Working from home is now a reality instead of a potential scenario for many of us this week. With no solid timescale as to when we will get back to normality we need to make our temporary home offices as comfortable and user friendly as possible. That means having access to the tools and technologies that we are used to in work so that we can continue to do our jobs with little disruption.
Here we have provided some of the most useful headsets, computer cameras and monitors that will allow you to conduct business as usual as much as possible.
Headsets:
There are two main brands of headsets that we believe promote the highest quality sound and comfort for users. These are Jabra and Plantronic (Poly) headsets.
Both options bring valuable benefits with wired and wireless headsets available with multiple features.
Jabra
Jabra headsets allow your coworkers to keep their hands free, so they can type, file and focus while on the phone increasing their productivity.
Jabra wireless headsets lets your coworkers work, walk and talk up to 450 feet from their desk, so customers are never put on hold.
Whether you’re a start-up, small business or an established enterprise you need access to the right tools to be fast, flexible and efficient so you can develop your business and increase customer loyalty.
Jabra headsets and speakerphones also work out of the box with over 10,000 traditional desk phones. You can now also enjoy all the benefits of communication when you make and take internet-based calls as Jabra headsets are future-proof and compatible with all softphone and web clients, from Skype to Business to Microsoft Teams to Mitel.
Providing excellent customer service starts with reliability. Jabra call center headsets are simple to use no matter how you’ve set up your home office.
All headsets are compatible with the following brands of of desk phones.
Plantronics/Poly
Plantronics (now known as Poly) offers business and personal headsets and audio solutions that deliver superior sound, style, and comfort. Here are some of our favourite options for working from home along with their key features and benefits.
The office is changing with many companies moving to open office plans as well as many staff members becoming full time virtual employees . This brings more collaboration but also more noise and possible distractions. Plantronics headsets are designed specifically to eliminate distractions as much as possible. Whether you choose to go for the wired or wireless options all headsets have a sleek, modern design. Workers want to wear it—so your investment pays off. Not only that, it sounds as good as it looks, with high-quality audio you’ve come to expect from Poly.
Some of the top features offed by these headsets include:
Smart sensor technology: Experience smart sensor technology that lets you answer a call by simply putting on the headset, making it the most productive and versatile corded headset on the market.
Keep distractions at bay: Active Noise Canceling (ANC) technology reverses surrounding sound waves to cancel low frequency noise in order to isolate and minimize ambient noise, providing truly immersive audio that allows you to focus on what matters. Close out the noise, stay in the zone.is great for keeping you focused in noisy office environments. Certain headphones feature Active Noise Canceling technology, noise-canceling mics, and hi-fi stereo performance, helping to minimize external noises while ensuring that PC-based calls and multimedia come through crystal clear. This means that distractions go down and productivity goes up, it’s a win-win!
Monitors:
The leader in curved monitors. Samsung has led the curved monitor market since being the first to introduce the innovative displays to the world in 2015. With industry-leading technology in a full line-up, Samsung’s curved monitors are consistently number one in market share and consumer choice. With 4x more pixels than Full HD, UHD fits more content on the screen and resolves images in finer detail. That means you can view documents and web pages with less scrolling, work with multiple windows more comfortably, and see more detail in your photos, videos and games (not that you’ll be playing games on work time!).
These monitors curved display means that your eyes maintain a constant focus distance from the screen. This reduces the constant focus shifts your eyes make when viewing a flat screen, resulting in less eye fatigue and more comfortable viewing over extended periods.
These monitors come in the following sizes: 27″, 32″, 34″, 43″ and 49″.
Investing in the appropriate audio visual conferencing equipment for your company could be the answer to increased productivity and communications among your workforce.
