By now we all know that the new normal is here to stay. 78% of UK workers have stated that working from home gives them an improved work life balance, and more than a third go so far as to say they would quit their jobs should they be asked to return to the office full time.
Hybrid work is no longer a compromise in unprecedented circumstances; it's the norm. Yet it doesn’t come without certain challenges. We’ve all been in messy meetings, "You’re on mute” has entered our daily vocabulary, and frozen screens and technical issues have slowed us down.
In order to thrive in a hybrid world, businesses need the right technology to facilitate undisrupted and seamless meetings, even in the era of the digital workplace. This is where Microsoft Teams Rooms comes in! Teams Rooms offers superior conferencing capabilities by bringing HD video, audio and inclusive content sharing to meetings of all sizes.
