Poly: People, technology, and spaces will be the key to successful RTO setups

Poly believes that with the changes in the post-pandemic setting to make returning to office work, three key elements need to work together namely people, technology, and spaces.

Hybrid working is here to stay and will become a more commonplace practice, but many businesses are still learning how to implement this new model successfully in the middle of ongoing issues with going back to the office.

We've heard a lot about what businesses should do when developing their plans for the new world of work, including how to reinvent the office environment, what technology to use, and how to change the nature of work for employees.

The three key elements for a successful RTO setup are people, technology, and spaces. People are the most important for companies. The employees will be the ones to turn the cogs for the company and with them happy with the setup, productivity will be at a high.

Technology will drive how effectively the employees do their tasks. The capacity to identify the best technological solutions that can enable both productive and efficient work across various places, wherever those spaces may be, depends on properly characterizing the needs and work preferences of employees.

Understanding the most common work habits of the workforce will help the business better design experiences across locations that boost engagement and innovation by removing obstacles and enabling frictionless transitions from the home office to other areas of the workplace, or wherever in between.

Defining requirements based on space is drastically different from this people-focused approach. Understanding the people who execute it is therefore the greatest method to plan for the future of work. The 6 unique workstyles, also known as personas, that make up 97 percent of a normal enterprise and each have various personality features have been identified by Poly after analyzing the evolution of workstyles for almost ten years. 

Businesses are better equipped to match workstyles and employee behaviors to devices and technology, enhancing organizational efficiency. This is done by identifying the qualities, pain areas, and communication preferences associated with each persona.
