FUTURE OF WORK: 5 WAYS TECHNOLOGY IS RESHAPING WORK AND THE WORKPLACE

The future of work is now. 
Already, we’re seeing how technology is revolutionizing the way people work and companies operate. 
This is driving change across many areas, particularly the workplace and different organizational departments. This change is expected to continue in the coming years, however, there’s no time like the present to evaluate which changes are taking place and how they’re impacting the world of work. 

Reshaping Work and the Workplace
1. The Rise of Digital Hiring
Technology has not only given rise to the digital workplace, it’s also given rise to the way companies hire talent. 
From hiring through social media to having algorithms scan resumes and applications, technology is making it easier than ever for companies to find the right talent — full-time, part-time, and on-demand positions. 
German startup, Zenjob, is a good example of how tech is revolutionizing hiring for companies. 
The platform is digitizing and automating the search process for temp jobs. The company states that it can fill more than 50% of all open job shifts within 7 hours. 
Though the platform is currently available only for students, there are plans for it to expand its target market. According to Zenjob founder, Fritz Trott, their “technology allows for a speedy and accurate matching service.”
With just a click, students can book temp jobs through the app.
“The Zenjob service is entirely digital and automated. Zenjob takes care of all steps in the staffing process including signing contracts, employee insurance, payment and invoicing. Zenjob’s aim is a paperless hiring process, with all steps digitised, from booking to payrolling.” 
This type of solution is not only convenient for organizations, but also for professionals. Having direct access to many temp jobs can provide individuals with more flexibility and control over their work life.
