Changing mentality is not easy, especially when we are talking about working models that have existed for years. The pandemic accelerated this process, and others are already talking hybrid work In many cases, this is the new normal for businesses. However, this situation must be accompanied by an environmental design strategy. A strategy that creates a common, ergonomic and efficient space.

The end of the culture of in-personism is already here. It’s true that many jobs require a constant human presence, and that won’t change. However, many others are already combining in-person with virtual to create a hybrid workspace.

In this context, companies have been facing the challenge for some time: design a workplace for these new models. Create an office that accommodates workers who come and go, and gives them the ability to perform their functions from anywhere with the same experience.

And as partners, we face situations where the problem of team dysfunction, reduced employee motivation, or directly worsened business results comes from poor planning in the design of the work environment.

So let’s take a look at how we can help design a hybrid workplace. Create an environment where collaboration, innovation and efficiency prevail. And for that we will need innovative technology, strategy and valuable services.

Collaborative office

We’ll start with the most common work environment of an organization: the office. A place that for many organizations has not changed for years and can be the first step.

In this sense, we start by understanding that workers will no longer be in the office 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. These employees seek flexibility as their first motivation, and this also affects their hybrid workplace.

Offices can therefore be thought of as dynamic spaces for common use, where there are no established places, but there are spaces prepared for different needs. From small rooms for virtual meetings to one or larger rooms for hybrid meetings. In the middle, the workplace is ready to work and collaborate in equal measure.

What must be different to win a hybrid contract is the technology. Unified tools that primarily enable collaboration and teamwork. But at the same time, make the user experience unique, regardless of the work environment. In addition, it must be easy to use and adaptable to any need.

A good example of this office is the LG Business Solutions recreation that we can see in the picture. In it, we can see from the TV that plays a presentation with webOS and is shared from LG One Quick Share to a video collaboration screen like the LG OneQuick Flex, with which online meetings can be held.

Adaptation outside the office

However, the office is not the only place where a hybrid workplace can be designed. The next step, and perhaps the most important, is to look outside those offices and understand the reality and needs of each worker in their role.

Perhaps this is the trickiest step to understand because it is less visible by organizations. However, it is equally important or more important to ensure that employees are equally productive and efficient.

At home, in the mountains or on a trip, employees must continue to be able to perform their daily tasks safely, efficiently and with quality. Depending on your hybrid workplace, we should prioritize mobility with equipment such as the LG Gram, or focus more on enriching your workspace with monitors or versatile equipment.

When understanding the workplace outside the office, we need to focus on a basic concept: ergonomics. To achieve this goal, we can use a range of monitors such as the LG Ergo, fully adjustable according to the physiognomy of each worker. An aspect that will result in your health and motivation when it comes to working at home.

All in one

The last point tries to connect all workspaces unified user experience. This same experience across all areas should be the ultimate goal of organizations when designing hybrid strategies.

Regardless of the hybrid workplace, thinking about providing a complete answer should be a priority. Regardless of location, employees will need to have the same tools to enable them to complete their tasks.

To achieve this, as partners, it makes the most sense to bet on technology that “speaks the same language” and offers a complete proposal. Technologies that can integrate with each other to create an end-to-end seamless experience, ready for digital challenges.
