Persol depends on Jabra audio for flexible working

As part of their goal to use technology to help every employee do their best work, Persol have opened up hybrid working options, with 70% of their work force working remotely and joining calls from homes or cafes. “Every new employee receives a laptop and an Evolve 20, so there is no headache keeping track of who does and doesn’t have one” explains Mr Komiya from Group IT Headquarters. Jabra Evolve 20 headsets feature an incredible noise-canceling microphone, which helps makes hybrid work easier for staff. Mr Hirawa enthuses “With the Evolve 20, even if someone is in a busy place like a café, the other people on the call can’t hear any distracting background noise. I’ve been in meetings with people who were in a cafe or a diner, and they would ask, ‘Hey, is this cafe too loud?’ or ‘Are the people at the table behind me too noisy?’ but I couldn’t hear a thing. Now no-one worries about it. You don’t have to search around for a quiet spot, you can just sit down and join a meeting, wherever you are.”

By investing in Evolve 20 and opening up remote locations for meetings, Persol not only boosted the efficiency of those meetings, but also freed up their previously fully booked internal conference rooms. As Mr Komiya reveals; “In the past, we often had to postpone or reschedule meetings because our conference rooms were fully booked. Now people can use their Evolve 20 to join from wherever they are, so we almost never have to reschedule due to lack of meeting space, and the number of meetings we can have has increased as a result.”

For those people meeting in the conference rooms, Persol have also been benefitting from the superior audio performance of the Jabra Speak 510 speakerphone.
