How Peripherals Are Bringing Flexibility to Your Workflows

Four ways peripheral devices can improve employee flexibility.

When you think about it, workplace flexibility is ultimately about creating environments for people to do their best work. It’s about bringing a sense of personalization to the workplace. While we often think about physical space when it comes to these environments, it is the equipment we use that really helps us to become more agile, productive, and collaborative. The following are some of the many examples that illustrate this point.

Bring speed and precision to key workflows with Actions Ring.

Every person has their share of repetitive tasks or actions within their daily workflows. These are often simple and benign tasks such as opening an oft-used app or muting and unmuting their microphone during a meeting. Things they do so frequently that they don’t even give them a second thought. But what if they did?

Although repetitive tasks performed by employees may not appear time-consuming, the collective effort adds up quickly. So the more employees can do to streamline their actions, the more substantial time savings they can achieve over time.

By using Actions Ring¹. on their MX Master 4 for Business mouse, employees can simplify and speed up these repetitive tasks by effortlessly executing multiple tasks from an intuitive on-screen overlay—all from a single click of the Haptic Sense Panel.

An added benefit: the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 for Business works across multiple operating systems, so you don’t have to worry about mismatching devices. This makes it ideal for developers who are constantly flowing between devices and OS environments.

This level of flexibility is invaluable to those who rely on multiple devices. Without the frequent interruptions to their workflows, they can be more productive and create a better overall experience for themselves.

Ensure distraction-free calls in any environment with Adaptive Hybrid ANC.

Ambient noise is an inevitable distraction to everyone’s workday. People can do their best to avoid it by seeking out a quiet workspace but, more often than not, someone or something will interrupt their focus. This has made active noise cancelation (ANC) headsets a must-have for every employee workspace.

ANC technology is giving people more flexibility to work wherever they want by limiting the distractions around them. Logitech’s Zone Wireless 2 ES headset takes this a step further with Adaptive Hybrid ANC. Not only does this headset cancel a wider range of frequencies than standard options, but it intelligently adjusts ANC settings to the user’s environment in real time.

When the noise level around people can change at a moment’s notice, the last thing they want to do is add another distraction by having to change their settings. Zone Wireless 2 ES makes the adjustments for them, hands-free. So whether they’re taking a call on the go or sitting in a high-traffic location, they can stay focused on the task at hand.

Flexibility is a requirement to be successful in today’s working world. For as much as organizations can help create an ideal work environment, nothing is going to be custom built to employees’ specific needs. But with the right tools at their disposal, they can make any situation work to their strengths.

Between all of the peripheral devices they use on a daily basis, there are simple actions they can take to better hone their workflows. These actions may not make a transformative impact on their work habits, but they can contribute to countless incremental improvements to the way people work. Improvements that help them become more adaptable, focused, and creative individuals who deliver more inspired and impactful work.

So think closely about the devices you empower your employees to use. Because their impact will be felt far beyond the periphery.
