Despite the worldwide upheaval due to the coronavirus, the unexpected pandemic has brought about surprising innovations. As enterprise businesses scramble to maintain operations during lockdowns and mandated social distancing, automation has become a key component in keeping the doors open and protecting both profits and employees.
Although automation has received a lot of negative attention because of its potential to replace employees, there are many ways it can actually help to better leverage personnel, eliminating busywork and freeing up their time for more creative and innovative tasks – tasks that would ultimately help the company be more competitive in the long run.
“Automation priorities vary depending on the industry vertical, but one common thread amongst all enterprises is committing resources to improving the lives of its employees,” said Babu Sivadasan, Co-Founder and CEO of JIFFY.ai. “It is critical for enterprises to attract, retain, and upskill its workers. By automating key areas, such as training, data management, employee on boarding, payroll management, and talent acquisition, HR departments can increase operational efficiency, while improving overall employee experience.”
Part of improved automated onboarding is streamlining the process to get employees up and running on company-provided smartphones, networks and laptops. By making these processes more efficient, employees are able to begin working sooner, reducing downtime and allowing them to contribute more quickly to maintaining the company’s bottom line. This can be a major advantage during the Covid-19 pandemic. While companies that have not prioritized automation flounder, enterprise businesses that have made the leap to automation will have teams ready to take the next steps toward surviving the unprecedented changes across all industries brought on by Covid-19.
