The most efficient, productive, and engaged workforce is one empowered by a harmonious balance of transformative tech, human intelligence, and streamlined processes – we call this powerful combination Human+.

Creating a harmonious balance of technology, people and processes to achieve Next Level performance.

Putting people at the heart of your digital transformation by engaging them around your hyperautomation goals, proactively seeking buy-in from employees and leadership, and championing human ingenuity will turbo charge your strategy and reap long-term rewards.

5 STEPS TO SUCCESS

Empowering your workforce in an ever-changing landscape of digital innovation – with the introduction of automation technologies – can be a real challenge. In fact, one of the primary reasons hyperautomation programs get stalled is cultural.

Lack of awareness and understanding hinders adoption and can lead to misinformation and mistrust. So how can you overcome these challenges and create a harmonious culture where human ingenuity and digital transformation exist in equilibrium?

1

Include people in your strategy

A great hyperautomation strategy will center around people – so let them know what yours looks like and how you’re going to involve them now, and in the future.

Explain the wider business benefits and the positive impact digital transformation will have on their day-to-day work. Equally, it’s important to work with senior leadership to achieve top-down change management. And finally, ensure HR is equipped to advise on automation career pathways and reassure employees they have a bright future ahead.

2

Invest in training

We know hyperautomation is a complex subject. One which needs human skill and ingenuity to maximize the potential of automation technologies.

That’s one of the main reasons we launched Roboyo Academy – to make sure you have the skills and expertise in-house to keep your projects running and make your digital transformation a continuous success. We also see the benefits of training in getting employees excited about new possibilities, their career development and their contribution to meeting organizational goals.

3

Prioritize emotional buy-in

Emotional and intellectual buy-in are two different things. Knowing the reason for implementing hyperautomation technology and the benefits of digital transformation are important.

But this rational approach won’t give your employees peace of mind if they’re anxious about being replaced by bots. It won’t necessarily boost their morale or productivity either. That’s why emotional buy-in is a key focus of our Human+ approach. We make sure your people are taken care of and empowered throughout the digital transformation journey.

4

CELEBRATE SUCCESS

From the easy wins to the large-scale process improvements, it’s important to celebrate your achievements – not only to express pride in the work your center of excellence (CoE) is doing, but also to let employees know that what you’re doing is worthwhile, delivering measurable results, and benefiting the business. This should include a ‘show and tell’ approach to automation solutions, so that the successes don’t go unnoticed.
