IMPACT OF EARLY ADOPTION

A look at how AI and CRE tech are reshaping workplace efficiency

- 

In a recent development, a leading IT firm graduated to hot-desking from the earlier fixed seating around its offices in the country. Artificial intelligence-based internal sensors revealed that a number of employees were either constantly moving around the office or working out of client locations. As a result of the real estate space optimisation, the company has been able to reduce cost on its infrastructure spending.

This is the latest trend, where Companies as in the case mentioned, are increasingly using technology to improve efficiencies across their offices. And the trend is not limited to the IT/ITeS sector, companies across sectors are incorporating technology in workplaces to save on a key proportion of the cost otherwise incurred on various operations.

A number of companies are already adopting exciting, new age technologies to positively impact employee experience, space planning and utilisation of their office spaces. Genpact, a leading ITeSorganisation, for example, has installed an application to book transport for its employees. It helps them to have real-time location of their vehicles and also help employees to plan the day better. The company saves costs on a human interface too thereby providing a safe and efficient transport experience to its employees.
