Combined with the right videoconferencing web cams and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poly.com\/us\/en\/products\/headsets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professional grade headsets<\/a><\/span>, these cloud-based platforms provide for seamless collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>As many organizations and individuals alike plan for their \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/connect.poly.com\/Hybrid-Working-Creating-the-Next-Normal-in-Work-Practices-Spaces-and-Culture--EN-854399.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">next normal<\/a><\/span>\u201d, the decisions made regarding work environments moving forward must be made in conjunction with one another.

Working from home for the foreseeable future? Or, a hybrid approach of splitting time between in-office and home? If any time is spent working from home, it is important that you and your organization are confident and comfortable that the right tools and practices are in place to ensure successful remote collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Poly, we understand that many individuals and organizations are still looking for guidance and we are here to help you.
