- A more engaged and productive workforce. Many of the same reasons for making employees’ physical spaces more pleasant apply to their digital environment. Better digital experiences make it easier for employees to do everything to a lot of things — e.g., connect to the organization’s mission & culture, develop their careers, figure out what benefits are available and right for them when a life event such as a marriage or the adoption of a child happens [or is about to happen].
- A more efficient and productive back office. Automation of routine tasks (e.g., scheduling interviews, answering frequently asked questions about benefits, chasing down signatures, correcting data entry errors) results in time savings, which can be translated into dollars. Hours and dollars can be reallocated to more value-add work and make life more fulfilling for people in corporate functions like HR, Finance and IT.
While some of the technologies described are just finding their way into the workplace, all are in practical use today and will be mainstream in HR before we know it. So, while I’m sure your employees would like you just give them some of that cash, the smart investment is probably giving them something that will make the warm feelings last a lot longer, a new employee experience for the digital age. There’s never been a better time.
