Integrating Technology
Many organizations went from asking themselves if a remote work environment was a possibility, to it becoming the only viable option. While it was a big transition for most, technology played a huge role in the success of this workplace transformation. With 55% of employees in favor of a mixture of home and office working, integrating technology will be crucial for connecting the hybrid workforce. Technology has also become a major component in supporting the flexible and digital workplaces. Above all, technology will be the dominant enabler of solutions that enhance the performance and productivity of both workers and the workplace.
The Flexible Workplace
A flexible workplace provides employees with the option to work when and where is best suited for them. The importance of choice in the workplace rises as 70% of workers want continued flexibility to work from home.
Flexible work was already a crucial workplace strategy before the 2020 pandemic. Now, more companies are implementing increased flexibility as employees have proved they can work from home AND do it well. A flexible work environment has many benefits. It helps workers achieve greater work-life balance, leading to increased employee satisfaction and improved morale. That in turn means employee turnover is reduced, as is the cost to recruit and train new hires. Integrating technology in your office will help support and connect your flexible workers as their location changes.
The Digital Workplace
A digital workplace incorporates all the technologies people use to get work done in today’s workplace. Such platforms contain all the applications, data, tools, and collaboration features employees need to perform work within a secure online interface that they can access anywhere, anytime and on any device. A digital workplace platform allows you to:
- Collaborate with team members
- Manage projects and tasks with full visibility
- Resolve issues, tickets, defects, and service requests
- Automate standard and repetitive business processes that require approvals
- Integrate third-party applications
- Auto-generate reports to make better data-driven decisions
As the workplace continues to evolve, and employee expectations shift, organizations that do not embrace the digital workplace risk falling behind.
