Insights about technology

I have recently taken up a teacher's role, and, I was enthusiastic, notwithstanding the tight deadlines to prove that I am able to present myself to an audience on the topic of technology. Technology in the last decade has evolved and has spared no bolt, its benefits include automation to reduce repetitive tasks that can be carried out by robots or bots, and, the ultimate benefit is that through cost economics the organisation saves costs because technology supports the notion of time being gained back and this can be invested in other productive activities, such as organisational research. No estimates were found on how much time people use at the workplace that are not supported by artificial intelligence, however such market insights would be useful to highlight the advantages being proposed herewith. Commentaries indicate that people are sceptic about technology and thus the human operator is still a role required by many organisations to tackle information requests and other conflicts that may happen with the organisation, as people struggle to understand the depth of their services, amongst other reasons. Technology does help with providing layers of information in a transparent manner so that people who are intelligent enough to search are made familiar with how the organisation works. Organisational research itself is researched, not merely as an attempt to monitor and control employees, but also to make better use of the time spent at work in fulfilling activities that are productive and add to the value chain of the business model. An organisation under study uses online services to encourage its employees to work from home, and, this provides the employees with flexibility in working and brainstorming particularly as they plan their activities. The idea is that they are prepared to go to work and deliver as soon as they are at the workplace. Some organisations cannot support this model of working for all employees because work has to be carried out at the worksite, and, other work requires facilites that are available only at the workplace, therefore flexi-working has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Research on workplaces is carried out regularly by analysts, where some have reported mental health issues, and, the need for policies to tackle bullying. Research requires time and carries with it a cost, and, few organisations can afford to carry out research first hand, or to purchase research for the purpose of organisational improvement, this is a factor that is of concern to the scope of research of improving the workplace itself. Other research is available in depth online.
