If you haven’t heard the phrase “hybrid work” yet, you must be living under a rock with no WiFi connection. The growing trend of allowing employees a more flexible work schedule continues to gain traction, as the pandemic is still very much in the picture for everyday citizens. Fortunately, many businesses have risen to the occasion, providing digital tools and online resources to ease the transition from office living to working from home, and Google Workspace represents one of the best. With 77% of companies at least somewhat concerned about what employees want out of hybrid work, tools like Google Workspace continue to innovate in pursuit of the perfection solution. But what kind of features did the platform actually add?
Spaces
According to Google, Spaces “are the central place for team collaboration in Workspace,” providing a simply way to stay connected, no matter where your team is logging in from. Even better, Spaces will allow for improved security, encrypting the content found within the platform and allowing for content moderation rules that will keep communication healthy and effective for your whole team. Additionally, Google has partnered with Avocor to bring some third-party video conferencing hardware options to its users. From interactive displays and video camera technology to mobile optimizing hardware that lets you start a meeting right from your phone, these tools are designed to keep remote works and in-office staff connected all day. That’s where tools like Google Workspace are so valuable. They make it easy to accommodate your remote employees without isolating them from your company culture. Plus, with productivity at the core of each platform, you’ll be able to provide the flexible schedule that top-tier employees want, while maintaining mental health and efficiency throughout the pandemic. You have to have the right tools though. From project management software and CRM platforms to password managers and VPNs, you’ll want to be sure that you have all your bases covered to avoid any hiccups.
