at their fingertips. Making apps highly
accessible from any device powers a real
difference in performance. While we’ve

organisations need to consider apps that
are relevant to the workforce, which can
help to drive a fundamental transformation
in an individual’s workday.”

Cultural change required
Giving employees access to highly accessible
employee-centric applications, used for
knowledge sharing, collaborating with
colleagues or project management is
essential to effective and successful digital
transformation. Only with this powerful
combination of employee initiative and
management trust, will organisations
be able to create a culture where digital
transformation starts to have a real impact
on the business.
In the UAE, empowered employees are more
than twice as likely to rate their employers as
leaders in digital transformation compared
to other employees (60% vs 25%) and are
twice as likely to report that their company
has been made a more desirable place to
work (60% to 30%).
