Avail Kalfin the executive director of the Euro found Foundation, founded in 1975 to improve the living and working conditions of workers in the European Union. Thus, he is well positioned to comment on the impact of technology on the workplace. His research-led organization is focused on labor market changes and often these changes can be slow and steady. Well, with the closure, the changes accelerated. The proliferation of video calls is just one example of the many rapid changes that are taking place. “There are three reasons for this change. The automation starts, when the machines help the job. Then there is digitization, in which part or all of an employee's work is mechanically converted. Finally, there is a situation where the machine is in the process of being processed and the staff is performing computer-controlled tasks, ”said Kalfin. “Mostly any kind of work can be replaced by a machine and especially will improve the product - but that is only one measure we need to consider. We have learned in recent years that there are other issues to consider including ethics, working conditions, balance of life, stress management and mental health. ” PwC partner and human and collective responsibility Gerard McDonough, colleague cites the latest Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey of his organization, showing that people are less concerned about whether technology can replace their role and are more concerned about the lack of opportunity to work or learn from partners with advanced technical or digital skills. . "People are demonstrating a willingness to embrace digital training," McDonough said, "so firms must create learning possibilities." “It is also important to note that not everyone likes food or the ability to use new technologies quickly. There is a need for ethical and cultural change in the workplace that needs to be taken seriously to ensure that no one is left behind and that technology is truly rooted as a source of work, which enhances human knowledge in the workplace. ” Deloitte's chief financial officer in Ireland, Orla Stafford, also supports his views on the study, this time a report by Deloitte's Tech Trends 2022, the latest in a series now in its 13th year. Deloitte’s research identifies critical technology trends in which it believes organizations should listen as they move forward, including data sharing, vertical cloud, blockchain, automating scale, cyber AI and stack technology. In particular, working away from flexibility in the workplace has led to increased competition between technical talents, as employees are motivated to take common steps when seeking a job that offers better compensation, work life balance or workplace standards. "These 'positive resilience' is expected to rise - a Deloitte study predicts that IT work is expected to triple by an average of 2029 by 11.5 percent, leading to more than half a million new technologies. at this time, ”Stafford said. Kyle Gribben, head of digital services at Matheson, considers technological change as a bonus in the legal profession, where a variety of new opportunities are emerging for both recent graduates and advocates seeking potential change. For those with a computer science background there are roles in software and application development, vendor management, data analysis and more; for those with a legal background there is a need for project managers, legal technology coordinators, document experts and the automation process, and indeed the list will only grow. He emphasizes that communication with education is essential to measuring change. "Both employers and employees must consider their future prospects. For employers, there are sets of skills that will be needed soon, and vice versa that will be completed over time. Where possible, employees should be aware of the future plans of their employer so that they can seek to develop skills and retrain if necessary. "Of course, not everyone will choose to do this, but clear communication along the way to recovery is preferable to an abrupt revelation." Similarly, employees should be encouraged to open a case for further training and education, and employers should be willing to help those who are willing to help themselves. The point of all of this is that workers and employers do not have to wait a bit to see what might happen next. News that change is coming, and a good idea would be to prepare yourself. ” Stafford shares Kalin's emphasis on addressing human issues about work, not just on technological and manufacturing advances. It is usually a Catch-22 situation if left unattended or unmet. “Technology may have freed us physically from our desks, but it has eliminated the normal day-to-day routine of rest. Recent research shows that this effect is not limited to work day, ”said Stafford. "According to the American Psychological Association, 53% of employees looked for work over the weekend, 52% worked outside of the curfew, and 54% worked or became ill. Flextime, often regarded as a technological advantage that offers more freedom, can actually lead to many hours of operation. Without concrete intervention, there is no reason to assume that this behavior will change any time soon.
