After many long months away, you may be looking forward to finally returning to the office and being among colleagues again. But, if you’re an employer, before you can even consider asking your team to come back to an in-person setting, you have to make sure your workspace is optimized to be as safe as possible.

Make sure your setup sets you up for success.

A new 8x8 eBook, Creating Digital DNA with Microsoft Teams, discusses what IT leaders think about MS Teams, as well as the platform's role as part of a unified communications strategy that also includes Contact Centre.

Eliminate all the fuss with a high-quality headset that will deliver audio straight to your ears (without irritating those around you) and make sure that you’re coming through crystal clear, too.

Fatigue, stress, lack of motivation—we're all feeling it in the pandemic.
