Adapting to the Changing Workforce with Commercial Automation
Enhance Operations and Well-Being in Your Office
Businesses have faced tremendous changes these past few years, with the office environment sustaining much of the impact. And, as with any change, there have been benefits and challenges. Operators and owners swiftly addressed the imperative: enhancing productivity and collaboration in a hybrid workforce, all while crafting an environment that attracts and retains valued staff. As with many things today, it was technology that emerged with the solution, with audio-video manufacturers providing seamless solutions for huddle spaces.
Many businesses embraced commercial automation, shaping workplaces that employees genuinely desire. In our exploration, we uncover the positive impact this technology brings to businesses in the Bay Area.

Optimizing Your Office Environment for Today's Workforce
Today's workforce is looking for balance in their lives. They focus on well-being, unique experiences, community building, and sustainability. Automation helps create this environment, a community space that enhances engagement and loyalty.
Many businesses are focusing on lighting, particularly as more studies show the effects on health, well-being, and productivity. A survey published in the Harvard Business Review revealed that access to natural light and outdoor views was the number one attribute desired by employees.
While we don't all have stunning views of the Bay Area, we do have access to the latest lighting technology. Using advanced LED lighting, you can offer your employees natural light. This interior lighting shifts throughout the day, aligning with daylight's changing color and intensity.
Commercial Automation Defined
Automation manages this light and your shades, climate, security, music, and displays. We'll program the system to create the perfect environment based on the time of day or activity. When the first person arrives, they can press the 'Good Morning' icon on a touchscreen, and the lights illuminate, the temperature adjusts, high-performance music streams through in-ceiling speakers, and any displays automatically turn on.
When the last person leaves, you'll know the doors are locked, the security system's armed, the shades are lowered, and the technology's put to sleep because the system does it for you. Commercial automation also keeps an eye on the bottom line by turning off lights in unoccupied rooms and adjusting the shades and lighting to maintain the perfect level of natural light.
You can also access your system from anywhere via your mobile device.
Flexible Scheduling & Collaboration
Flexible scheduling is here to stay. Is your business equipped to support the hybrid workforce? Critical investments include a robust network infrastructure and video-conferencing solutions that offer an in-person experience, ease of collaboration, and technology that's effortless to operate.
Whether a boardroom, conference room, or huddle space, automation offers one-touch control. Press the 'Video Conferencing' or 'Remote Client' button, and the lights dim, the shades adjust, the audio and video turn on, and in-person and off-site attendees connect.
