Hybrid Working is the New Collaboration Imperative Says Poly

Poly (formerly Plantronics and Polycom), the global communications and collaboration company, published a new interesting report that highlights a granular shift in focus from “place” to “purpose” of work as businesses respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, redesign their operations and reinvent the way they work. Out of city co-working spaces, ergonomic at-home work setups and virtual water cooler moments – the effects of this pandemic will epitomize a new age of hybrid working, Poly concludes.

Following the acquisition of Polycom, confirmed in July 2018, Plantronics, announced that the company will transform into Poly, a technology company focused on the human experience of communications and collaboration, aiming to make communication as rich and natural as in-person. Poly aims to be the solution of choice whenever and wherever collaboration clouds reach people. To connect people, not things, the company motto says.
