What is a Huddle Room?

You may ask yourself, what is this Huddle Room thing I’ve been hearing so much about and what could its impact be on my business?

A Huddle Room is a small closed-off meeting area, typically seating between 2-6 people. Many businesses are going for fewer stand-alone offices and trending towards these shared workspaces.  Huddle Rooms have shown to increase collaboration as well as productivity. According to the market trends, Huddle Rooms are on pace to replace over 65% of all traditional conference rooms by the year 2022.  Huddle Rooms are typically equipped with video conferencing and teleconferencing equipment which make virtual meetings not only possible but easy!

Now that you know what a Huddle Room is you may be asking yourself “So how does this help my business?”  The biggest impact a Huddle Room will have on your business is cost savings. Huddle Rooms are cheaper to equip with the right furnishings and equipment than a large-sized conference room.  Another attractive benefit?  Quick collaboration.  When conferencing equipment is uncomplicated and easy to use it will simply be used more often which leads us to the next benefit: Collaboration.  Huddle rooms provide workers with a closed-off, quiet place to meet and collaborate.   Co-worker or client in a different state or country?  No problem.  Sure, a phone call will work, but there is no mistaking that a video conference will ALWAYS keep participants engaged, making meetings faster, easier, and much more effective.
