In today's fast-paced global environment, smartphones have become more than just gadgets—we rely on them for almost everything. With nearly 90% of mobile devices worldwide being smartphones, totaling over 6.5 billion and counting, it's clear that interactive technology has seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. But despite this widespread adoption, there's still a surprising gap in leveraging this technology to its full potential within the workplace.

However, times are changing. Gen Z and Millennials are swiftly becoming the backbone of the global workforce, projected to make up a whopping 58% by 2030. These digital natives have weathered the pandemic and emerged with a new perspective. From adapting to remote work setups to navigating uncertain job markets, they've become experts at rolling with the punches.

In general, Gen Z are the most “pro-office” age group—whilst Gen X and Baby Boomers are the most “pro-remote” - Hubble 2023

To truly engage and empower this emerging workforce, employers need to understand the unique context in which they operate. Gen Z, in particular, brings a blend of digital fluency and adaptability that's perfectly suited to today's fast-paced environments. Recognizing this, organisations have a golden opportunity to use technology as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration.

The modern workplace isn't confined to traditional office settings—it's a dynamic arena where ideas flow freely across borders. That's where interactive display technologies come in. Whether it's interactive whiteboards or immersive virtual reality setups, these tools are transforming working environments by allowing colleagues to actively participate and engage in experiential collaboration, no matter where they are. It's about breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity, creating a more connected and equitable workplace experience for all.

Interactive Displays that foster inclusivity

Gen Z and Millennials are no strangers to technology, and interactive displays tap into their digital native sensibilities. With intuitive interfaces and innovative features, these displays provide a dynamic platform for learning and collaboration that resonates with today's tech-savvy workforce. Plus, they stimulate multiple senses, offering a rich, immersive experience that enhances engagement and retention—a perfect fit for digital natives who thrive on constant stimulation.

And let's talk productivity. Gen Z and Millennials are masters of multitasking, thanks to their upbringing in the digital era. Dual-screen setups offer them unparalleled flexibility and efficiency, allowing them to seamlessly navigate between multiple tasks and applications. Research shows that this translates into streamlined workflow management and accelerated task completion—music to the ears of today's busy workforce.

Flexibility and Adaptability

Thriving in environments that offer flexibility and adaptability, the Gen Z/Millennial workforce are empowered by customisation, adapting their workspace to their preferences. The industry is seeing a rise in the amount of interactive displays and LFDs that are mounted using transportable trolleys. Whether its impromptu collaboration sessions with co-workers or moving to a quiet space for some focus time, being able to transport displays offers users a dynamic platform for visual and hand-on engagement, catering to their preference for immersive working environments.

Double the screen, double the productivity

In today's collaborative workplaces, effective communication and teamwork are key, and dual screens serve as catalysts for smoother collaboration. By enabling real-time sharing of screens, data comparison, and brainstorming sessions, they create an environment where Gen Z and Millennials can thrive, leveraging their innate comfort with technology to drive innovation.

Making smartphones a part of the workflow

Whether it's mounting a display into huddle spaces with the ability to share content directly from devices, or utilising UC platform QR codes to join meetings or even providing stands so workers can easily answer their workcalls on their devices, making smartphones a part of the workflow is a productivity game-changer. Smartphones enable real-time collaboration among team members, with messaging apps, cloud storage and UC-platforms, users can easily share files, communicate ideas and work together on projects, fostering a more connected and efficient workflow.
