The pandemic has led to many changes in our work processes. Mobile workforces and individual working hours have become the new normal. But flexible and innovative work concepts require new tools and processes from companies. One of the main topics at the World Economic Forum 2022 in Davos was therefore also the future of work. ATOSS CEO Andreas F.J. Obereder was interviewed by journalist Tina Dauster about this and about the vision of revolutionizing the interaction between cost efficiency and humanity through digital workforce management.
Andreas F.J. OberederThe shortage of skilled workers will continue to increase and make life even more challenging for many companies. Therefore flexibility will further increase and with it the complexity of managing the workforce.
Andreas Obereder: For me, New Work stands for a better balance between the interests of employer and employees. It puts the employee in the center and asks: “What can we as an employer do better in our way of working to attract and retain the best possible talent.” Remote work or nice offices with a fruit basket alone won’t do the trick. Because this touches only the desk-workers.
Successful companies make sure to look at the entire workforce, also to the frontline workers who perform their job not in the office but on a production line, cash desk, hospital bed or similar. Fancy co-working spaces won’t help them – but a good workforce management tool can.
