Maximize Collaboration in a Hybrid Work Environment with Contactless Wireless Display

2020 was defined by the unprecedented impact that COVID-19 had on everyday life. Something as normal as going to work was turned upside down as employers transitioned their workforce from a traditional office setting to working remotely from home. This posed a significant challenge to employers as collaboration became strained and dependent on existing technology infrastructure. Looking forward, 2021 and beyond will bring a type of work experience as the future of work environments shifts towards contactless hybrid structures where people adapt to co-exist with COVID-19.

COVID-19 Impact on the Work Environment

While remote work is hardly a new concept, implementing remote work technology and policies requires careful planning to be efficient for both remote employees and in-office employees. COVID-19 triggered that transition without allowing time for employers to prepare and adopt the technology that is suitable to minimize the impact on both traditional work environments and remote work. In a 2020 study of the work environment from Dimensional Research, nearly every employee expressed concern about returning to work and are especially concerned about common touch points within the office, such as shared office devices. This transition to a remote work from home structure also revealed significant pain points in existing office technology surrounding virtual meetings. 98% of those surveyed expressed frustrations with video meetings when working from home. In addition, 96% indicate they need intelligent workplace technology to improve work environments. It’s clear from the study that changes are needed to support this blended work environment moving forward.

The New Normal

Given that COVID-19 will likely be around for years to come, now is the time for employers and enterprises to explore intelligent solutions and opportunities that improve the efficacy of hybrid work environments. For employees returning to the office, reducing touch points without negatively impacting collaboration is essential to keep employees safe and healthy. Remote employees require technology that allows for easy collaboration with in-office employees and fewer technical issues such as poor audio, background noise pollution, and video interruption. With so many unique requirements, it is easy to think that this level of digital transformation would be both costly and time consuming. That is not necessarily the case when adopting wireless display technology that integrates seamlessly with Unified Communications (UC)systems. Wireless display technology allows employers to address the pain points of both remote and in-office employees to maximize collaboration in a hybrid work environment.
