Study: Digitization of the world of work


Over 60 percent of employees in Germany expect digital tools such as online tools or smartphone apps from a modern employer instead of paper-based vacation requests and travel expense reports.
However, around two thirds work in a company that almost exclusively uses traditional forms in its HR work. These are the results of a survey conducted by ROC, an international consulting firm for SAP HCM.
"At the moment, companies still have a lot of catching up to do. This applies in particular to booking or canceling further training measures, online training courses or learning applications as well as changing employee data, for example after a move.
Our survey also shows that 56 percent of employees would like to work from home at least occasionally"
says Oliver Back, Managing Director of ROC Germany.
It is also striking that around one in ten employees do not know what digital tools their company offers them for HR work.
