The pandemic has changed the way we live and work, and while many will return to the office, things will most likely never return to what we regarded as the pre-pandemic standard of normal.

After the pandemic, the acceleration of digital technology has shown that classrooms and lecture theatres need no longer be bound by physical walls, and can become a much more flexible environment. The education sector can benefit from the outcomes of using the right technology, to further the relationship between teacher and student even in a digital space.

As widely reported, COVID-19 has forced organisations into speeding up their digital transformation projects in order to accommodate the abrupt change in working habits created by the pandemic. It’s clear that the more traditional ways of working have now given way to a rise in video conferencing and a significant shift to a hybrid workplace. While some businesses have been used to this model through flexible working approaches, for many organisations this is a newer concept.

As businesses across the world begin to adapt to a hybrid working environment, it’s key that the right technology and devices are put in place to ensure teams can communicate effectively, regardless of location.

As much of the world has become accustomed to working from home for the last 12 months, it has been crucial for businesses to remain agile and resilient when it comes to productivity and day-to-day operations. Video conferencing and online collaboration have quickly become the norm, with organizations of all sizes across all sectors quickly deploying new collaboration technology or building on existing technology. Thus ensuring communication channels remain open and cater for both the small minority still in the physical workplace (particularly in certain job roles and sectors) and the vast majority working remotely.

Businesses across the world are discovering the benefits of a hybrid office environment, with workforces set to favour a balance of in-office and remote working.
