Implement a Digital Workplace: the secrets of its success
In high-performance sports competitions, the motivation and commitment of the teams to achieve the objectives is the key to success. Whether it is a soccer team or a Formula 1 team, “the chemistry” they achieve becomes a model and example to be followed by all organizations.
The new technological wave, with the Digital Workplace, are
helping to rethink work models in full digital transformation, and open the
door to new options to increase productivity, motivation and commitment of
teams, that "chemistry" that is called in English engagement .
Technology is making possible the redefinition of
workspaces, with a greater presence of multiple digital applications to which
workers go to execute different internal procedures or in front of clients. To
facilitate their integration and access, companies are equipping themselves
with Digital Workplace (DWP) , an environment that also facilitates
communication and teamwork.
The secrets of the success of a Digital Workplace
When we think about implementing Digital Workplace , so that
it improves the engagement and productivity of the teams, we aim for the
platform to be.
• Simple, intuitive and easy to use.
• Agile.
• Comprehensive, which provides the
necessary tools and information.
• Updated.
• Accessible from anywhere.
• Collaborative, which encourages
collaboration and participation of the entire organization.
• Scalable and reconfigurable.
• Self-manageable and customization by
the user.
We achieve this by following ten keys for the design and
implementation of a Digital Workplace. Therefore, it is highlighted that the
platform facilitates aspects such as access to the necessary tools for each
worker or the identification of the “who's who” in the organization through
directories and personal files. In addition, the work environment, to generate
engagement , must facilitate communication , collaboration and recognition, as
well as specific and common objectives.
Another great advantage of a Digital Workplace is that it
can also be a Cognitive Workplace . The Digital Workplace allows you to trace
the navigation practice towards your applications and content by the entire
organization. This experience, when applying artificial intelligence , will
allow to learn about the functioning of the work environment, how workers use
it. And it will also be the ideal environment to increase company automation
with both RPA engines and virtual assistants.
Benefits of implementing a Digital Workplace
The benefits of implementing a Digital Workplace are
extensive. They manage, thanks to their usability , to improve individual
productivity and collaboration between multidisciplinary teams, increasing the
relationship with the company. The adaptability of a Digital Workplace will
also facilitate the transformation of the company culture towards a digital
culture.
This transformation also facilitates the coexistence of the
four generations of workers who live together today in companies. Each of these
generations has different needs, especially the latest to join, Generation Z ,
used to new digital communication and collaboration environments. Incorporating
workers of this generation will increase both the level of demand towards the
Digital Workplace and their level of use.
Implementing the Digital Workplace in our companies will
facilitate their digital transformation and allow them to take advantage of
artificial intelligence and virtual assistants. In this way, they will improve
communication and team cohesion, thereby increasing employee engagement and
productivity.
