These spaces often feature hotdesking policies and breakout areas, all of which are designed to promote discussion, idea-sharing and collaboration between workers. They’ll usually also provide secluded spaces for quiet time and concentration, which is essential for encouraging individual productivity.
However, to be able to make the most of their office environment and a dispersed workforce, organisations need to provide the right work collaboration tools for each type of meeting space. For instance, busy breakout areas will need portable video conferencing solutions that can cancel out distracting noises. Similarly video enabled smaller huddle spaces will need more specialized cameras that offer a wide field of view and integrated audio, allowing everyone to be seen and heard.
