The idea of hybrid work today is no longer new or controversial. For organisations, it is not a question of whether it should be implemented but how extensively it should be practiced, where feasible.
Also, it is dawning on many organisational leaders that the hybrid world of work and play is likely here to stay.
It is important for organisations to understand that creating a hybrid environment is not simply about providing an employee with a laptop or tablet to be carried around to perform a task.
For example, employees might also need to be provided with secure and efficient access to digital assets on the corporate network, as well as the ability to effectively collaborate with co-workers. Although both are fundamentally different activities, a common thread is that the experience must be equal, whether working remotely or in the office.
This is where new challenges emerge from the sometimes-ad hoc arrangements that many organisations had set up during the pandemic, which now must be updated to fully realise the potential of hybrid work.
One critical component is display solutions. In today’s hybrid world, displays are an important bridge between virtual and physical worlds. They are crucial to organisations seeking to create inclusive and collaborative experiences regardless of location. At home or in the office, these displays will help deliver a parity of experience that enables employees to work effectively in a hybrid world.

Rethinking the office
The purpose of an office has changed in the new normal. It is often seen now as a “destination” for employees to get away from the remoteness of teleworking and to learn and share ideas in-person with colleagues.
Executives and leaders seeking to redesign workspaces today need to think of the possibilities that display technologies bring.
Digital signage can inform, guide, and inspire staff as well as welcome visitors in many communal areas. In the lobby, for example, it can help entertain guests or be used as a tool to manage visitor access.
Representing the future of display innovation is Micro LED technology. Samsung’s Micro LED display, The Wall, an entire wall of a lobby with ambient visuals that make a statement. This never fails to catch the eye of clients visiting for the first time or talents interviewing for a position.

Meeting spaces, where a lot of brainstorming is done and creative ideas born from discussion and debate, are another area where displays can make a real difference. Here, The Wall can be used in a Boardroom to deliver an immersive experience for those participating in a meeting.

Samsung’s Flip Pro interactive whiteboard display is another example of how display solutions can enrich productivity and collaboration in a hybrid world, especially with its USB type-C connectivity. By offering a realistic pen-and-paper haptic experience and interactivity for four simultaneous users, the Flip Pro brings a new level of collaboration to teams working together. At the same time, individuals joining from anywhere can share information and take notes in real time, for more engaging and participatory meetings.

A home set up for hybrid work
While a lot of emphasis has been spent on making the office relevant, it is just as important for employees to focus on getting their home office fit for purpose as well, or even for students to be seamlessly productive at home.
Monitors are increasingly important here; in this hybrid world, monitors need to do more than just extending the workspace.
The Samsung Smart Monitor M8, for example, offers both functionality and entertainment in the comfort of home. Only 11.4mm thin, its sleek and slim outlook fits into any home desk or spaces effortlessly.
With a SlimFit camera that can be attached easily to the monitor, a user can get on a video call easily. Plus, the smart monitor supports Microsoft 3651, Samsung DeX and Apple AirPlay 2, so it is easy to connect a mobile device to get productive. One screen can also be used to show all the interactions on the various devices, without the need for PC and TV.

For creative professionals, the ViewFinity S8 monitor may be the screen of choice for content creation, graphic design and more. Its 4K display panel comes with a wide colour gamut and Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) DisplayHDRTM 6002 for more range, accuracy, and nuance.

Professional factory calibration ensures colours are projected in crystal clarity on the IPS panel. This creates vibrant colour reproduction and contrast when you are working on the most complex visual and design projects.
It is not always work-first and play-second at home. The Odyssey Ark is Samsung’s first 55-inch gaming monitor. This next-generational 4K gaming display features a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and a Cockpit mode to create a whole new immersive and personal gaming theatre for competitive and casual gamers alike. This ultimate gaming monitor also comes with the Ark Dial, which is a solar-powered controller built to give the player quick access to screen functions such as Flex Move Screen, Multi View and Quick Settings.

Let’s also not forget about security, which is key to employees working from home. This is where Samsung Knox, a software layer that protects most Samsung devices from malicious threats, comes in. It enables unified endpoint management for organisations seeking to reduce the risk of remote devices being infiltrated by cyber attackers.
Finding a way forward
To cater to today’s hybrid environment, organisations must rethink long-held ideas of what the workspace should be, and instead urgently develop strategies that make the work experience more rewarding and relevant to their talents. For that to happen, organisations must take advantage of display technologies to create a conducive and empowering work environment that helps realise the full potential of today’s hybrid workstyles for the future.
