Hybrid collaboration

The future of the workplace is hybrid and so is the future of collaboration. Sixty-eight percent of global organizations are planning to experiment with hybrid work, allowing employees to work partly in the office and partly at home or a third place to varying degrees.

But what are the key concepts for better hybrid collaboration?
Recent research from our partner Steelcase provides key insights into how teams can collaborate successfully at a distance. These insights are helping to plan for a future in which participants in the office collaborate with connected colleagues every day using different forms of technology and powerful spaces.

If you are interested in how to implement these findings in the office or would like the full report on hybrid working, please contact us.

Equity
Despite the different locations of the participants, everyone should be integrated into meetings on an equal footing. Both connected and on-site participants should be able to move freely around the room – this can be achieved with the help of mobile furniture and displays.

More information on the technical requirements can be found in the full report.

 


Engagement
Employees need a choice of engaging and inviting settings with a pleasant, friendly ambience. This means using space and technology in a way that allows natural and inclusive interactions for on-site and connected participants.


Ease
The room design should offer virtual and analog elements that are uncomplicated to use. This requires simple and seamless transitions between different interfaces, displays and elements.
