Optimizing Digital workflows in a Hybrid Working Environment is Key to Success

The pandemic is refusing to subside hence organisations are revamping their businesses through hybrid model of working as a long term solution with technology being the biggest enabler. With work from home being the new normal, the line between personal and professional life has blurred. Times have changed: Nobody is interested in the 40-hour work week and overly long hours anymore.

your energy into, and that has projects that challenge and encourage each individual. The reality is usually a different one: Dusty organisational structures and lengthy processes dominate everyday working life. Organisations that have not adapted to the new working ways in this unprecedented time, have witnessed a high percentage of employees that are unsatisfied with the rules and inflexible processes. The image of the workplace which is becoming more and more digitized and self-determining – seems to be steadily diverging from their own workplace. Frequent sick leave, terminations or a toxic office rumour mill are not uncommon. That is a challenge to any company, considering that their strength is primarily driven by the know-how and commitment of their employees themselves. The goal of any organisation in this period should be to improve employee motivation and satisfaction in the long term to continue with the optimum business efficiency. MAY 2021
