Despite the fact that 73% of offices across the USA and Western Europe are now open, only 9% of the workforce commutes to their office full-time. For this reason, among many other change shifts brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, executives must recognize the importance of investing in devices designed for hybrid work.
With so many professionals opting to work remotely and fewer physical people onsite at a company every day, businesses should be mindful about how they’re using the space. What are you investing in? Are you investing in tools that both hybrid and onsite employees can utilize?
Some companies are investing in devices designed for hybrid work, like:
- Desk-scheduling applications
- Data-driven procedures and practices
- AR/VR headsets
Businesses are also beginning to confront new investments in technology, like the metaverse and the increase of augmented, virtual reality (VR), Web3, and IoT.
