ServiceNow presents unique research on using technology in the workplace
São Paulo, November 7, 2016 - ServiceNow, a company that offers solutions using the software as a service model, will be present at the 4th edition of the IT Forum Expo , demonstrating how information technology combined with the habits of the new digital age have created trends that Can increase productivity at work and make business processes more fluid and intuitive.
Recently, the company presented the global "Service Experience Index" study, which reveals that there is a discrepancy between the tools that people use in their daily lives and the technologies that are available in the workplace. "On one side are the significant technological advances that have modified or created new habits for society through services such as Uber, Amazon and Airbnb. On the other hand, we have most of the companies that are not integrating these capabilities into in door services for their employees, "says Katia Ortiz, [ServiceNow]'s country manager in Brazil. "This means that most people benefit from the technological advantages of 2016 at home and in their personal lives in general, but back to 1996 when they are at work," he said.
To reach that conclusion, over 2,400 managers from six countries were heard, who answered a series of questions detailing their experiences with common consumer services and typical business services.
"Companies typically focus entirely on their customers' experiences, focusing on building a relationship of satisfaction and loyalty," explains Dave Wright, Strategy Director at ServiceNow. "But these same principles are not taken into account in internal processes. The general idea is that it is very easy for a customer to take their business elsewhere; the same is not true when dealing with the employees themselves: if they do not like working with the HR department, there is no possibility of Another HR department, "the executive added.
This huge gap in service experience, identified in the study, is driven by outdated technologies that undermine productivity. In the professional environment, managers are five times more likely to use e-mailecinco times less likely to use an application . This trend has a direct impact on productivity: 79% of respondents stated that email monitoring interferes with the completion of tasks , as they spend an average of 4 hours a day (3h at work and 1h at home) processing work e-mails.
Still, only 28% of managers reported using the internet or a mobile application to open a case or request work-related services in the office. Finally, the study also shows how this shortfall undermines the performance and performance of the professionals: 69% of managers said that because of manual services in the workplace, less time is left for strategic initiatives . As a result, productivity drops and / or the stress level is higher.
