We believe categorically that new communciation and collaboration technologies can drive imporved workforce productivity and efficiency. We support this conviction with practical business tools. Our Connected Work Jumstart Programme takes the needs of today's workforce as its strting point and demonstrates how to exploit new communciation and collaboration functions in the workspace.

Getronics' Approach

The Connected Work Jumpstart programma compirses business and workforce needs assessments. We ask:

• How well do you ICT Services match the workforce needs and expectations?
• What new functions would increase agility, communication and collaboration?

Our analysts collect information through a focused series of stakeholder interviews and through an on-line employee survey. Interviews and survey cover four themes:

• search and find
• anywhere and anytime
• collaboration
• communication

We present results on a spider web plot, mapping the current workforce experience (blue line) against the desired state. We then calculate the gap between the current and the desired situation. This produces a prioritised list of how the workforce and stakeholders regard their own needs. The example provided here is from the same service company.

 

Why take part in the programme?

Too many ICT decisions are still made on instinct – especially when it comes to less easily measured productivity values. This program helps you line up decisions using empirical evidence. It provides a structured overview of your employee needs and expectations. It provides a clear indication of improvement potential. Most importantly, it identifies practical next steps.
