According to Kinly’s Trusted Connections 2024 report poor hybrid workflows (57%) and outdated AV technologies (58%) are damaging the productivity of hybrid teams.
This revealed that two thirds of enterprises believe their hybrid offices are still not fit for purpose despite calling workers back.
To address this investments into hybrid technology are being prioritised with 35% of respondents saying they will be investing in remote support/management, 33% in UC&C software and 33% in in-office hybrid meeting rooms.
Information gaps remain an issue in adopting hybrid working and a third (33%) of respondents are already investing in an analytics platform for remote working and a further third (29%) are investing in ‘in office’ analytics platforms.
Simon Watson, Kinly’s Head of Innovation said: “Effective hybrid working relies on having the right technology in place at home and in the office, and most importantly making sure all these technologies work together seamlessly to give employees the same experience no matter where they work.
“If employers are going to adapt to this shift in corporate culture and ensure that workers are happy and effective, both at home and in the office, it all starts with AV technology.”
Kinly found that enterprises that have undergone an AV transformation project within the last year have reported a 42% increase in productivity, a 42% increase in efficiency and a 37% increase in staff retention.
