Enterprise software and home working – putting the employee first

There are numerous IT systems on the market supposed to optimise and improve companies as well as facilitate their process management. However, most of those solutions are focused on supervision and the convenience of managers. Yet one of the key resources of a company is its employees, so isn’t focusing on managers’ needs the wrong way of looking at business processes? It is important for employees to feel that they are needed, to know what their duties are and what is expected of them. Companies that are aware of this become successful due to committed, efficient and satisfied staff.

Bpower2 is one of those systems that puts the convenience of every employee first. That is why comes equipped with many functionalities that facilitate remote working as well as office work. The most important functionalities are:

  • Process automation, which allows to achieve faster and more convenient task execution

  • Support in decision making in stressful situations

  • Easy organisation of incoming tasks

  • Ability to prioritise tasks

  • Ability to schedule task-execution and task-completion dates

  • Ability to sense well-being, fatigue and level of stress of the employee – based on this information, bpower2 is able to re-order specific tasks,

  • Process documents (such as invoices) into editable text

  • Track the current stage of tasks

  • Deployment of artificial intelligence to support the decision making

  • Easy, convenient communication with other employees

  • Documents are always delivered to a specific person

  • Comfortable work due to Lean Office.

All of the above-mentioned functionalities support employees and help them cope with stressful situations, even if there are no supervisors or colleagues nearby to answer their questions or help them carry out the task in hand. And artificial intelligence is there to support decision making and reducing employees’ stress level.

Imagine you are working remotely at home. Somebody sends you a task to do, however you don’t really know what to do. The first thing you do is call the person who ordered the task. Unfortunately, that person does not answer the phone. Such situations often cause stress and upset the person who needs to execute the task but does not really know how. Bpower2 can help in such circumstances.

For each of the tasks ordered, you can easily ask a question that immediately goes to the right person. At the same time, the supervisor can easily check the stage of a given task or process. Therefore, the task performer can relax as everyone knows that they began executing the task and will finish it as soon as the receives necessary clarification. Due to Bpower2, the employee does not have to feel angry or stressed.

Any enterprise can increase its work comfort through BPower2, as it not only improves work of the entire company, but also supports remote working. You never know when remote working will be needed, especially today. Constant development of Bpower2 means that its possibilities increase every day.
Satisfied employees are the most valuable resource of the company, which relates to the efficiency and quality of carried out work, which is why enterprise software should be a solution prepared for their – rather than their managers’ – needs.

What could our cities look like after Covid 19?

By Martin Hyams, director, AHR Architects

 

Covid-19 has appeared and turned our lives upside down, forcing us into lockdown. We find ourselves in survival mode – within a new set of constraints, we try to carry on as best we can. Our lives immediately reduced down to their simplest and most basic forms.  Those that that work from home do so.  With schools closed, working and childcare have to be juggled somehow. We start to rely on our local communities to support us.  Safety demands that we live our lives within a confined area, staying among those we trust.  

School’s out. What happens now?

By Tom McGrath, principal, British Primary School of Wilanow (BSW)

 

On Friday 26 June we arranged our End of Year Ceremony on the final day of the academic year. In normal circumstances this would have been in an auditorium, packed to the rafters, with a miscellany of musical acts, drama performances, presentations, farewells and speeches. It would have been followed with a buffet and refreshments for the assembled community.

Covid-19 will mean governments will need to offer long-term jobs support to avoid economic turbulence

Governments around the world, larger businesses and financial institutions such as banks will all have to play a part in helping to rebuild the global economy. That’s one of the main recommendations we make in our report Covid-19 Global Survey: The Road to Recovery.
