A new approach to the Digital Workplace
A new approach to the Digital Workplace
The dynamic between employers and employees has fundamentally changed. To attract and retain the top talent amid a skilled labour shortage, organisations must prioritise having a strong Digital Workplace strategy in place. Perhaps more than ever before, employees now call the shots: they want working schedules, locations and modern technology that enable productivity and a healthy work-life balance. If existing or prospective employers can’t provide a good digital employee experience, skilled workers will simply look elsewhere.
While employees demand flexibility and remote work, this has to be balanced with business objectives. Many employees who work from home too often struggle to build working relationships or gain the knowledge they need to maximise their productivity, due to lack of in-person contact. This is where having an effective Digital Workplace strategy becomes crucial, allowing organisations to enable hybrid work models that meet employee demands while still facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Key challenges in a changing landscape
Varying workplace demands: every employee is different in what they want inside and outside of work, so a flexible approach is essential for satisfying everyone.
The need for a detailed hybrid strategy: businesses need to provide everything an employee needs to be fully productive, wherever and whenever they’re working.
Decreasing talent pool: the best employees are getting harder to attract and retain, which means competition for them is increasing, as are their demands for more flexible and employee-friendly working arrangements.
Long-term talent backfilling: many experienced employees left their industries during the pandemic, and that experience has not been replaced. Training up newer employees to the same skill level is a task that will take several years.
Escalating salaries: wage rates are increasing across the board, but particularly so among top talent, which is making it difficult or even impossible for some organisations to bring in the skills they need.
New security vulnerabilities: different devices and connection points can introduce an extra layer of vulnerability that cybercriminals can exploit; user access demands have to be balanced with keeping data, systems and applications safe.
