Hybrid working has become a permanent fixture for knowledge workers across various companies. Research indicates that 90% of businesses recognize the positive impact of enabling hybrid and remote work on their bottom line. However, less than half of these businesses believe their employees have access to the necessary technology to work effectively both at home and in the office.

Many hybrid workers feel that the technologies they rely on do not fully support their needs. A significant challenge is ensuring that remote participants in meetings have an experience comparable to those in the room. Research shows that a third of workers believe their firm's approach to hybrid work has led to greater silos and fragmentation of knowledge, highlighting the need for improved technology solutions.

Companies are increasingly focusing on providing the right technologies to empower employees in a hybrid work environment. For instance, organizations like Zoom and Cisco are investing in AI technologies to improve meeting experiences and foster connectivity. Additionally, research from Slack indicates that while 87% of leaders are investing in enhancing the hybrid experience, only half of employees feel these efforts are sufficient.
