Industry 4.0: Building a future-ready workforce at scale

In the new world of work, change is constant but change may not be magnanimous. It's a thought shared by many leaders and especially Sandeep Chaudhary, CEO PeopleStrong & Subhro Bhaduri, CHRO Aditya Birla Group who shared the importance of modern working and organisation methods  in the new world of work.  Every organisation is in the business of going back to the drawing board and re-questioning their years of working habits, WFH as well as hybridisation workplace policies.

So the question arises, how to build a workforce that is :

1. Future-ready
2. Emotionally organised
3. Innovative mindset

Key takeaways:

• Subhro and Sandeep talked about the importance of Decentralised Autonomous Organisation [DAO], which is a community-led entity with no central authority and is meant to be fully autonomous & transparent.
• Overhauling the workforce management needs two quintessential elements - Self-Motivation and Technology. Self-motivation is a virtue not in abundance but modern technology is the bedrock that will enable the employees to do the deed themselves, without any oversight. 
• Creating a “synergistic environment” is important which may enable employees to be consistent, performance-wise.
• The same synergy boosted with hyper-personalised service is expected to work wonders when it comes to seamlessly deliver customer deliverables. 

The leaders conlcuded that the motivation of the future-ready workforce is divided into two parts: Absorbing the company’s ideals and the company’s responsibility to provide the workforce with the necessary ammunition to kick-start growth.
