A new era of work- hybrid work
We are entering a new era of work – hybrid work. More than half of all employees will work 8 or more days each month from home. 98% of meetings will now have at least one employee attending remotely from home.[i]
However, with hybrid work, people are going to use more and more apps. Knowledge workers already use 30+ apps a day. Context switching between apps is a significant stumbling block. 51% report that switching between apps makes it harder for them to get essential work done and 68% say they spend at least 30 minutes a day just toggling between workplace apps.[ii] So, your collaboration solution for hybrid work must be flexible, inclusive, supportive, secure and managed.
Webex integrations
Webex helps you to embed collaboration in every workflow so that you can work from one place without context switching. Webex works with an extensive ecosystem of partners to provide a collaboration solution that is flexible to adapt to any use case, role and environment, when and where you need.
