Late last month I attended a CEO forum on Digital Transformation here in NYC. Most understand the need for digital transformation, but that it is a huge change to implement; Even the Gen Z employees are apprehensive. What started as going paperless has moved to digitizing everything – Some even think that laptops will fade away and everything will move to tablets.
Companies that have moved to full SaaS solutions are saving money and time. Employees are more engaged too. Imagine having a scheduling solution that is customized to you, as an employee. Through biometrics and geofencing you quickly clock in. With an internal messaging system, you request extra shifts to earn some extra spending money. You can request a few hours off to attend a doctor’s appointment. You can check your schedule on your phone rather than having to log onto a computer.
That is a digital transformation.
Now think of yourself as the front-line manager. You see where employees are via geolocation. You know that buddy punching is eliminated through biometric punching. With the internal messaging system, you are onsite at one location and able to answer questions about shift coverage of another location, in real-time. You track job type, skill sets, and job costing on your phone in real-time.
That is a digital transformation.
