Navigating Workspace Transformation & Our Latest Features to Help!
Changes in the workplace have continued to take place with organizations looking for ways to balance the needs of their employees and their stakeholders. Challenges are inevitable in these situations, but addressing every employee’s need for flexibility and autonomy is the key to creating a productive work environment – whether it be on-site, hybrid, or remote.
In our recent blog on how employers are preparing employees for the transformation of the workplace, key leaders have shared several insights on how to transition smoothly.
Be active in discovering and addressing needs
Keeping a close ear to the ground is essential to make sure your organization’s strategy becomes a success. Becky Cantieri of Momentive shared her experience on how they worked this out.
Effective communication is the way to achieving a better workplace. But achieving this is easier said than done. Our blog delves into the barriers to effective communication and ways to address these challenges.
Create a culture of choice
An autonomous work environment is a happy work environment. Here at Zoom, employees have the freedom to have no meetings on Wednesdays. This allows us to have more time to focus and work more efficiently. Almost 2 years into this and 84% of employees continue to practice this every week.

2 年I have cancer, and COVID-19 is incredibly dangerous for my continued recovery (I am in surveillance right now). Being able to work from home is the only way I will continue to have income. Unfortunately, my main source of income is not willing to do virtual work. I have been in ADA Accommodations with them since January, when COVID spiked and mask mandates began to fall. Because of my inability to be in the building, the first week of June is my last week. I never thought cancer would... lead to that. Zoom's values, flexibility, collaboration and focus on employee and client happiness are what brought me to the two positions I applied for: Head of DI&B and Senior Learning Strategist. I am hoping for an opportunity to prove my capabilities and join the Zoom family. ??
