With the widespread rollout of remote and hybrid work, online meetings have become part of the daily routine for many employees. But not all employees perceive these virtual meetings in the same way. According to a recent survey, young people in particular have issues with this practice.

From Zoom to Meet to Skype, companies have a wide range of tools at their disposal to enable their employees to meet "face-to-face." But not everyone appreciates meeting up with colleagues via screens, as the 2023 edition of Jabra's annual report* confirms.
