Introduction
I’m happy to share the outcomes of my analysis on the video employment relationship. The findings present that there’s a excessive degree of satisfaction amongst workers who work in a digital setting, and I imagine will probably be attainable for organizations to embrace digital transformation with out sacrificing private interplay between workers. To be taught extra about this matter, please check out my findings under:
Why did you conduct the examine?
We wished to know how this alteration is affecting the office and what it means for people and organizations.
The outcomes of your survey had been fascinating. Are you able to share some highlights?
You’ll be able to learn the complete report right here. The outcomes of your survey had been fascinating. Are you able to share some highlights?
The examine was carried out by a consulting agency, they usually surveyed over 1,000 workers throughout quite a lot of industries (together with retail). They discovered that “workers who really feel like their firm is digitally remodeled are extra happy with their jobs than those that don’t”. In different phrases: firms that embrace digital transformation have happier workers than firms that don’t embrace digital transformation.
What was essentially the most stunning discovering in your analysis?
Essentially the most stunning discovering was that workers had been extra involved about dropping face-to-face interplay than they had been about dropping their job. Workers wish to work with individuals, not simply machines. They worth the non-public interplay they’ve with their colleagues and managers, and are frightened that know-how will take away this chance for human connection.
What do you assume are the implications for organizations which might be contemplating making a change to their workforce?
Whereas it’s tempting to take a “massive information” method and simply implement every kind of recent applied sciences with out occupied with what they imply in your group, I feel it is a mistake.
One of many greatest errors I see organizations make is assuming that as a result of they’ll measure one thing by an app or another technological machine, they understand how properly it really works. This isn’t all the time true; many occasions individuals don’t wish to provide you with their actual suggestions on one thing as a result of they’re frightened about hurting your emotions or making themselves look unhealthy in entrance of others. It’s vital that earlier than making any modifications, you ask workers what they assume will occur–and hear fastidiously!
How can firms transfer ahead with digital transformation applications whereas additionally ensuring they don’t lose face-to-face interplay between workers?
You should use know-how to make face-to-face interactions extra environment friendly. For instance, telepresence means that you can have digital conferences the place everyone seems to be in other places (and even totally different nations). That approach, you will get the advantages of seeing one another’s faces whereas additionally saving money and time on journey prices.
You may also use know-how in order that there are extra alternatives for face-to-face interactions. The video platform Zoom has created an app known as Zoom Rooms that lets individuals meet face-to-face over video calls with out having to obtain any software program or do something particular with their telephones–they simply want an web connection and a room sufficiently big for everybody who needs one! This makes it straightforward for groups all over the world who don’t have a lot time collectively in particular person however nonetheless wish to work collectively successfully as one unit on initiatives like this one right here in the present day.”
Digital transformation can occur with out sacrificing private interplay between workers.
“Digital transformation can occur with out sacrificing private interplay between workers. Digital transformation isn’t just about know-how and effectivity, it’s additionally about enhancing communication, collaboration, worker engagement and retention. The video employment relationship is an instance of how we’re utilizing know-how to enhance the office expertise.”
Conclusion
The long run is vibrant for the video employment relationship. It’s an thrilling time to be a part of this business, and we look ahead to seeing the way it continues to evolve over time.
