The pace of change in the modern workplace is accelerating all the time.<\/p>\n
As you look for new digital tools to refine your strategy and boost business performance, adaptability and agility have emerged as key organizational traits.<\/p>\n
But the rate at which companies are implementing new tools is often too fast for employees to keep up. They simply can\u2019t learn new tech quickly enough.<\/p>\n
Without a high level of usability, your software investment will flop, employee performance will suffer, and your bottom line will dip.<\/p>\n
If you are building up your tech arsenal, you need your employees to be adaptable. They must be able to quickly adopt and gain proficiency with new tools. They need to achieve digital adoption.<\/p>\n\n
Digital adoption<\/a> is achieving a state in which digital tools are being used as intended, and to their fullest extent.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s about more than just basic usability. Total digital adoption is when that particular technology becomes second nature to its user.<\/p>\n\n Step into your employees\u2019 shoes.<\/p>\n The modern employee uses an average of 9.39 apps per day, according to a survey by harmon.ie. Seventy-four percent of respondents have more than five apps open at once. In a large organization<\/a>, the variety of apps could be even greater.<\/p>\n The so-called \u201cThird Industrial Revolution\u201d has spawned software for every function.<\/p>\n Tracking time, managing projects, communicating, managing the sales process, the marketing process, accounting, talent management \u2014 the list goes on.<\/p>\n In many cases, growth in the use of enterprise software has actually become counterproductive. While employees struggle to navigate apps to perform their tasks, productivity suffers.<\/p>\n\n Digital adoption has become central to employee performance<\/a>. Employees that aren\u2019t using apps as intended, and to the fullest extent, are falling behind. They\u2019re less productive, more frustrated<\/a>, and not fulfilling their potential.<\/p>\n In basic terms, they\u2019re costing the business money.<\/p>\n Even an employee with the most outstanding skillset is only as good as their adoption of the digital tools you provide them.<\/p>\nWhy digital adoption is critical to performance<\/h2>\n
We\u2019re living in an age of app overwhelm.<\/h3>\n
