Even before the pandemic, the nature of work was changing because the nature of business is changing. Low-friction communications technology has compressed our world and lowered the barriers to cooperation. Today a successful business is most likely to look like a network of people and technologies that together create value for the customer. These networks span the world, leveraging the power of multiple companies and many freelancers.
Inside these networks, location matters less, whether you’re working from home, a coffee shop or an office of thousands. What matters is your ability to add value, and your ability to communicate that value to partners.

The Next Normal
We can shape a new future by redefining what ‘work’ really means. Work isn’t a place, it’s what you do and this focus on outcome-based working means the hours we work, where we are located and who we meet are only relevant in pursuit of results.
Hybrid working empowers employees to work anywhere, to be mobile and connected, to collaborate and be productive. Home working and co-working spaces will rise in prominence, but even with all the benefits they bring, we’ll still see a need for a central company workspace for idea generation, collaboration and to give the workforce its sense of identity.

Creating Hybrid working practices
Rethink working patterns – Hybrid working brings flexibility on location, times and days that work is carried out. Review work-from-home policies and focus on what employees need to be productive.
Foster better collaboration – Encourage inclusive and productive work as teams become more virtual in nature. Create engaging and productive virtual workspaces using noise-cancelling and intelligent acoustic solutions in dynamic headsets and video soundbars.
Optimise investment – Prioritise investment beyond the office walls to create flexible, collaborative, technology-enabled personal workspaces everywhere.
