As many organizations still struggle to navigate the transition to hybrid work models, they face a multitude of challenges. From device-portability difficulties to having to pitch an idea with construction work going on in the background, we’ve all been there (and still are).
As a seasoned provider of video conferencing devices, Coolpo knows these organizational change challenges up close; as well as the ability of innovative video conferencing solutions to help bridge the gap and empower both remote and in-office employees.
In my chat with Girlen Milleza, Coolpo’s Director of Product Strategy and Customer Success, we explored key hybrid work challenges faced by companies and how video conferencing devices can address them effectively.
Organizational Challenges in Hybrid Work
Here are some of the most prominent challenges organizations (and their employees) are facing as they continue to adjust:
- Balancing Multiple Devices: In the current hybrid work landscape, employees often find themselves juggling various devices, depending on their location. Constantly moving between the home and the office often requires different tools for each setting.
“The best way to deal with this issue is by using a portable video conferencing device that fits both the home and office environments and offers an angle range that can cater to both small and large spaces ” Milleza notes.
“This allows hybrid employees – individuals and groups alike – to use the same device wherever they go, ensuring consistent and efficient communication across different workspaces.” - Maintaining Focus in Dynamic Environments: For remote participants joining meetings from public spaces like coffee shops or co-working spaces, background distractions can be a significant hindrance. The most effective way to tackle this issue is using video conferencing devices with AI-based features that eliminate or minimize distractions.
“Some devices come equipped with advanced AI features, including background noise blur functions and intelligent focus for individual framing,” Milleza explains.
“This automatically highlights the individual speaker, even in busy surroundings, which means you can present a product even in otherwise uncomfortable circumstances.” - Noise Suppression and Background Noise Cancellation: Background noise during virtual meetings can be disruptive and compromise effective communication. Here, too, we can leverage the power of AI to suppress and eliminate unwanted noise.
“This enables individuals to participate in meetings from any location, including a home full of kids or a busy street, without worrying about disturbances,” Milleza says.
“Providing a more comfortable and distraction-free space empowers remote participants to engage fully in hybrid work scenarios.”
