The way Australians work has fundamentally changed and it’s not going back.
With 69% of employers now offering hybrid work arrangements and over 50% of employees working remotely at least part of the time, flexible work has become the norm, not the exception. At the same time, more than 80% of organisations expect hybrid work to remain or increase, reinforcing that this is a long-term shift, not a temporary phase.
This evolution is reshaping the role of the office and more importantly, the role of technology within it.
The rise of smarter meeting rooms
As teams split their time between home and office, the traditional meeting room is no longer fit for purpose.
In fact, 62% of Australian businesses are actively redesigning their offices with advanced video conferencing and smart meeting room technology to better support hybrid collaboration.
Why? Because collaboration is now happening across locations, time zones, and devices, and poor meeting experiences are one of the biggest barriers to productivity.
Today’s meeting spaces need to deliver seamless video and audio experiences, support equal participation for in-room and remote attendees, integrate natively with collaboration platforms, and be simple enough for anyone to use without IT support.
