INNOVATIONS DUE TO COVID-19
54
Tools like Office 365 , SharePoint , Teams , Mural , Miro , Parabol , and Google Docs are helping everyone to work more efficiently , and have been invaluable during the shift to working from home . They engage , empower and assist in the easy execution of tasks . These online tools enhance collaboration and also provide creative spaces for remote teams to exchange ideas and solve problems .
Technological innovations have slowly been evolving the entire talent acquisition and management landscape in recent years , but Covid-19 has certainly accelerated this . In the likes of talent assessment , digital end-to-end assessment processes which are available on-demand 24 / 7 , with automated decision making and candidate feedback options are increasingly being used . Virtual assessment centres are also more common and can deliver some amazing results with measurable benefits for all concerned . While the likes of digital assessment was increasing in use prior to the pandemic , the transition to entirely contact-free processes has proceeded at pace . However , these are more than temporary changes and it seems unlikely we will go back to traditional methods now - the benefits in terms of reducing bias , time saved , reduced cost , and a more positive candidate experience are too compelling .
