WHAT IS GROWTH THROUGH WORKSTYLE INNOVATION?


While the youngest are still being born, the oldest members of Generation Z are now 19 years of age and are making the journey from full-time education to the workplace. They are eager, digital natives with a unique approach to the concept of work.

Gen Z is acutely aware that the lines between work and personal life are blurring. Work is a mindset for them, not simply a set of tasks to complete or objectives to reach. And with constant access to email and the latest collaboration platforms, most don’t switch off. But while conversations about this always-on workforce have focused on the technologies involved – the separation between work and personal devices becoming increasingly rare – little attention has been given to their mentality.

Meanwhile, younger generations are shaping their careers. Generation X are now typically reaching middle or senior management positions. Millennials are starting to make headway and rise up through the ranks. And now, of course, we have Generation Z; keen trailblazers, who are just leaving the education system and entering the world of work.

Businesses must embrace this unique mindset toward technology and the concept of work in order to harness Gen Z’s natural always-on attitude. This will prove a key tactic to embracing digitalisation, improving agility and adopting new collaboration platforms across the business


Everything is changing; we are inching towards digital future. The evolving demographic profile of the workforce, the ever-increasing expectations we have from our places of work, as well as new technologies and tools available to us are reshaping how we collaborate, share information and ultimately do our jobs.

How well we adapt to the long-term implications of these trends is likely to play a crucial role in the future success at our work places. The digital transformation fundamentally has three goals:
  1. Empower people – transform the workplace into a digitally-optimized environment that supports collaboration and knowledge-sharing to enhance productivity and innovation.newsletter.ricoh.co.in
  2. Optimize business processes – identify opportunities to introduce more efficient and effective ways to manage information, embedding information security and sustainability into operations.
  3. Optimize the value of technology and IT infrastructure – deliver a strategy to support the needs of the workforce..
As a case-study, let’s take an example of Ricoh, as an organization it’s sets out the case for investing in the tools, digital services and the technology infrastructure needed to empower the workforce to collaborate and share information, and thereby enhance the productivity and engagement.
