Tech tips to smooth the return to office
By Simon Scott-Martin
As people start to head into the office more often, here’s what CIOs and workplace leaders should be focusing to make sure technology enables the transition.
1. A welcome that wows
Make a strong first impression so that your staff feel the buzz when they step through the door. Use reception screens, video walls, and digital signage to communicate your brand and help them feel connected to the space.
2. Wi-Fi first, always
Invest in high-speed, building-wide Wi-Fi and eradicate dead spots. Support how your people multi-task so that all their devices - phones, laptops, tablets - work seamlessly and concurrently.
3. Meeting rooms that work
Video conferencing will continue to be popular so be ready for it. Equip every room with reliable and user-friendly AV: screens, cameras, mics and speakers.
4. Power-up your flexible spaces
Collaboration happens everywhere. Make power accessible, include charging points at soft seating and USB access at desks.
5. Simplify workstations
Standardise desk setups with plug-and-play simplicity: large monitors, single cable connections and universal charging. Provide noise-cancelling headsets for video calls and consider acoustic treatments to reduce noise bleed and echo.
Ultimately, the goal is to provide efficient, adaptable workspaces that enhance collaboration and support productivity, By upgrading technology and removing friction you can re-energise the workplace to create spaces that are worth the commute.
