Conduct a needs analysis
Start by reviewing the needs of your workforce then assessing current equipment for both office and remote workers. Many businesses are now considering some of the newer equipment created specifically for hybrid workers, including high-definition touch screens, high-definition voice and video for huddle rooms, room capacity dashboards, and employee locator kiosks.
Enhance screen sharing and collaboration software
Equipping your team with the online collaboration tools they need to adequately share presentations and documents will go a long way in a hybrid environment. These tools also include enhanced features like file sharing, call and screen recording, and improved collaboration with onsite and remote participants.
Invest in high-quality conference phone and audio equipment
A common challenge in hybrid meetings is being able to hear everyone equally. High-definition sound clarity and background noise reduction features are key to ensuring meeting participants are equally engaged in the conversation, no matter where they are.
Improve video equipment
Historically, there’s been a lack of inclusivity when it comes to remote employees. Some remote employees report feeling left out of conversations due to not being seen, which could have a negative impact on engagement and morale. You can upgrade your cameras and supplement video conferencing with high-quality screens and projectors, enhancing the meeting experiences by projecting your team’s video on a large screen so everyone can see who is speaking at all times.
