Human-Oriented Productivity Management as a Key Criterion for Success in the Digitalised Working World

Abstract

The world of work and business is constantly changing. At the moment, the digitalisation megatrend is significantly changing framework conditions for companies with a range of new requirements. Within this context, a growing desire for more flexibility, which can be achieved thanks to new developments in information and communication technology, can be seen both at companies and among employees. To ensure the long-term success of digitalisation at companies, work must be organised with a human-oriented focus in all operating areas. Human orientation has both a direct as well as an indirect impact on productivity. For efficient human-oriented productivity management, new methods and tools in industrial engineering are required, which would allow the digitalised working world to be analysed and shaped.
