The demands of commercial interiors have evolved radically in recent years and as a result, approaches to office design have had to adapt, modernise, and cater for hybrid and dispersed teams. We stay at the forefront of these innovations, to provide organisations with transformative office interior solutions in Manchester, Liverpool and across the North-West.
Technology has transformed how we work. Many organisations are moving away from traditional business and office models, embracing change and reinvigorating working practices with smart office solutions. Penketh Group partners with leading brands to bring you the most innovative workplace technology advancements, helping your office collaborate, create, share information quickly and achieve your goals.
Hybrid working policies are no longer a nice-to-have. For many leading organisations, they’re a new necessity especially when it comes to attracting and retaining the best talent. In a post pandemic world, more employers than ever before are offering hybrid working. In fact, a recent study by Accenture found that 63% of high-growth companies favour hybrid working models and over 80% of employees believe hybrid working is the way forward.
Evolving to hybrid working
Hybrid working gives greater choice and control and is linked to greater team productivity and improved employee satisfaction, both of which can directly impact bottom-line profits and output. But it also brings many challenges as companies adapt to fewer face-to-face interactions and more virtual meetings. Businesses need to rethink their office spaces – physically and virtually to make hybrid working a success. If you’re considering a new layout, or enhancements to existing spaces to accommodate the latest hybrid meeting technology, Penketh Group’s team of experts is here to help you optimise your space effectively.

How to plan hybrid meeting areas
Making the office fit for hybrid working isn’t just a case of installing a few video cameras into pre-existing meeting rooms and hoping for the best. It’s time to reassess your entire office environment, thinking about how you work currently and your vision for the space. At Penketh Group, we know your office space is personal. We’ll work with you to understand your environment, culture, and future goals.

Finding the right solution
When designing your hybrid meeting areas, we’ll ask questions such as:
How will employees split their time between home and the physical office environment?
Will hybrid working be adopted for both collaborative and independent work?
Does your office adopt a bring your own device approach, or will bookable desks be unitised?
What common pain points occur as a result of your existing technology?
Which components of hybrid working are most beneficial for your business?
Do your people need screen sharing abilities, new display screens, updated speaker and sound systems, or other tech?
Which tech tools do you currently use to encourage collaboration between in-house and remote staff?

Benefits of technology for hybrid meetings
Hybrid meetings work best when everyone can participate, collaborate, and put their ideas forward. To do that, you need to utilise technology solutions that ensure your people can engage effectively.
Integrated technology solutions help to facilitate virtual connections between different offices and locations. They speed up decision-making and enhance productivity between teams as everyone can get involved, no matter where they’re based.
Advanced audio solutions, high-quality visual software, and interactive equipment allows creativity to flow through the room with fewer challenges and interruptions. Whether a customer pitch, team-wide meeting, or individual presentation, hybrid meeting technology facilitates any business interaction.
