The need for businesses to promote a healthy work environment and structure has completely changed since the beginning of the pandemic. Many organizations have modified their work model to accommodate employees working from home. As the work environment evolved toward a “hybrid workplace,” video conferencing technology became a must for organizations that embrace the model and resultant elevated interactive culture. Going forward, we can expect businesses to look for the optimal hybrid work strategy to support business growth and engage teams across multiple channels.
Hybrid video conferences
In the hybrid work model, organizations integrate in-office and remote work practices to provide flexibility and support to their employees. The bridge connecting the onsite and offsite personnel is a hybrid meeting or conference.
As communication and collaboration play a significant part in sustaining and improving productivity, organizations should opt for tools powered by cutting-edge technologies like AI-powered video conferencing solutions and platforms. These tools facilitate transferring files and data and enable multi-channel communication networks that allow peers, teams, and clients to connect and collaborate in new profound ways.
Is Hybrid the inevitable?
Pre-2020, one in four work meetings had already moved to hybrid. Post-2020, hybrid meetings have more than doubled, with indicators suggesting further movement in the same direction. Given this climate, today’s organizations smartly invest in the right people and technology to optimize their communications, workflow, and overall productivity.
A hybrid work culture paired with a high-quality video conferencing solution can significantly increase productivity in the post-pandemic era. Video conferencing plays a key role as it:
Promotes flexibility – Video conferencing powered with advanced AI capabilities enables the organization and its employees to achieve higher transparency, job comfort, and employee satisfaction. A flexible work environment supporting strong collaboration increases throughput and streamlines decision-making.
Enhances productivity with optimized employee interactions – Generally, the participants connect from different locations with hybrid workspaces. Such meetings’ beginning and end times are predetermined and allow participants to organize their thoughts and agenda items in advance to foster more efficient and relevant conversations. Additionally, during the video conference, participants are more likely to be more thoughtful and focused on the ongoing discussions when compared to other communication channels.
Offers smooth and effective communication – Video conferencing solutions mitigate the possibility of misunderstanding a message as all the participants can interpret body language and facial expressions. The conferences also feature new-age functionality that ensures smooth and effective communication, like digital whiteboards, PowerPoint presentations, meeting recordings, built-in charts, and content sharing capabilities to ensure high levels of communication.
Setting up a hybrid video conferencing meeting is an easy task that involves choosing the right platform that meets the organization’s needs, testing the hardware equipment and software in advance, and finally scheduling the participants for the first meeting.
