Huddle Space Trends in 2020

These huddle space trends for 2020 only prove that today’s collaboration technology cannot be defined as “one-size-fits-all.”

March 26, 2020 Dana Corey Leave a Comment

huddle space trends

Today’s collaboration technology cannot be defined as “one-size-fits-all”. Businesses today, whether large or small, require customizable employee collaboration, stemming from designated meeting spaces, including huddle rooms.

A huddle room, or huddle space, is an area where in-office, global, and remote teams can come together to focus on their company-wide collaboration efforts. Generally smaller than the average board or conference room, huddle spaces are often reserved for smaller, more private meetings amongst colleagues and are equipped with videoconferencing and various other collaboration technologies.

Because today’s workforce, highly populated by millennials, is more technology-proficient than ever before, and according to FlexJobs, there has been a 91-percent growth rate in remote work over the last ten years, a less traditional approach to team meeting spaces has become a growing necessity over the last decade.

Over that time, huddle rooms have become a desired setting for internal and external collaboration, allowing for greater flexibility and adaptability to different types of meetings.

The traditional workplace as we once knew it has undergone a considerable renovation as a result of modern-day office culture trends, driving the need towards huddle spaces.

Remote & freelance are major factors

These huddle space trends include the shift toward hiring more remote and freelance employees as businesses begin to realize the value of assigning their best team members to projects, regardless of residence.

Humanizing technology

Other huddle room trends are driven by the desire for in-office open floor plans, the increase in millennials entering the workforce, and a desire for workplace technology that mirrors the personal technology devices we rely on so heavily outside of the office.

Huddle workspaces are a great place to install some of the best, cutting-edge technology.

They’re creative spaces, where people come up with quick ideas and where business collaboration is key – so it’s crucial that huddle rooms invite teamwork and have places where ideas can be quickly jotted down.

BYOD

Common trends in huddle space technology include BYOD-compatible hardware like interactive displays that provide touch-screen capabilities and integration with video conferencing software to effectively bring teams together for accelerated communication.

In order to be effective, huddle spaces must be equipped with the right technology for flexible video conferencing, document sharing, annotation, and presentations.

These tools need to adhere to the flexible technology devices today’s professionals rely on and which ensure frictionless collaboration.

Huddle spaces will continue to play an important role in team collaboration as the way we work continues to evolve – for those in charge out outfitting these spaces, it is important to consider the size and scale of these spaces and choose technology that incorporates all-in-one features that help teams do more, with limited space.
