Get the mix
right for the best of both worlds
Allowing employees to mix working in the offi ce with working at home may be the way forward - but as well as good collaboration tools, fast and reliable connectivity will be needed to ensure maximum productivity. Many of us have got used to working at home
over the last 18 months, but we have also missed the buzz of interacting with colleagues in the offi ce, and some people are now going back to the offi ce for at least one or two days a week, just to get that experience of being with other people. T is apparent dichotomy was borne out by a
recent survey compiled by Microsoft. T e Work Trend Index 2021 report discovered that while 73% of workers want the fl exibility to work at home or in the offi ce, 67% want to go back to having more in-person teamwork and collaboration. In other words, they want the best of both worlds.
T ey want to be able to work at home whenever they can and go into the offi ce to experience the personal interaction and engagement when that’s what is needed.
Here to stay At Boxx, the view is that hybrid or blended working is here to stay. We see this as a positive development, and we have switched to a fully hybrid working model. Staff can work at home or in the offi ce as much as they wish to. Most of our customers are doing the same. T at’s making fast, reliable connectivity even
more important. Video conferencing is essential to hybrid working and we all want the very best and most consistent experiences when we connect and collaborate with colleagues, partners, customers, and suppliers. This is increasing demand for high-speed,
full fibre connectivity. It’s also driving uptake of Ethernet leased line services, which give a guaranteed bandwidth and high performance in both directions (which is needed for video). More customers are also asking about VoIP options as this is a certain route to ensure contact with employees wherever they are working.
Practising what we preach We’ve always tried to practise what we preach so, when the lockdown came and we were compelled to work from home, we were able to switch

seamlessly. Staff were fully available from their normal numbers and our team was able to make full use of all the features of video conferencing and collaboration tools. Whatever your current and future needs – for connectivity and
for VoIP – boxx can help you to fi nd the right solutions.
