The term digital workplace belongs to the topics of digital transformation, HR work and teams and digital society. It describes a modern workplace that is supported by digital technologies and is no longer tied to a fixed location.
In the digital workplace, teams work flexibly, often from different locations or even from home. Emails, video conferences, shared documents in the cloud and digital project tools are replacing traditional meetings in the office. Technical networking simplifies the exchange of information and promotes collaboration - even across national borders.
An illustrative example: A company uses a central platform on which employees share documents, agree deadlines and coordinate tasks. This allows the marketing team in Munich to easily collaborate with the development team in Berlin and the sales team in Hamburg as if they were all sitting at the same table.
The digital workplace makes processes more efficient and gives employees more flexibility. Especially in times when mobile working is becoming increasingly important, it gives companies an important competitive advantage.
