It allows teams to set up virtual casual meeting spaces that members can hop into and out of whenever they want. It\u2019s like Discord\u2014but with video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Team Huddle is much more than a freely collaborative space. Here are several practical ways to use\u00a0it in your office:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Always-on IT service help desk<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one team that\u2019s especially handy to have on hand, it&#8217;s the IT team. One of the great perks of office life was being able to visit an in-house service tech to troubleshoot issues or answer questions quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But from service queues to communication challenges that can arise while messaging about issues, working with IT can be more cumbersome in virtual office settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49101\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Creating-a-Team-Huddle.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Team Huddle to set up an <\/span><b>always-on IT service help desk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help make the process more convenient and user-friendly. For example, when an employee has an urgent issue, they can drop in on an ad-hoc basis. No scheduling or trying to explain complicated technical details in a message required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. HR benefits enrollment Q&amp;A<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think back to your first days at your current workplace. If you were onboarded before the pandemic era, you likely attended a series of onboarding sessions, detailing everything from company HR policies to your new health benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back then, you could simply drop into the HR office to ask questions. Now it usually means scheduling time for a phone call or meeting\u2014on top of everything else a new hire has to do to hit the ground running. This may mean that important benefit and HR-related questions\u2014some of which may have signup deadlines attached\u2014fall to the wayside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up a Team Huddle for benefits enrollment-related questions can help to ensure new hires <\/span><b>get the answers they need<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. New employees can drop in with any questions as the need arises and at a time that\u2019s convenient. No need to send messages and emails and wait for responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Leadership team office hours<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting face time with your leaders goes a long way in helping teams overcome roadblocks, get aligned, and make decisions.That\u2019s why prior to the pandemic, some companies embraced open-door office hours for managers and leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to office hours in college, <\/span><b>Team Huddle <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allows employees to drop in with questions or for a casual chat with leadership, where they can ask questions about anything and everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta rc-bottom-cta__landscape\" style=\"background-image: url(\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/rc-bottom-cta-bg.png);\">\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"700\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PR-Blog-hero.png\" class=\"responsive-image\" alt=\"The latest ...\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-copy\">\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__text\" style=\"\">\n<h3\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"rc-bottom-cta__title headline-copy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t><strong>The latest features to keep your teams connected\u2014wherever they are<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__btn-wrapper\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg rc-bottom-cta__link\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Read the blog\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/new-innovations-in-enterprise-communications-and-hybrid-work\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-name=\"Read the blog\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-element=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-additional-info=\"bottom cta banner\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-no-auto-dl=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonmouseover=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='';this.style.borderColor='';this.style.color='';\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Read the blog<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This use of Team Huddle has two advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office hours give employees a chance to engage directly with leadership and ask questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More visibility with leaders improves transparency within the organization, which builds trust and better performance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>4.

But informal learning occasions are another thing that can lapse away from the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown bag lunch sessions, in which workers bring their lunches and eat while participating in an in-person learning session, are one such office tradition that can be difficult to maintain. But Team Huddle is a great way to keep them going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply set up a <\/span><b>Team Huddle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and people can drop in if their schedules allow. It\u2019s much more lightweight than a meeting invite, and doesn\u2019t inundate people with calendar requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Building better connections<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loss of casual interactions can be one of the main drawbacks of working away from the office. But hybrid and remote work don\u2019t have to mean the end of valuable opportunities to connect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Team Huddle, you can establish common spaces that support these informal interactions and sessions. And because organizations can provide RingCentral video and messaging to anyone in the company for free, it\u2019s easy to use Team Huddles to recreate the office online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49103\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Lunch-and-learn.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"916\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try Team Huddle in your RingCentral app today.
