The rapid rise of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/how-it-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud communications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> represents a desire from organizations to embrace digital transformation and enhance the communication and collaboration experience of employees. Reaching colleagues now is as easy as opening a smartphone app and typing away, and video meetings can launch with a single click.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This begs the question: What\u2019s in store for workplace communications going forward? Will it maintain its momentum? What new technologies and advancements will we see? Moving into a new decade, here are some trends to look forward to:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. User experience will be the key differentiator<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementing new communications technology is one thing, but employee adoption is another. Millennials and Gen Zers grew up with communications technology (Instagram, Messenger, FaceTime) and expect the same seamless experiences in their professional lives. For example, it takes a single tap to switch from texting to calling or FaceTime. If organizations don\u2019t provide the same user experience in their workplace communications, their employees will search for better options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current communications ecosystem is flooded with an app for every business need, often overwhelming employees. Studies show that 68% of employees <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/documents\/connected_workplace_infographic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toggle between apps 10 times an hour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while some employees toggle <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20170918005033\/en\/Information-App-Overload-Hurts-Worker-Productivity-Focus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">up to 15 times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Combined with arrays of other tasks, notifications, and meetings, employee attention spans have dwindled. Employers will naturally move toward integrated solutions that combine multiple functions and reduce overabundance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As organizations simplify their technology, unified communications solutions will take center stage. Unified solutions like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/how-it-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> combine team messaging, video conferencing, and cloud phone, allowing employees to effortlessly switch how they communicate with a single click. With multiple features bundled together, unified communications give employees the user experience they need to focus less on technology and more on productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Video conferencing will venture into UHD<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultra high-definition (UHD) video is no longer a question of if, but when. Our devices can now record and output 4K resolution video, and our internet has scaled up to handle the bandwidth. Together with the eventual rollout of 5G connectivity, we\u2019ll begin to see higher video quality in every virtual meeting, making face-to-face interactions over the internet more immersive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. 5G will accelerate the switch to mobile- and video-first<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4G set the stage for mobile workplace communications, but the emergence of 5G will completely transform communication and collaboration. Current projections indicate that 5G will boast <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/how-it-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 times the speed of<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4G\u2014a monumental leap in internet speeds. In fact, Sam Rutherford, a reporter at Gizmodo, downloaded an entire Netflix season in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/nyc-now-has-four-live-5g-networks-battling-for-your-att-1838495771\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">under one minute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As 5G rolls out worldwide and compatible mobile devices fill the market, video meetings will increasingly go mobile. Faster internet speeds will allow employees to reliably connect to video meetings from anywhere while sending high-quality video with minimal latency issues. Remote employees can take full advantage of 5G\u2019s reliability and communicate and collaborate from anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Artificial intelligence will further drive productivity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning represent the next frontiers of workplace communications. According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2019-01-21-gartner-survey-shows-37-percent-of-organizations-have\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gartner CIO survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, AI implementation has risen 270% since 2015, with 37% of respondents reporting that their organization has deployed AI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communications will start to integrate more artificial intelligence in the coming years. For example, in video meetings, AI can evaluate the success rate of certain segments of presentations by gauging participant engagement. AI then sorts the information to educate presenters on what techniques and styles are more effective for certain people, allowing for more personalized communication experiences in meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first iterations of artificial intelligence will likely be enhancements to existing communication features, such as speech-to-text and automatic translations. Near the end of the decade, we\u2019ll start to see primitive versions of stand-alone artificial intelligence products that can fully automate tasks and allow employees to focus on ideation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Workplace communications will be data-driven<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace communications have mostly developed organically. HR and IT teams might look at email open rates and conduct surveys on employee needs, but that\u2019s the extent of workplace communications engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As organizations further enhance workplace communications, however, data will play a much larger role. Analytics will provide detailed insights into how employees interact with certain tools and features. For example, data can tell how many employees use certain channels, how often they use them, and what devices they use to log in. These insights can inform decision-makers and influence long-term communications strategies that enable workers to create and optimize their own workflows.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6. Transparency and employee recognition take center stage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many organizations have adopted the employee-first mantra, but in the next decade, organizations of all sizes will fully embrace the employee experience. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/236927\/employee-engagement-drives-growth.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Gallup shows that organizations with highly engaged employees are four times more successful than those without, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/236927\/employee-engagement-drives-growth.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outperform competitors by 147%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in earnings per share.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The employee-first approach depends on transparency and recognition. Employees want to understand their roles in the larger organization and communicate honestly with their managers. When they feel heard, employees are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/impact-of-equality-business-research.html?d=7010M000001yv8PQAQ)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.6 times more likely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to feel empowered to perform their best work. Similarly, recognition is just as essential. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/about-us\/employees-stay-longer-company-bosses-showed-appreciation-glassdoor-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four out of five employees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> say they work harder when they feel more appreciated by their bosses. As a result, we\u2019ll start to see public praise and open communication become the new normal in workplace communications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A new decade of work powered by communications technology<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nature of work is rapidly evolving. Distributed workforces, work cultures, generational preferences, and technologies continue to evolve at a rapid pace. As organizations search for new ways to optimize employee productivity and business success, we\u2019ll see many exciting transformations to workplace communications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unified communications will, no doubt, play a major role in the next decade. Organizations are increasingly embracing remote work, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/blog\/post\/remote-work-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">41% of global businesses surveyed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> already offering some degree of work flexibility. Impending technologies, such as 5G, will accelerate the mobile-first culture and change how employees prefer to communicate. Solutions like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/how-it-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014which combines team messaging, video conferencing, and cloud phone\u2014will allow tomorrow\u2019s employees to collaborate from virtually anywhere using any device of their choosing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizations that equip their employees with unified communications are better prepared to tackle the communication challenges of the next decade. Make sure your organization is ready.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last decade, workplace communications technology saw accelerated growth as organizations of all sizes migrated their on-premises systems to the cloud.
