DUBAI, UAE – May 25, 2020 – Plantronics, Inc. ("Poly" - formerly Plantronics and Polycom) (NYSE: PLT), a global communications company that powers meaningful human connection and collaboration, is sponsoring Khaleej Times’ Remote Workforce Summit 2020 as a Communication Partner.
The Remote Workforce Summit 2020, taking place virtually on June 3-4, will focus on collaboration tools that enable remote working styles for organisations of any size, connecting companies, employees and customers across multiple locations to help business leaders address the challenges they face with current tools and solutions.
David Danto, director of UC strategy and research at Poly, will address the virtual audience on the topic of “Collaboration and the New Normal” during Remote Workforce Summit 2020 on June 3 at 14:30 GST.
Danto comments, “The world has realised that – “Work is a thing you do;” not a place you go to, and remote working will become the “new normal” in the near future. While remote working has been in practice for several years, the onset of the global pandemic launched us into an unprecedented era of the remote-first culture. This trend can be seen across all countries globally as governments urge those who could work from home to use this option. As a result, many businesses are amid the trial-on-job phase and the scale of adoption is something no one had ever seen before. Poly is helping several companies in the UAE, and around the globe, to not only navigate during their current unique circumstances but to also enable those businesses who are considering this new way of working for the future. Everyone can see the positive impact of this movement.”
“Home-based workers are starting to equip themselves with the best and most comfortable personal devices, such as the noise-cancelling headset Poly Voyager Focus. As video culture is thriving in this remote work scenario, there has been an uptick in the demand for high-quality USB video devices for personal collaboration. Video meetings help maintain the in-person contact, whether we add just an HD camera peripheral or all-in-one executive experience video bar Poly Studio X30 that has gracefully transitioned itself from huddle rooms in offices to executive rooms in homes. Remote working is paving the way for new ways of working to boost business productivity and to conduct effective business communications,” adds Danto.
