<\/span> There is no doubt that workplaces have changed in recent years. Through the pandemic and beyond, most formal workplaces have necessarily evolved to adopt a hybrid work model, and a more flexible approach to communication. A report by Owl Labs shows that 62%<\/a> <\/span>of the global working population have opted for working hybrid, combining working in the office with some form of remote work. Teams have become dispersed, often working across multiple office locations. In addition, office design itself has changed, with dedicated work stations giving way to flexible workspaces and more space for meetings to facilitate collaboration between colleagues.<\/p>\n Following several years of connecting with colleagues almost exclusively online, employees who find themselves back in the office are getting used to face-to-face meetings again. According to Entrepreneur.com<\/span><\/a>, many firms prefer face-to-face meetings as they allow for more effective communication, the development of solid connections, and increased participation. Research also shows that meeting face-to-face is more productive. In fact, face-to-face requests are shown to be 34 times<\/span><\/a> more effective than those sent by email.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_last_edited=”off|phone” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat|500|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Managing physical meeting spaces and schedules can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, often falling to one or two people to manage and bringing with it a host of challenges. A meeting room manager is a tool that helps employees in busy workplaces book meetings and workspaces to facilitate easy and efficient gatherings. Here, we explore how an effective meeting room management solution can help workplaces be more connected, efficient and productive.<\/p>\n Offices that still use manual booking systems to manage meeting spaces, such as spreadsheets, Word documents or even paper, are likely compromising efficiency and productivity. Manual systems are often only accessible by one or two staff members, meaning not everyone is able to book a meeting space when they need it.<\/p>\n A digital meeting room management solution<\/a><\/span> like Scala Meeting Room Manager allows any employee to create meetings and book spaces, and easily change details like time, date and location with instant updates to colleagues. Further, all details are centrally managed, making coordinating meeting spaces across locations far easier.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/latamscalaprod.wpengine.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/02\/Meeting-Room-Manage_Image-2.jpg” alt=”Meeting Room Manage_Image-2″ title_text=”Meeting Room Manage_Image-2″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”50%” width_tablet=”50%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”2560px” custom_margin=”|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n According to Market Watch, the Asia-Pacific digital signage market is expected to be the world\u2019s fastest-growing regional market and register growth of 7.92% annually with a total addressable market cap of $45.3 billion over 2020-2026, brought about by increasing adoption of digital signage products in commercial verticals, rapid digitisation in emerging countries, proliferation of smart cities, and progressive technological advancements.<\/p>\n Increased application of video walls and digital billboards for brand marketing in developing nations such as India, Singapore and developed countries such as China and Japan will fuel steady growth of the digital signage industry.<\/p>\n Digital signage has played a key role in influencing purchase decisions, and today, private companies and government institutions are relying heavily on digital signage solutions to better engage and communicate with their targeted audiences.<\/p>\n With that in mind, let\u2019s take a closer look at the top digital signage trends that are likely to take centre stage in 2022.” content_phone=”<\/p>\n <\/span> Increased application of video walls and digital billboards for brand marketing in developing nations such as India, Singapore and developed countries such as China and Japan will fuel steady growth of the digital signage industry.<\/p>\n Digital signage has played a key role in influencing purchase decisions, and today, private companies and government institutions are relying heavily on digital signage solutions to better engage and communicate with their targeted audiences.<\/p>\n With that in mind, let\u2019s take a closer look at the top digital signage trends that are likely to take centre stage in 2022.” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat|500|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For busy workplaces with multiple locations, meeting spaces and complex meeting schedules, meeting management can be a full time task for one or more employees. Often, the task falls to reception or executive staff who have many other responsibilities.<\/p>\n With a centrally managed meeting room manager, any employee is able to search for a meeting space, schedule a meeting and book the right location, meaning this responsibility no longer falls to one or two people. Now precious staff resources can be reallocated to more important tasks, improving workplace productivity.<\/p>\n Manual room booking systems often fall short when it comes to sharing details with other corporate tools, like email and scheduling systems. A smart meeting room management system can be integrated with existing tools to ensure details are not lost and corporate schedules and resources are aligned. Scala Meeting Room Manager easily integrates with existing tools like Outlook, Google Meets and more to ensure all details are captured and can be centrally managed.<\/p>\n A meeting room manager with a strong analytics module gives insight into the usage patterns of meeting rooms, helping to identify under-utilised space and plan office layouts and facilities.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”2560px” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n The impact and influence of social media cannot be underestimated.
