Digital competences are particularly at home in the areas of digital transformation, digital society and HR work and teams. They describe the ability to move confidently in the digital world, use digital tools sensibly and understand the risks and opportunities of new technologies.
Digital skills include, for example, how to conduct video conferences, store data securely or collaborate online. But it is also about dealing critically with information and recognising dangers such as phishing emails.
An illustrative example: In a company, more and more tasks are being carried out online - from exchanging information in a team and collaborating on documents to storing data in the cloud. This is where employees demonstrate their digital expertise if they not only master the technology, but also work with it efficiently and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Digital skills are important in almost all professions today. They help to keep pace with digital change, optimise work processes and operate securely online. Companies that specifically promote the digital skills of their teams secure a clear competitive advantage.
