Nearly 75% of organizations8 plan to shift some employees to remote work permanently, according to recent Gartner research. Once the pandemic is over, according to Global Workplace Analytics, 30% of the entire workforce worldwide9 will work from home at least a few days a week.
Remote work continues to dominate the business landscape, but without the proper tools, workers are less efficient, productivity slows, and security is compromised. The frustrations of unreliable connections, an inability to connect, or being dropped mid-call leads some remote team members to “go rogue,” cobbling together a collection of file-sharing and collaboration tools that may or may not be secure.
In addition to needing digital tools that allow teams to work well, organizations also need tools that allow them to work well together. Today’s workforce spends 80% of its time in meetings, phone calls, and emails.10 Integrated technologies like smarter collaboration tools, improved conferencing platforms, and more reliable calling resources empower teams to collaborate efficiently while equipping individuals to contribute where they’re most productive.
