This is a good topic. My thinking is digitalization can make huge opportunities for employees and employers. digitalization can bring a lot of technical improvements for the organization. If some organizations use that kind of technology they can improve productivity and HR smartly.
ReplyDeleteYes. I agree with you Thushara. Both parties should have a proper vision and they should focus on what they need to achieve. Employees should know the expectation of the organization. Productivity and efficiency can be enhanced than the manual process. Organization should provide relevant guidance and required knowledge about the digitalized systems. Otherwise they may not have a good result by digitalizing.
DeleteSome of employees are experts in their scopes but don’t have IT literacy and then they may feel to left the organization because lack of IT literacy. In this scenario organization should take every possible effort to retain such valued employees by training & educating in order to familiarize to the digital platforms.
In the organization Learning and development measures should implement .Then they can achieve organization goals in expected level.
During this Covid 19 pandemic many of the employees had to do their work without presenting to office. Simply we say it as work from home. But before this pandemic there were no proper arrangements for facing this kind of situation. Therefore HR had to plan new ways for enhance the employee engagement with the usage of digital technology. I also think during this process always HR should plan the methods which are easy and user friendly for the employees. Otherwise employee engagement may not exist as they hope. It will highly effect for the growth of company and achievement of company goals. During this process by depending on the employees needs, company culture and internal communication HR should choose correct employee engagement tools.
ReplyDeleteEach and every business entity should care about the employees’ protection. Then only can organizations go for the company goals with the workforce. The best thing companies can do these days is to use digital platforms to prevent employees from being unnecessarily exposed to the society. It makes protection to the employees and healthy workforce is a wealth to the organization.
DeleteDuring this pandemic situation, organizations are evolving many engagement activities like online family engagement practices, virtual learning and development, online team building activities, webinars with industry experts, online conduct weekly alignment sessions, team meet-ups over video conference for lunch, short online game sessions, virtual challenges and competitions, online courses, appreciation sessions, communication exercises, live sessions for new-skill training, online counseling sessions, recognition and acknowledgment session, webinars dealing with anxiety and stress, providing online guidance for exercise and meditation, social interactions in a virtual office, classrooms training modules digitally, e-learning modules, and many more creative learning sessions. Work-fromhome regime engagement activities are very fruitful for employees as well as for organizations. Those organizations doing these kinds of engagement activities for their employees are learning new skills and developing themselves. Employees are feeling committed to the organization and stay motivated during this tough time of COVID-19 pandemic.
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic related to engagement. Digitalizing employee engagement is very useful currently due to the ongoing global crisis around Covid-19. Most of the employees work from home. Hence digitalization is a useful tool to engage with employees during pandemic. Employees share best practice and interact across departments and geographies through internal digital channels. They are empowered to use social tools to engage with customers. And, they use their own personal accounts to amplify what the company is doing. However, since employees can misuse this opportunity, HR department should implement proper dos and don’ts according organization rules.
ReplyDeleteYes Chanindu, organizations needs to use developed employee engagement tools to build social relationships among employees specially in these days. Most large corporates introduced modern, user friendly, technically developed systems to maximize employee engagement & satisfaction.
