They hybrid work model has redefined the way we think about work. Yet, despite helping to saving many businesses during the pandemic, hybrid work isn’t a one-size-fits-all model.
The agility of hybrid work enables employees to choose how and where they want to work. It offers the autonomy for employees to design their working environment in a way that is flexible and convenient both for themselves and within company policies. Both employers and employees have seen benefit from the hybrid strategy.
As we’ve seen during the last few years, implementing a hybrid work model often leads to both happier and healthier employees and profit for companies. In the latest reading, from a February 2023 Gallup poll, hybrid work trends reveal six in ten exclusively remote employees say they are extremely likely to search for employment elsewhere if they are not allowed remote flexibility.
Technology that Stacks up
However, one of the biggest challenges of hybrid work is having the proper technology tools that will provide consumers the flexibility to work both in the office and remotely.
Adopting your business to accommodate both in and out of office work requires a suite of technology and tools that assimilate transparently with each other. Without these tools in place, any attempts to transform the workplace will likely be thwarted. With “hot desking” and “hoteling” rising in popularity, some people don’t have permanent desks which provide additional challenges.
The Kensington SD5700T Hybrid Docking Station provide consumers with the plug and play flexibility. The Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station has one upstream Thunderbolt 4/USB4 port to connect to your computer, and three downstream Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports to connect other devices, including external displays.
This dock seamlessly enhances the productivity of professionals working in the office or home by enabling them to connect multiple accessories. The SD5700T is the first of its kind Thunderbolt™ 4 desktop docking station that is compatible with both Windows 10 or later and macOS 11 (Big Sur) devices.
Small enough to fit into your computer bag, you can seamlessly connect multiple devices and monitors to your laptop. The dock has a cool gray outer layer, made up of anodized aluminum with a fine-brushed finish. With 11-Ports of connectivity this device will address any port shortcomings of your laptop. Despite the extensive amount of ports, installation and operation is as simple as plug and play.
What makes this dock distinctly different is that this Thunderbolt™ 4 dock can connect up to three additional Thunderbolt devices directly (up to five in total) while providing transfer speeds up to 40Gbps, up to Dual 4K video output, and audio.
The 90W power delivery on the SD5700T ensures that you have enough juice to power your device when it is connected to the dock.
