As the needs of hybrid workforces continue to evolve, it’s essential that remote and mobile workers are provided with quality equipment, to do their jobs properly. However, employers have moved on from their initial enablement baseline, providing any old device for the sake of business continuity. Organisations now want to go a step further and are laser-focused on meeting equality to ensure remote workers get the same experience as their office-based colleagues.
Professional-grade equipment means workers can collaborate and communicate seamlessly; they get the work done more efficiently. But it’s not all about productivity, it also means employees can be seen and heard on an equal footing, by colleagues and customers alike. And that truly matters in today’s hybrid world of work.
The first step to delivering meeting equality is all about getting the basics right. This starts with the fundamentals of audio – if you can’t hear properly, you won’t be participating in a call effectively. So, a first action point is to move beyond in-built laptop microphones and cameras and use purpose-designed devices.
Poly has added several new devices to its portfolio that are specifically engineered and designed to deliver top-class employee experiences, from any location. The Poly Sync 10 is an entry-level, plug-and-play USB speakerphone that upgrades the home office experience. Perfect for calls and music, its two-microphone steerable array reduces surrounding noise and delivers high-quality audio. It also connects to any device and easily detects active speaker voices in a room, keeping you focused on the conversation.
