The Path to Hybrid Work

Times have changed. While hybrid work might have been the exception when it sprung up in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s now the norm. 

 

You’ve got some people working from home, and some from the office. Still others are working from their local coffee shop, a shared co-working space, or on-the-go. And they all need to be able to work together seamlessly.

Fortunately, delivering an optimum collaboration experience to your professionals and enabling them to successfully get work done in this hybrid environment doesn’t have to be difficult. Just follow these steps and you’ll be well on your way to hybrid work success. 

Step 1:

Get calling right

The days of having a PBX box in the server room of your main office – physically connected to phones on people’s desks – doesn’t make much sense when people aren’t in the office as much.
That’s where Webex Cloud Calling comes in. A cloud-based calling solution from a trusted industry leader, Webex Cloud Calling is a powerful VoIP phone system that keeps you connected from anywhere.
Robust cloud calling features cover all the bases with merging, call waiting, holding, forwarding, do not disturb, visual voicemail, and other essential functionality. Having a business number that rings on any device mean you never miss an important call.
When you’ve got people working from their desk and working in their car on the way to pick up their kids up from school, Webex makes it easy for everyone to be reachable wherever they are, and to keep business moving.

Step 2: 

Make meetings more effective

You’ve got calling taken care of – now it’s time to focus on meetings.

 

In the hybrid era, you’re probably not going to get 10 people in a room with a whiteboard to hash out whatever needs to get done. After all, you're going to have some people in the boardroom, some in their bedroom, and some on the other side of the globe.

No worries! Webex Meetings has got you covered. Whether scheduled ahead of time or spontaneously initiated, you can facilitate effective face-to-face meetings with your people through Webex’s engaging, interactive video conferencing solution.
Meetings delivers HD video and audio along with advanced noise removal and speech enhancement functionality that reduces distractions and interruptions. Meanwhile, gesture recognition uses simple hand gestures to express your feelings without saying a word, and automatic transcription boosts productivity by leaving the note-taking to Webex.
With powerful meeting controls, interactive polling and Q&A, and features that enable everyone to be seen, heard, and understood, Webex Meetings is engaging, intelligent, and inclusive. It’s simply the best video conferencing on the market today.

Step 3: 

Don’t forget about security

You’ve got calling and meetings taken care of, but remember: All the calling and meeting functionality in the world doesn’t matter if the product doesn’t have uncompromising security baked into it.

 

Fortunately, Webex more than delivers on this front. Webex provides end-to-end encryption, Zero Trust security, and real-time Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

Secure by design and private by default, Webex gives you extended security options, advanced privacy features, and built-in compliance options for industry and regional requirements so you can meet and collaborate securely.

Step 4:

 Deliver the right devices

Alongside powerful but inobtrusive security, providing a range of collaboration devices is also essential to orchestrating a positive hybrid work experience. Webex is leading the charge with innovative devices for every work situation. 

Do you need to bring your local and remote teams together to collaborate and co-create in a connected digital workspace?

 

Webex offers large-format touch devices for video conferencing, digital whiteboarding and team collaboration.

Don’t forget the solitary worker: Webex offers a portable desktop collaboration unit that allows you to turn wherever you are into a ready-to-connect office. Additionally, a wide range of headsets, phones, 4K Ultra HD video cameras, and other video conferencing and collaboration devices provide effortless new ways to connect with your team, share your ideas, and express yourself.

This is the strength of a truly comprehensive portfolio that takes into account not just software, but hardware and integrations, creating a seamless, end-to-end collaboration solution for customers.

Step 4:

The hybrid work model has opened up a world of exciting new opportunities. People are liberated from having to work in a single location, while gaining a better work-life balance. All the while, organizations are able to tap into the knowledge and expertise of their people, and – with the right tools – deliver seamless collaboration, regardless of location.

 

The path to successful hybrid work is a straightforward one, and the journey begins with just a few simple steps.
