Fosters Collaboration and Embraces Different Ways to Work
Driven by the rise of mobile devices, the relationship between work and worker has changed. Flexible work arrangements that don't require structured locations or hours are increasingly popular. Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) is leading the evolution of this trend – called Smarter Working – by delivering simple, integrated solutions based on superior audio and voice technologies.
Plantronics devices, such as the award winning Calisto® 835 and the Voyager® PRO UC, and software like InstantMeeting™, create a foundation for Smarter Working; making it easy to manage all of your essential communications regardless of where you happen to be working. As the center point for Smarter Working, the Plantronics portfolio helps you easily adapt to the way you want to work.
"The goal of our initiative is to empower you to seamlessly communicate with high quality audio across your mobile device, desk phone and PC without missing a beat," said Renee Niemi, Senior Vice President of Communication Solutions at Plantronics. "By helping you focus on the conversation, rather than the technology you're using, Plantronics gives you the flexibility to create a more rewarding work and life balance."
Smarter Working is designed to give employees greater flexibility in where and how they work, empowering them to be their most productive while they enjoy a more rewarding professional life. By adopting advanced communications and design principles that support office, virtual and mobile work styles equally well, smarter working emphasizes business results over structured office hours and locations. Prioritizing people over place, smarter working delivers flexible solutions that fit how different people work and make it easier for them to work more effectively and successfully across work environments, wherever they are.
The conversation around workplace evolution continues as Plantronics kicks off its Smarter Working initiative with a web event on February 1, 2012 at 10 am PST. The event features video interviews of Plantronics executives and partner companies and can be found at www.Plantronics.com/smarter-working.
