Enhance Collaboration with Today’s Video Conferencing Solutions

Discover the Potential in the In-Demand Huddle Space

While still unclear exactly where it’s landing, it’s certain that, in some form, the hybrid workforce is here to stay. A survey by Boston Consulting Group found that, at the beginning of 2023, just over 50% of companies in the U.S. offered flexible work schedules. By November, that number rose to over 60%. 

Some companies are still pushing for a traditional five-day, in-office work week, citing better collaboration and increased productivity among staff. Others note increased employee retention, enhanced innovation, and reduced travel costs as reasons they offer flexibility. They’re also attracting top talent, a critical component in some industries.

So, how can businesses in Indianapolis, IN, support their changing workforce while maintaining or enhancing their company’s culture? The answer lies in creating spaces that encourage collaboration and improve productivity. For many, that translates to huddle rooms with video conferencing solutions.

The Huddle Space Defined

The huddle space is designed for up to six in-person participants. These spaces provide the technology that ensures collaboration between in-person and off-site staff, such as screen-sharing capabilities and presentation tools. Almost any area can become a huddle room, enabling businesses to take advantage of their unused spaces.

These rooms are made available as needed and, while used for virtual meetings with remote employees or clients, they’re also beneficial for flexible in-office meetings and quiet spaces for individuals to complete projects. As more companies embrace open floor plans and do away with impersonal cubicles, huddle rooms are becoming part of the modern work environment.

Technology Designed for Collaboration

Some common pain points associated with remote meetings include connectivity issues that cause delays, inability to share content, lack of engagement, and incompatibility. To resolve these issues, make the most of these spaces, and to set your staff up for success requires the following video conferencing solutions: 

• 4K UHD Display: These displays offer clear pictures and complete visibility for remote participants. Two displays offer one to view participants and the other for sharing content.
• Smart Conferencing Camera: This camera captures and tracks the speaker, enabling all attendees to see their expressions and body language, which are critical communication guideposts. When no one is speaking, it zooms out and frames the entire group.
• Beamforming Microphone: These microphones detect the speaker and help guide the camera. They also provide crystal-clear audio and reduce ambient noise.
• Architectural Speakers: High-quality speakers ensure everyone can hear each other clearly, saving time and reducing frustration. Architectural speakers provide a clean, uncluttered, professional look.
• Digital Whiteboard: This critical collaboration tool enables team members to collaborate by sharing documents, drawing, writing, and adding video clips.
• Room Controller: These enable one-touch connections, instantly starting up meetings. In larger rooms, they also offer commercial automation, integrating the control of lighting and shades.
