Ever since their widespread adoption, remote and hybrid working have completely transformed our perspective on the world of work. A recent survey conducted in the UAE and Saudi Arabia revealed that more than half of employees in both countries would prefer to work in a hybrid or completely remote arrangement. The importance of video conferencing has increased as organisations rely on it as their primary means of communication. Now, by streamlining the interview process, enhancing internal communication, making meetings more accessible, and increasing productivity, video conferencing has become an indispensable asset for HR professionals seeking to create a thriving and engaged workforce.
Recruit and retain:
Not too long ago, recruitment was a cumbersome and time-consuming process for everyone involved. Employers were limited to finding candidates who lived within travelling distance of their offices or who would be willing to relocate. Equally, prospective employees would have to spend time and money getting to an interview that may not pan out.
Video conferencing enables HR professionals to interact with applicants from all over the world, perform, and evaluate their applications, conduct real-time interviews with the most suitable candidates, and conduct interviews with candidates from anywhere in the world. What’s more, with Logitech’s suite of products HR professionals working from home can turn any workspace (office, home, or hot desk) into an optimised interview space.
By using video conferencing, potential employees can integrate interviews into their days with more ease. In the current economic climate, this also allows people to save the money they would usually have to spend on transport to get to and from interviews.
Boost collaboration:
Video conferencing has made it significantly easier for organisations in hybrid work mode to communicate with their clients and employees, having a positive effect on inter-departmental and inter-team collaboration. Logitech’s survey found that 77 per cent of UAE and 75 per cent of Saudi Arabia white-collar workers feel that hybrid meetings are more engaging when video conferencing systems with high-quality audio and video output are used. By incorporating Logitech video conferencing solutions into a company’s hardware infrastructure, firms are not only taking steps to maximise their productivity and collaboration but also ensuring that their equipment is guarded by some of the best security protocols on the market.
As the global competition for talent becomes fiercer, video conferencing has become an essential tool in attracting and retaining talent. Investing in premium equipment is the most effective way to give organisations a competitive edge.
