What’s the best tech to invest in now for the return to office or for remote work? How is the modern workplace changing and how can I adapt to be successful?

As our last guest, talent adviser Steve Cadigan, had put it, the great career migration is happening now with more and more people remote working, hybrid working, or returning to the office. The landscape of work and collaboration has changed for everyone since the past year, and it is crucial that you're future-ready. To succeed in the current hybrid work environment, you need the right tools on your desk whether at home or at the office.

Once again, joining us on our #WhatTheTeck future of work podcast is Sam Kennedy, Chief Product Evangelist of Poly to break down remote work trends in today's evolving workplace. He’ll be giving you tips to make your return to office strategy or general remote work more successful! We'll also discuss the various collaboration tools for remote teams like the Poly Studio E70 Camera and the Poly Sync speakerphone series – the Poly Sync 40, and Poly Sync 60!

What defines modern workplace? Open minds.

The future of work from home is bright because our leaders have learned to accept its importance. If we want the return to office to prosper as well, we have to have an open mind and welcome all sorts of ideas, trends or not.

One trend that has contributed to much success of remote work are video conferencing equipment like bluetooth speakerphones and bluetooth headsets. These have vastly enhanced communications for everyone. The highest quality devices make every call sound as if you were speaking in one space.

Speaking of such gadgets, the Poly Studio E70 is at the top of the list of high-quality work webcams. In our webcam review in the video above that it’s equipped with two HD cameras – one for narrow view (good for focusing solely on you), and the other, a wide angle view to cover the conference room. This feature makes it the ideal webcam for work meetings!

Another great device for both personal and video conferences is the Poly Sync 60. Compared to the Poly Sync 40, the Sync 40 has a battery that lasts up to 30 hours of usage. The Poly Sync 60 needs to be plugged in but its mic reaches up to 3 meters and is perfect for small to medium conferences! And just like its predecessor, it too has bluetooth capabilities! Both are valuable productivity tools for business!

The technology we’re offering you now will never replace actual meetings. Instead, we provide them to complement the communication aspect of it, thus bringing more value to the working environment. We've learned how to balance work and family during this period of remote work. It’s important to be equipped with the right devices and the right mindset.

Did you know that Poly is the new name for Plantronics? Actually, it is the result of a merger between Plantronics and Polycom in July 2018. You will find nearly all of the Plantronics headsets, webcams, and phones are now branded with the Poly name on it rather than Polycom, PLT, or Plantronics headset brands on the product.
