The new wave of future workers is coming, are you prepared? With more people working both from home and office, creating a flexible hybrid work environment has become the key to success. Let’s look at a few common challenges and how you can cope with them easily!
Challenge 1: Disconnection Between On-site and Remote Workers
With staff working in different places, employees can feel disconnected from each other. Therefore you need the right equipment to bring them together and stay connected.
Solution: Efficient collaboration devices
Provide tools that can help them stay connected with the team at all times no matter where they work, including:
Collaboration platforms such as instant chats, call recording, etc
Challenge 2: Too Much Distraction from Noise and Human Interruptions
With more employees working from home or even on the go, having a solution that helps reduce distractions is more important than ever.
Solution: Devices with Noise Cancelling Technology & Do Not Disturb Features
Make sure your employees have collaboration devices with noise cancelling technology! There are many headsets available on the market with HD speaker performance and noise cancelling microphone. Here are a few options:
You should also enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your phones to reduce human interruptions.
Challenge 3: Workers Shifting from Different Space and Locations
Empowering your workers in different locations is not an easy task; however these wireless devices below will make it easier to build a flexible working environment!
Do you have a larger room or office that is in need of wider radio coverage? Great news! Yealink’s W59R handsets are equipped with a repeater mode that can extend your radio coverage of the base station. This feature will give you greater freedom of mobility in large dwellings.
How does it work? All you need to do is to enable the repeater mode and make sure a repeater is registered to your base station. Then all handsets registered to that base station can be used either within the range of the base station or the repeater.
Note that the repeater mode and eco mode+ features cannot be used at the same time.
How to Set Up the Repeater Mode on Yealink’s W59R Ruggedized Handsets
Simply follow these steps to set up the repeater mode:
1. Go to OK > Settings > System Settings > Repeater Mode.
2. Select a desired repeater and press OK.
The handset prompts whether to reboot this base station.
3. Confirm the action.
The base station reboots to make the change take effect. The change is applied to all the handset registered to the base station.
