Future of Hybrid Work 2024 - Insights from Jabra

In the ever-evolving world of technology, staying informed is crucial, especially for tech managers. That's where the avtechnology Newsletter comes in, offering a daily selection of features, industry news, and analysis tailored to help managers navigate various technology sectors.

The newsletter is a treasure trove of insights, featuring 28 thought leaders in Visualization Technologies, Next-Gen Audio, Esports, Streaming Technologies, and more. One such thought leader is Paul Sephton, the Head of Brand Communications at Jabra.

As we look towards 2024, four trends are expected to shape hybrid work culture, space planning, and technology. Unfortunately, the specifics of these trends, as predicted by 28 thought leaders in the AV industry, are not yet available in the provided search results. However, it is clear that establishing technologies that support collaboration while maintaining employee flexibility will be key.

The newsletter also includes a section on 15 Manufacturers, providing a comprehensive view of the industry's leading players. It's no secret that flexibility is non-negotiable for any organization working with Gen Z and millennials, who together make up 38 percent of the current workforce. In fact, 89 percent of Gen Z work at jobs that allow them to choose their own schedules, a testament to their desire for autonomy.

However, this flexibility comes with its challenges. A large percentage of Gen Z employees feel burnt out and consider changing jobs in the next year. To attract and retain talent, adopting a flexible work style is necessary. Interestingly, one in three Gen Z employees find face time with their peers a key factor in feeling connected, even when conducted over video.

Unified communications platforms will help optimize the management of a hybrid workforce, fostering collaboration and maintaining a sense of community. Establishing these technologies can help create stronger collaboration environments without sacrificing any employee flexibility.

In conclusion, the avtechnology Newsletter serves as a valuable resource for tech managers, offering insights on a variety of technology topics and connecting them with thought leaders in the industry. As we move towards 2024, it will be interesting to see how these trends in hybrid work culture, space planning, and technology unfold.
