Meeting The Living Workplace

A workplace transformation is happening

Successful businesses are embracing a new way of working that allows unprecedented flexibility while delivering results. Today's workforce can operate from virtually anywhere: at a company or home office, at a coffee shop or convention center, in the air or on the road. With the right technologies, work can be done where workers need to be—achieving results and satisfying customers. We call this "The Living Workplace." > more

The tools to succeed

The Living Workplace is where today's worker has the flexibility, mobility and agility to succeed in a hyper-competitive environment. Having the right technology tools gives a competitive edge in today's Living Workplace, enabling workers to collaborate over long distances, communicate in a variety of ways, and be more productive than ever.

Understanding the trends behind the transformation

To better understand the trends behind the transforming workplace, Skype commissioned a survey to examine how business is being conducted in more ways, from more locations, on more devices, and in more communication modalities than ever before. It's a communications transformation, and the survey report explains it all. Compiled independently from research conducted by Incites and by analysts from GigaOM Pro, "The Future of Workplaces" report is available for free download here.
