New Zealand's Collaboration Scorecard

How Collaborative is New Zealand Really?

Are NZ workplaces keeping pace with the rest of APAC in the new era of collaboration?

With hybrid work now the norm, organisations across New Zealand are rethinking how people connect, communicate, and collaborate.

In this episode of Lifting the Lid on Technology, Jason MacBride, Regional Director ANZ at Neat, joins Barry White to unpack the latest IDC APAC Team Collaboration Benchmarks Report. He explores how NZ businesses compare with their regional peers and how Neat is supporting customers with innovative workplace collaboration solutions that simplify hybrid meetings, enhance inclusivity, and enable smarter, more sustainable experiences.

“ When you’re remote, you shouldn’t become invisible. The ability to be seen changes the whole engagement of the meeting ”
