meeting rooms, connections with calls from Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex and others.
Following the launch of ClickShare Conference 2nd Generation at ISE Barcelona earlier this year, Barco addressed the emerging need for wireless conferencing in meeting rooms as it provides a revolutionary solution to respond to the growing need for BYOM in the workplace.
With BYOM, you can work in any meeting room by simply plugging in the conference button and using your own device to easily host a video conference in seconds, benefiting from the audiovisual setup of the room you're in, using your preferred conferencing solution. Remote work was already booming and new technologies such as ClickShare allow hybrid work to be made more flexible.
The paradox of hybrid work
Workers are satisfied with the improvement of their work-life balance and productivity levels when working and meeting in a hybrid way. Even so, they encounter hybrid work challenges and experience stress caused by technical and emotional challenges.
The new workforce expects employers to be prepared with a proactive hybrid work environment that features the policies, technology and redesigned office spaces that enable efficient hybrid working. Of course, this comes with its own challenges. And once a company outgrows them, it can actually use hybrid work to attract and retain employees.
Thus, there are important points to consider in order to carry out this talent attraction:
- Provide hybrid workers with a framework to be more productive
- Make hybrid meetings inclusive
- Optimize the user experience in the hybrid workplace
- Equip home office and meeting room for an engaged hybrid meeting
- Reduce the stress of hybrid meetings
Switch to hybrid forms of meeting
Thus, today the importance of connecting people at a distance has never been so relevant. Lockdowns and quarantines have forced employees around the world to work, meet and collaborate from home, with technology as a vital link between them. As a result, organizations are taking a more hybrid approach to remote and office work. As IT departments look to equip the workplace with flexible and productive solutions to merge the physical and virtual worlds, the advantages of having wireless conferencing solutions like ClickShare Conference in the hybrid meeting room are evident.
By improving the intuitive meeting experience for both users working in the room and those working remotely, and enabling easy and secure collaboration and sharing, investing in ClickShare Conference pays off. With this, users can use their own preferred devices and solutions, those with which they worked from home, to make immersive and wireless video conferences in the office.
