Having the right tech gadgets can make all the difference when it comes to keeping teams productive and connected, whether they’re working in the office or remotely. The right tools can streamline work and help limit downtime, allowing teams to focus and make progress in their activities.
In this blog, Lauren Evans, Head of Technology Solutions at Winc, shares her top 10 gadgets designed to boost productivity in the workplace.
Enhance your communication and audio experience.
“One of the most important tools for any virtual meeting is a headset. We’ve all experienced a virtual call with background noise or muffled sound, struggling to hear the presenter or getting distracted by static. It’s not only frustrating, it can also completely derail a meeting,” says Lauren.
“A good AV setup drives collaboration, helping everyone feel like they’re on the same page, even if they’re not in the same room. When the tech works well, it creates a seamless experience where presentations are sharp, video is clear, and audio is crisp—ultimately making for more productive meetings and better collaboration.”
Lauren recommends the Jabra Corded Evolve2 40 SE MS USB-C, which is designed to block out background noise, keeping you focused and engaged in conversations.
For high-quality sound and advanced microphone technology, Lauren recommends the Jabra Speak2 55 MS Speakerphone. “With up to 12 hours of battery life and four beamforming noise-cancelling microphones, it’s designed to keep conversations crystal clear,” says Lauren.
For an immersive wireless experience, Lauren recommends breaking free from tangles of traditional headsets with the POLY Voyager 4320 OTH Wireless UC Stereo Headset W/charging Stand. “Its noise-isolating design block out distractions so you can stay focused, while Bluetooth® technology lets you switch between devices seamlessly without missing a beat,” says Lauren.
Stay connected and powered throughout the day.
Keeping your devices powered and connected is the best way to ensure a seamless workflow.
Lauren suggests the Verbatim USB Gan Charger 100w 3c+1a White, which generates less heat for safer and more efficient charging. “It’s up to 40% smaller than traditional chargers, making it the perfect travel companion for work on the go,” says Lauren.
To streamline your productivity and multitasking, Lauren recommends converting a single USB-C port into five versatile ports with the Verbatim Cmh-05 USB-C Multiport Hub HDMI Rj45 2 X USB-A USB-C Pd. “With this hub’s power delivery support and pass-through charging capabilities, you will never worry about running out of battery during critical tasks.”
For when USB-C isn’t an option, consider the Sansai 4-Way Power Board PAD-421SW with Individual Switches and Surge Protection to power bulky items, such as monitor displays that require a plug.”
Optimise efficiency with the right work setup.
A well-optimised workspace can significantly boost productivity by improving comfort and reducing strain.
Lauren recommends the Logitech Mx Keys Combo For Business (Gen 2) for its stable and quiet typing experience, thanks to its single metal plate design and near-silent mouse clicks with 90% less noise. “The included MX Palm Rest offers premium cushioning, making it the perfect companion for all day comfort.”
To ease any potential hunches from a small screen, elevate your workday with the LG 32MR50C-B 31.5 In Full HD Curved Monitor with AMD FreeSync. “It offers a 31.5 full HD curved display for vibrant and accurate colour with a 100Hz Refresh Rate delivering less motion blur,” says Lauren.
When you need to step away from your desk and work on the go, there’s the Verbatim Portable Monitor 14 In Full Hd 1080p. It can enhance your productivity and entertainment experience by providing a secondary screen for your laptop or an enlarged display for your phone or tablet. “It also comes with a HDMI cable, power supply and neoprene protective sleeve,” says Lauren.
Video and collaboration tools to make things happen faster.
The Logitech Rally Bar Mini + Tap IP – Bundle is a great all in one solution for small meeting or huddle rooms. “It is simple to use, manage, and deploy at scale, delivering the capabilities of larger video bars like the Logitech Rally Bar yet in a compact form for smaller spaces,” says Lauren.
When you’ve got the right tech—whether it’s quality headsets, AV equipment, or the right peripherals—it’s easier for teams to stay connected and focused. Whether you’re brainstorming ideas or making important decisions, these tools help keep everything running smoothly and ensure that all team members have the best experience possible.
