The future of work is a tech (and management) challenge
Excerpt from computerworld.com
Even Apple must surely now see that the future of work is a technology challenge. Solving that challenge will demand new generations of office equipment designed to support much deeper experiences of remote and hybrid collaboration, and solutions must reflect the needs of employees.
Searching for a collaboration superstar
Corel offers up fresh insights from its Collaboration Survey, which polled 2,027 office workers in the US, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Australia. It found that 54% of enterprise employees believe poor collaboration tools are a problem and 70% believe they limit productivity and waste time.
So, what’s the state of play?
Reading between the lines, businesses need to think much more deeply to ensure the tools they supply are appropriate and sufficiently good that workers will use them. They need to provide ease of use and functionality, and people need to be properly trained in how to use them.
Corel’s data shows:
- 27% claim businesses aren’t investing in the right tools.
- 25% agree that collaboration tools have poor functionality.
- 22% of employees say they aren’t using the tools at their disposal.
- 21% of employees state they aren’t trained to use the tools.
