Working more productively thanks to ICT manuals

For organizations, productive employees are crucial to stay ahead of competitors. An increasingly important component of employee productivity is efficient and targeted use of IT. This is caused by increasing annual “screen time” of employees, or the length of time they work with digital devices. Up-to-date and centrally available guides enable employees to work more productively with IT.

 

Increased digitization of work

Almost every job takes increase the percentage of digital activities. Digital support, such as devices and applications, is used to monitor, carry out and supervise digital activities. The benefits of working digitally are achieved by organizations in the following areas: information accessibility, information exchange, information sharing and information analysis.

 

Not every employee is immediately happy with working digitally

The fact that organizations make IT facilities available to employees does not mean that they will use it automatically. In addition, when employees use new IT facilities, the question is whether the IT facilities are being used properly and efficiently. Especially employees with a low willingness to change, fear of new technology and underdeveloped digital skills will not immediately be happy about the idea of to work more “digitally”.

User adoption: use and acceptance of IT

This is because the use of IT facilities by employees determines whether the intended benefits of an IT investment are actually realized. Nowadays, inventive application instruction platforms make it possible to support employees regardless of time and place with up-to-date IT manuals, so that user adoption is significantly improved.
