Every day new devices pop onto the scene promising change and innovation. For someone who’s focused on the expansion of their organization, staying up to date with the latest technology that can support personal and business growth is essential. Whether it’s in a simple or a major way, some of these technologies carry with them the power to change how we do business altogether.

Take a look at our top five gotta have tech gadgets. 

1. Virtual Reality Headsets

Given that we live in a time where in-person interaction is increasingly difficult, finding unique and engaging ways to interact with team members is really important. We’ve been monitoring the developments in the Virtual Reality space and it seems that the technology price point and social/health environment are ripe for much wider adoption. Over the next several months, you will likely see a significant amount of events moving into this medium. Altspace owned by Microsoft is credited with creating the first social platform for virtual reality. It is quickly becoming  a very robust way to have VR meetings and events.

2. Bluetooth Headphones

Now that we’re doing virtual meetings and relying on our phones and computers to communicate more than ever, the gadget you can’t do without is a good pair of headphones and earphones. They offer convenience since you can answer your calls hands-free and carry out other activities at the same time. You can also work on the go. This makes it important to invest in a solid pair of Bluetooth headphones or earphones with functionalities like answering calls and connecting to multiple devices.

3. A Webcam

Having a webcam means that communications you would otherwise have over email or over the phone can now be conducted face-to-face.  The ability to monitor your conversational partner’s expressions and body language helps you to better target what you’re saying for maximum impact.  Although it may not be an  immediate need for your business, you’ll feel more professional and ready for conference calls. Having the right equipment makes all the difference in your confidence level and how you portray yourself through virtual meetings.

4. A Self-Charging Phone Case

We practically live on our phones, so keeping them charged can be a challenge sometimes.  You never feel this more than when you have 5% battery left to snap an amazing video or make an important phone call.  Mobile battery charging cases are the easier way to make sure that your phone can last when you need it to, while combining the protection of a case and the convenience of mobile power.  All you have to do is press the Power button on the back and it will begin charging.  You can’t always plan what’s going to happen next, so having a fully charged phone at all times is a huge, positive game-changer. 

 5. Air Purifiers

With Covid and data about how it’s transmitted, airflow and purification are especially important. Air purifiers can refresh stale air, reducing the chances of health issues caused by indoor pollutants, which can trigger respiratory infections, neurological problems, or aggravate symptoms in asthma sufferers.  Quality air purifiers eliminate several types of indoor air pollutants, keeping us healthy.  As company’s transition back to a hybrid office schedule, it’s important to have air purification devices placed in multiple key areas in the office. It also provides some level of visual confirmation that care has gone into the work environment and that employee safety is paramount.
