Collaboration entails ongoing, clear communication as well as a sense of structure and organization that everyone understands and follows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As more companies embrace hybrid work environments, managers and leaders need to develop new work principles to give their employees more options when it comes to when, where, and how to collaborate.<\/p>\n<p>While hybrid collaboration offers many benefits in terms of employee satisfaction and boosted productivity, this form of working also poses challenges\u2014from social connectivity and unintended hierarchies to selecting the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/remote-working-tools\/\">remote working tools<\/a>. In this article, we\u2019ll offer some timely recommendations on how to improve hybrid communication.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a id=\"two\"><\/a><a id=\"easy-tips\"><\/a>5 easy tips for better hybrid collaboration at work<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. <a id=\"move\"><\/a>Move your team to the cloud<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to be a truly hybrid workplace, employees need to have complementary tools, collaboration spaces, and systems\u2014whether they\u2019re at the office or working remotely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A hybrid workplace should set everyone up to collaborate on an equal footing. Moving files and systems to the cloud will help create a central hub that employees can access no matter where they\u2019re located.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RingCentral offers a <a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/what-is-cloud-communications\/\">cloud communications<\/a><\/span>\u00a0solution<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that\u2019s ideal for teams working within a hybrid working scenario. RingCentral&#8217;s business phone system works just as well on a desktop as on a smartphone, so it\u2019s ideal for hybrid teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Team members can set up meetings, use <\/span><a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/automatic-call-distributor-system\/\">advanced call routing<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, send business texts, and manage voicemails, as well as switch seamlessly from <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/what-is-team-messaging\/\">team messaging<\/a> to video meetings in just a tap:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49182\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Creating-a-Team-Huddle-2.gif\" alt=\"ringcentral team huddle - switch from message to video\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s simple and easy to deploy and scale\u2014and ideal for remote work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. <a id=\"create\"><\/a>Create space for live and asynchronous collaboration<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to hybrid collaboration in the workplace, companies need to think not just about hybrid work in terms of location\u2014like where teams are located and distributed\u2014but also whether teams are working together in sync or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/screen-sharing-software\/\">Live screen sharing<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be a highly useful way to collaborate. However, in a hybrid environment, employees don\u2019t have to work at the same time in order to work \u201ctogether.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are times when it\u2019s better to share documents offline\u2014before important meetings, for example. This ensures participants can digest the information in their own time, rather than having to deal with new information live in the moment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collaborative workspaces should be built to facilitate both synchronous and asynchronous workflows. RingCentral has tools to help foster both types of collaboration, enabling teams to stay connected across time zones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Employees can collaborate live and <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/ways-to-use-free-file-sharing-in-your-ringcentral-app\/\">share files<\/a>, pin documents, and keep things organized, as well as keep teamwork on track after a meeting with the ability to set tasks straight from messaging threads:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50526\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Share-file.gif\" alt=\"team messaging - RingCentral file sharing\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. <a id=\"use\"><\/a>Use technology to nurture team camaraderie<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When employees are working together in a physical environment, there are plenty of opportunities for spontaneous interactive collaboration. When working in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/hybrid-work-small-business\/\">hybrid work<\/a> environment, managers need to create ways for employees to interact with each other in informal ways. Planned serendipity can be awkward, unless it\u2019s handled thoughtfully.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ways of encouraging \u201cwater-cooler\u201d moments include creating designated spaces or channels (maybe on social media like LinkedIn, Facebook, or even TikTok) where people can have conversations, share photos, or pick up the latest industry news.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This can help employees feel more connected, and these informal conversations can also help to spark some great ideas and help develop a healthier workplace dynamic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A powerful <\/span><a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/how-to-choose-a-chat-app\/\">team chat app<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> helps to get team conversations off the ground. Just like popping over to a colleague\u2019s desk, the app offers an impromptu, fun, and easy way to communicate (unlike with slow emails). Here&#8217;s how it looks in RingCentral&#8217;s app:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45055\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RingCentral_EMOJI_Reaction.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To encourage remote participants to contribute, you could introduce \u201cconversation hours\u201d where chats can continue from formal team catch-ups to informal conversations. Members can be asked to add their input around certain set topics, join in remote team building activities, or brainstorm together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However you choose to set up these interactions, RingCentral\u2019s chat app is ideal because it\u2019s easy to use (it simply requires a user to download the app) and it can be used on a desktop or mobile phone\u2014via a secure login.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta rc-post-content-cta_orange\">\n<div

But how many of the tools do they use on a daily basis? Probably far fewer than are available. And which do they actually like using?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some tools are more valuable for teams when working together in the office, whilst others are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/remote-working-tools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ideal tools for virtual teams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Also, different teams may use tools differently\u2014with key pieces of information becoming dispersed and difficult to locate. Teams in a physical environment will also have different ways of contributing when together\u2014for example, using screen sharing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RingCentral offers a \u201cclose to physical,\u201d seamless way for in-house and distributed teams to collaborate. Hybrid meetings can replicate physical meetups in a conference room, with video conferencing tools that offer various ways to present information\u2014as well as mediums where participants can contribute in real time, like our <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/ringcentral-whiteboard\/\">virtual whiteboard:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52424\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Whiteboard-Pointing-Tool.gif\" alt=\"RingCentral Whiteboard pointing tool\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just as in physical office meeting rooms, remote employees in virtual meetings can easily share their screen, files, or applications during live meetings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While sharing a screen, the host and participant can add notes and annotations, request or give remote control access, and zoom into shared content. There\u2019s the option to share photos and docs, too, as well as share from third-party apps like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft 365.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. <a id=\"gather\"><\/a>Gather feedback from your in-office and remote workers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hybrid office requires ongoing refinement, so it\u2019s important to survey and assess morale frequently. Ensuring the hybrid workforce is enjoying high job satisfaction is another way of making sure customers are also happy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surveys are a good way to find out how everyone is feeling about hybrid working practices. Collecting anonymous feedback will give you ideas about how to improve the hybrid working environment and company culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/p>\n<div
