The way we work is constantly evolving and the rapid development of communication technology has helped to enable this. The idea of a traditional 9-5 workplace has changed forever, sitting at a desk is becoming less of the ‘norm’, and the next generation of workers want flexibility and mobility.
Can your business support today's different working styles?
The on-the-road worker
Whatever it is that keeps them on the road, these workers need to stay connected and enjoy rich audio and video experiences wherever they're working - be that on-site, in the car, whilst commuting or in a hotel lobby. They need devices that are easily portable and sometimes need to be discreet. They must be reliable, have all-day battery life and let you hear and be heard - even in busy public spaces.
The multiple office worker
Whatever office they're working from, it's probably noisy! Hot-desks, landing zones, huddle spaces and open plan offices all encourage collaboration, but they also increase noise levels and distraction. Office workers need super-secure devices that cut through all this, allowing 100% immersion in their own voice and video interactions and maximum productivity. Easy docking solutions on desks, plus huddle spaces for quick meetings are a must.
The home worker
Whatever their reasons for working from home, this employee needs to look, hear and sound like they're in the room. With a fast, secure and reliable internet connection and just a few well chosen devices and accessories, the home worker can achieve big things from the smallest of home office spaces.
Solutions to support different working styles
No matter where you're working there is a solution to ensure you can stay connected and collaborate no matter where you are.
Headsets
With all the flexibility today’s workers have in the way they work, headsets must enable them to complete their day to day tasks without the distractions that come with working on the go in public areas.
With a complete all in one device employees can collaborate and communicate in a variety of different ways, with the power to share documents, voice and video call and chat on Teams.

A VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system is the modern way to communicate. It gives you everything a traditional phone system does but with one crucial difference: it's hosted in the cloud. And that means you spend less money on hardware and maintenance.
A cloud-based phone system also gives you much more flexibility because you can take and manage calls not just from your desk phone, but from your computer and your mobile. So you can use all of the features of the office system wherever you are. With VoIP, you'll never miss an important call again.
