“Digital workplace” (DW) is the concept that there is a virtual equivalent to the physical workplace, and that this needs to be planned and managed coherently because it is fundamental to people’s productivity, engagement and working health.
At its heart the digital workplace is about:
- Putting people first — The impact on employees is what makes the digital workplace important.
- A technology layer — Advances in technology are driving changes in the digital workplace, and this is what makes it a current issue.
- Management and design — Proactively developing a digital workplace means addressing it as a whole and coordinating between technology, process and people aspects.
