Back in the day, employees gathered around the corporate water cooler to chat about everything from brainstorming the next great product innovation or closing on loose ends from the last team meeting. Regardless of the topic of discussion, the water cooler was a place where people connected with one another. In this simple way, team based productivity was organically amplified, synergizing workers and increasing productivity. Such gatherings of like-minded individuals were often the spark that ignited innovative business strategies.

Here This idea carries through to today’s work environments, where quality team-based productivity begins when companies increase the ability for individuals to connect with one another. This can be a challenge, however, with remote and mobile employees often outnumbering their office-based associates. Enabling employee conversations and video collaboration is just as vital to business objectives today as it was decades ago when the water cooler brought workers together. Now, however, companies must think outside of the box to keep employees connected.

Developing this capacity requires real-time communications solutions—enhanced with HD-quality and multipoint video conferencing. This technology enables modern day remote/mobile working teams to still have valuable collaboration experiences no matter where they are or from which devices they’re working. Just think about your own work style: chances are you and most of your peers already use video technologies at home, making it all the easier to quickly join a real time video session from whatever business communications process you’re using.
