As expected, things will be returning to normal eventually, and many businesses will be tempted to hurry their staff back into the office so they can keep an eye on tasks being done. But why rush getting staff back into the office?

Working from home gives you and your staff the flexibility to work from the comfort of your own homes, saving on commuting costs, and the costs of running and managing office-based computers and monitors.

If you’re still using your mobiles to make and receive calls with your staff, now could be the best time to upgrade your setup, so you can not only make these calls but also make external calls while displaying your main business number. With a hybrid system, you can use a dedicated mobile app to create extensions internal to your business, and these calls would all be free, instead of on a per-minute or per month basis. Instead, you simply pay for each user, giving them unlimited free calls to 01, 02, 03 and 07 numbers.

If you want a mixture of staff working from home and the office, this is also possible with a hybrid telephone system. With integrated IP handsets, you can program extensions to work on your office network, or on the home routers that your staff own. The handsets will work exactly the same in both scenarios, offering a seamless experience to make calls internally, and externally.
