Shortways was the proud partner of the 2021 edition of Club Talentsoft, a webcast organized by the well-known Talent Management Cloud solutions software.
Talentsoft’s vocation being to support its clients in their digital HR transformation, this year’s theme was: « What does HR digital transformation really look like? ».
This theme, which is more relevant than ever to global news, is also part of the Talentsoft company’s current news, recently acquired by Cegid, in order to strengthen its position as a European leader and its worldwide expansion on the Payroll and Human Resources management solutions market.
Between sharing of experiences and good practices, discussion sessions on the challenges of digital transformation, and software innovations, let’s have a look on the main ideas developed and to be retained from this event…
THE MAIN IDEAS DEVELOPED 💬
Digital transformation and the « flow of work » 👩🏻💻
To be successful, digital transformation must be carried out in the smoothest and most transparent way, in order to fit perfectly and directly into the daily work of employees, in their workflow or “flow of work”.
Employees, at the heart of digital transformation strategies 💙
To be successful, you must also support and coach employees in the digital transformation. Not all of them are yet adept at new technologies, and the best way to know if the changes have been adopted is still to control them: through training, gathering feedback, and by ensuring that support for all affected populations is provided.
The employee must therefore be at the heart of digital transformation strategies, which will not succeed without having fully getting them involved on the cause.
Corporate culture and user experience, key success factors 🔐
This is why a digital culture and a strong focus on the user experience must be brought and carried out within companies.
From the recruitment, onboarding processes must be designed in this new digital logic, in order to engage users, enhance / maximize their digital skills as quickly as possible, and thus make them adhere to this digital culture which must prosper.
UX, the User eXperience, is a key success factor. The 3 key points given during the session are clear:
« Keep it simple, give visibility, smooth processes on all devices »
The smartphone revolution 📲
We know it: digital is evolving rapidly. But employees’ expectations are changing just as much!
Increasingly familiar with the use of smartphones, their thinking about use has become more spontaneous and their use more fluid and efficient, thus changing their standards and expectations towards them.
Indeed, accustomed to now have access to more and more information, more quickly and easily via these technologies, they want to find the same level of information and ease of use from technologies and processes used in their companies.
Adaptability and autonomy are therefore 2 key skills to favour among employees on these tools. We must therefore anticipate when employees will have needs: during onboarding, changes in tools, skills needs, etc.
Finally, communication must also evolve: there is no need for “more” communication, but “better communication”: ensure that it is well received, well understood, easy and quick to access, attractive, personalized, etc.
