The workplace has changed, and businesses need to adapt to the new way of working. For some firms a 100% work-from-home option is not conducive to a vibrant and productive workforce. The ability to bounce ideas around, have informal meetings and brainstorming sessions can be what drives the creativity and forward thinking that firms will need to stimulate growth.
But remote working has been proven to be effective, and many firms will be looking to reap some benefits by scaling back the real estate that was previously thought essential to provide the working environment. With careful planning, 100 employees can easily utilise 50-70 desks and deliver the hybrid workplace. The technology is available to facilitate this, with laptops, the Cloud, video-conferencing and collaborative tools, but how od managers ensure there is always the optimum match up of desks and staff?

Envoy Desks gives managers the ability to set up a flexible work environment and utilise their office space efficiently. It gives them the data to “right-size” their footprint requirement, optimise productivity levels and reduce costs. It allows managers to determine which desks are available to book, which are permanently assigned, or even which are unavailable.
Once that availability is finalised and published on the app, employees can book a desk for the day or in advance right from their phone or on the web. They have the flexibility to choose where to sit, depending on what they need to get done that day. And “neighbourhoods” can be designated within the seating plan so teammates can work near each other to collaborate. Teammates can be automatically seated by function or project team, while still giving them the flexibility to change their desk if they prefer.
But what about visitors? As part of its comprehensive workplace platform the Envoy Desks app welcomes guests with a beautifully simple visitor management system that keeps your workplace safe and saves your team time. With customisable sign-in flows, instant notifications to your employees, visitor screening and more, it strikes the balance between a high level of security and an open, welcoming environment.
When added to other products, such as Envoy Rooms (smart conference room scheduling that frees up unused space and makes it easy to find and book the right room), Envoy Deliveries (ensuring incoming mail reaches its rightful owner—at home or in the office!) and Envoy Protect (know who’s coming to the office and confirm they’re healthy) you can Join the thousands of companies that rely on Envoy to keep their hybrid workplaces running smoothly and safely, so everyone inside can thrive.
With multiple integrations available, such as Microsoft Teams, DocuSign, Eventbrite, Slack and many, many more, the Envoy Workplace platform can easily be connected with out-of-the-box integrations for your every need.

Maintaining good IT can be time consuming, resource intensive and expensive, especially when you have a business to run. The evolving nature of IT means that businesses need to ensure their IT staff are up to date with the latest technologies and this usually involves training, which comes at a cost. In addition, staff turnover means a need to recruit, which is a similar drain on your precious resources. By outsourcing your IT support, you get a guaranteed team of experienced, skilled and professional staff with a wealth of knowledge to manage your IT. And because training, recruitment and so on for that team is the purview of the IT support firm, your costs are reduced.
A good IT support company helps your organisation focus on its core business, reducing the need to divert resources to IT issues. By providing a service that is always at least equal to an internal IT department, but at significant cost benefit, it helps your business to drive revenue, reduce costs, reduce risk and increase productivity. An IT Support company provides outsourced IT Support services to organisations across all industries, locations and sizes. A good IT Support partner will offer proactive support, technology advice and consultation, project management and 3rd party IT supplier management.
External IT support is a cost effective solution for businesses who would like the experience of their own IT department, without the cost of hiring one. This is particularly popular with SME’s as the monthly cost is often based on the number of users or computers, and this offers the flexibility to scale the service as your business grows.
The reality of today’s inter-connected world is that digital technology is used to drive virtually every aspect of a business. Whether it is product development, project planning, accounting and finance, communications or HR, there is usually a keyboard being tapped or a mouse being clicked to facilitate a process. And when that technology fails, or even slows down, your business is seriously affected. So Labyrinth Technology aims to provide business IT support that delivers fast response times, reduced system downtime, assurance that your business is using the best equipment and software, reduced cost, and time to focus on your core business goals and objectives.
