The in-office experience: Why workplace technology matters more than ever

More than screens and speakers

When most people hear “AV,” they think of monitors, microphones, or a conference room setup that someone dreads touching. But modern workplace technology goes much deeper.

It’s the network of systems that make collaboration smooth, like connecting displays, audio, lighting, and control interfaces into one dependable experience. When everything works together, people don’t have to think about the tech at all.

A meeting starts on time.
Everyone can hear clearly.
No one’s fumbling with cables.

That’s the standard today. And when it’s done right, the technology simply supports the work.

Why it matters now

The way people use office space has changed. Fewer desks are occupied five days a week, but shared spaces, like meeting rooms, lounges, and all-hands areas, are busier than ever. These are the moments when teams connect, make decisions, and move projects forward.

When the technology in those spaces doesn’t work, everything stalls. A frozen screen or bad audio isn’t just a technical issue; it’s lost time, disrupted focus and a hit to credibility.

A recent JLL study found that nearly 70% of organizations plan to increase investment in collaborative technology this year, citing productivity and employee experience as top drivers. The message is clear: technology is no longer optional. It’s part of how a company communicates its standards and culture.

When the tools are reliable, people notice.

The ROI of connection

Investing in workplace technology pays off.
Forrester Research reports that companies improving meeting-room reliability see a 27% increase in meeting efficiency and a 21% boost in employee satisfaction within the first year.

It’s not about gadgets — it’s about giving people time back.
That’s a return any team can feel.

👉 Ready to reimagine your workplace? Let's talk!

When people talk about what makes a great office, they usually start with design — natural light, ergonomic furniture, maybe even the snack wall.
But the real magic of a space isn’t in what you see. It’s in how the space works.

As hybrid work becomes the norm, the office has a new purpose.
It’s not just a place to sit at a desk; it’s where people come together to connect, create, and make decisions that move things forward.

And that experience, the one that makes everyone feel in sync, depends on the technology that ties it all together.

The new baseline for productivity

In a recent Gensler U.S. Workplace Survey (2024), 73% of employees said their most productive work happens in the office — but only when the environment supports focus and collaboration.
Meanwhile, Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index found that 80% of hybrid employees encounter at least one meeting-technology issue each week.

People want to be together, but friction in technology can break the flow.

The modern workplace needs to meet that reality head-on. When systems are intuitive, reliable, and connected, people can do their best work without interruption.
