The modern office is in crisis. Gallup research reveals that 60% of employees with remote-capable jobs prefer a hybrid schedule, with another third opting for fully remote work. This means less than 10% actually want to be in the office full-time.

So, how do you make the office worth the commute? The answer lies in using technology to create a dynamic, purpose-driven environment that goes beyond the limitations of traditional workspaces.

The problem

Traditional office spaces often fall short. Appspace research reveals that 73% of fully in-office and hybrid say their employer could do more to improve in-office experiences.

Many offices are stuck in the past with outdated technology, boring displays, and systems that don't work together. This makes it hard for employees to be productive and engaged. IT and AV teams need to: 

Connect everyone: Make sure in-office and remote employees can easily connect and work together.

Create a buzz: Build a workplace that people actually want to be in – with cool technology and spaces that encourage teamwork.

Make it easy: Use technology that's easy to manage, saves resources, and keeps everything secure.

Tech to the rescue

The right technology can turn the office into a place where people want to be. 

Here's how IT and AV teams can make it happen:

• Digital displays that pop: Get rid of those boring old displays. Use platforms like Appspace on ChromeOS to share eye-catching messages, interactive content, and keep everyone in the loop.
• Meeting rooms that work: Set up meeting rooms with tech that works without friction for both in-person and remote participants. Think easy-to-use video conferencing and collaboration tools.
• Smart office features: Use tech to make the office work smarter, not harder. This includes things like easy room booking, automatic lighting, and temperature control.
• Simple and user-friendly: Choose technology that's easy for everyone to use, so employees can do what they need to without always asking for IT help.
• Top-notch security: Make sure the office tech is secure and protects important information. ChromeOS is a great option because it has strong security built-in.
