As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, organizations need to keep up to stay competitive. Embracing AI and technology can offer significant benefits, such as improved productivity, better results, and increased efficiency. From AI-powered training solutions to generative AI tools for talent retention and attraction, AI has the potential to transform the way we work. We at Fundamento have ourselves harnessed the power of generative AI to equip frontline teams. Therefore, a lot of our most recent conversations with industry experts have been around how AI is transforming the way we work. Most recently, we spoke to Srinivas Reddy of Pristyn Care to explore the potential of AI in making work easier, better, and quicker, and why embracing technology is crucial for team success. We also spoke about how having more conversations around this can help spread awareness about technology and equip teams for success in the new normal.
The Potential of AI in Making Work Easier, Better, and Quicker
AI is opening up endless possibilities for organizations to make their work easier, better, and quicker. Many organizations are starting to leverage AI to improve productivity and grow their business. However, some are yet to realize the potential.
Reddy felt that the purpose of organizations should be to impact the lives of their people and make things better. “AI can help them achieve this goal by using generative AI and employee experience, feedback, and conversations for talent retention and attraction. It's just the beginning, and AI has miles to go before we sleep. It can make a lot of jobs much easier, better, and quicker. In the next two to three years, generative AI will take over most aspects of our lives. Organizations should embrace it to stay competitive and take advantage of all the benefits it offers,” he said.
Equipping Your Teams for Success in the New Normal
The pandemic brought significant, permanent changes to the workforce ecosystem. Employers opened up to different possibilities when it came to work, such as work from home and hybrid positions. Candidates in fact were no longer hesitant to ask if a particular role is remote or onsite, leading to more transparency in job postings. Employers over time have even become more flexible, with an understanding that certain roles need people to work remotely and others to work in the office. The workforce is adapting to the changes, making it easier for employers to implement new policies and for candidates to select an appropriate job.
One critical aspect of the new normal is to equip teams for better productivity. “In a frontline-based organization like Pristyn Care, constantly upskilling teams is essential to adapt to changes. While on-job training and physical training are helpful, they are no longer the most effective tools. Leaning onto AI for training and upskilling has become a necessity, enabling scalability and increasing efficiency. Startups are continually figuring out new ways to work and get things done better, faster, and quicker. Employers need to invest in training their teams accordingly to succeed in the new normal,” elaborated Reddy.
Why Embracing Technology is Crucial for Team Success
In today's fast-paced world, organizations are constantly looking for ways to equip their teams with the tools they need to succeed. However, navigating the world of technology can be a daunting task, and many organizations struggle to find the right solutions for their needs. That's where embracing technology can make all the difference. By leveraging the power of technology, organizations can equip their teams with the tools and resources they need to perform at their best.
When organizations embrace technology to equip their teams, they unlock a world of benefits. From streamlining processes to enhancing collaboration, technology can transform the way teams work together. By providing team members with access to the latest tools and resources, organizations can help them to work more efficiently and effectively. This can lead to improved productivity, better results, and ultimately, greater success for the organization as a whole. So if you're looking to equip your teams for success, embracing technology is the way to go.
For instance, work from home has now become the new norm. Earlier, there were only a few companies that even offered this option, and candidates never really asked for this during job interviews. Moreover, even with work from home available as an option, unless really necessary, people didn’t avail it. However, now, it's becoming essential for candidates to know whether the role they are applying for offers work from home or not. As for organizations, they too have realized the benefits of remote work and have started implementing it for specific roles that don't require people to be physically present at the office. This change has brought about a positive impact, and both employees and employers are happy to embrace this new work culture. In such a culture, to succeed without equipping teams with the right tech that eases out their work, is hard.
Equipping frontline teams
Training and upskilling are crucial components of any job, and it becomes even more critical when organizations have to adapt to the changes that the pandemic has brought about. Reddy said that at Pristyn Care, they take this seriously. “We understand the significance of equipping frontline teams, and constantly experiment to find new ways to work better, faster, and more efficiently. While physical training is essential, we have started implementing AI-based training solutions that have helped us scale our training programs. This approach has brought about positive results and has proved to be an effective way of training people in the current scenario.” he shared.
The technology available today can significantly improve business processes and help organizations achieve their goals. Leaders should have a clear purpose in mind and understand how AI can help achieve that purpose. They should be passionate about talent development and use AI to help their teams grow and learn.
Artificial Intelligence is still relatively new and we have not yet scratched the surface of its potential. There are many ideas and thoughts that organizations can explore to make work easier, better, and quicker. In the next few years, AI will go leaps and bounds in many layers that we haven't even seen yet. It's the beginning, and we're only starting to realize the potential of AI.
In today's fast-paced world, where competition is fierce and innovation is the key to success, equipping teams with the right tools and technologies is crucial. Today, using generative AI can help organizations streamline their operations, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and ultimately achieve their goals. However, navigating through the vast array of options and understanding which tools are the best fit for your organization can be challenging.
Through conversations on Skill Flex, we aim to spread awareness about the potential of AI in equipping teams. We believe that by creating a platform for open dialogue and sharing of ideas, we can help organizations make informed decisions and choose the right tools to improve their team's performance. With the right approach, we can help organizations to adopt AI with confidence and take their teams to the next level.
