Empowering the New Digital Workplace
As employee needs, expectations and experiences evolve as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business value of ensuring employees feel connected, informed, and provided with proper access to the tools they need to be productive from any device or location has become more and more apparent.
A recent study from Qualtrics reveals that 55 percent expect their respective industries will transform for the better after the pandemic eases due to the anticipated increased focus on innovation (62 percent) and new uses of technology (73 percent) in the workplace. Moreover, 78 percent of workers believe it is highly important that their employers listen to their feedback during a crisis
For a company to continue to thrive in a volatile and disruptive environment (such as now), it is clear that putting employees at the center of what powers the business is an important factor that HR leaders need to recognise and take action on.
With SAP Work Zone for HR, SAP expects to help companies worldwide by providing access to everything employees need to work on any device, personalised and consumer-grade user experience, and deeper insights into the employee experience.
