In the past two years, workforces have relearned how to optimise team collaboration and rethought professional development all because of hybrid work. While this has been an adjustment for all, many workplaces have come out on the other side of the pandemic able to see the silver lining in their new hybrid workforce.
When the pandemic hit in early 2020, bioMérieux, a global biotechnology company headquartered in France, had its workforce start working from home. Learning and Development Training Manager, Shelia Brown, was faced with the challenge of managing employee training during the pandemic. At the onset, Brown had to figure out how to enable training for field representatives on how to operate, install, and repair their biotechnology diagnostic systems.
“Our trainers train our field representatives on how to operate, install and repair our various diagnostic systems,” explains Shelia. “We needed a solution that would show a full view of the training room and that would eliminate the need for multiple people to join from their individual laptops to reduce audio feedback.”
Enter the Meeting Owl Pro.
Before purchasing the Meeting Owl Pro, bioMérieux tried other solutions that either required too much setup and configuration to make work properly or didn’t allow trainers to move around the room, which was necessary for demonstrations. After implementing the Meeting Owl, Shelia knew it was the right solution for her team’s hybrid trainings.
“Whenever there’s a training, I can give the Meeting Owl to whoever is leading it, and know that they won’t have any issues with it because it’s so intuitive and easy to use. There’s no setup or management required because it’s plug-and-play, and it works seamlessly with whatever video conferencing platform we use.”
Shelia also remarked that the 360° panoramic view of the room was a favorite of her team in addition to the face-to-face view of the active speaker. These features in particular offer an immersive feel for remote participants encouraging collaboration and free-flowing ideas.
As bioMérieux looks towards a return to office post-pandemic, the Meeting Owl is there to stay as it allows for newfound flexibility within the workplace. Similar to Shelia, leading minds in education are always searching for the best ways to exchange ideas and better the future of education. In order to do this, it’s important to have the most innovative technology to promote collaboration and bring ideas to life. From teacher conferences to staff trainings, the Meeting Owl Pro allows a meeting of the minds even when they aren’t all in the same room.
