Automation - High Acceptance After Initial Skepticism
Humans are creatures of habit – we struggle with change. This also applies to the introduction of automation solutions. Changes in the familiar work routine can trigger a diffuse sense of unease. But once the change is established, most users are satisfied and appreciate better working conditions, room for personal development, or the elimination of routine tasks.
Examples from our customer base confirm this: with regular use of new software, initial skepticism gives way to high acceptance. A Salesforce survey also comes to this conclusion. According to it, automation solutions not only increase productivity but also reduce employee stress levels.
The study cites four main reasons for the personal and professional improvement of the employee experience:
1. Automation Promotes Productivity and Team Collaboration
Recurring workflows can be burdensome for employees – especially when they involve time-intensive and error-prone routine tasks. When these processes are automated, employees can focus on more exciting tasks.
Team collaboration has also become a decisive factor in business success. The study indicates that work functions better both across teams and within teams thanks to automation solutions. 90% of users find that automation makes them much more satisfied with cross-departmental collaboration.
2. Task Automation Saves Time and Reduces Errors
In the past, people worried with the advent of automation that they would no longer be needed and would lose their jobs. Today, 81% of users have no concerns that automation will replace their work.
The survey shows that 88% of users rely on automation solutions to complete tasks error-free. 92% of users are satisfied with productivity and 85% with collaboration in their teams. 47% state that automation solutions free them from tedious routine tasks.
3. Time Saved for New Projects and Career Development
This reduction in errors and freedom from tedious tasks means that employees can use their time more meaningfully and strategically. 83% of surveyed users use the saved time for their professional development by expanding their skills or pursuing challenging projects. Also 83% use the gained time to build new competencies.
4. Automation Reduces Stress and Promotes Balance
The survey clearly highlights that automation solutions don't just have purely business benefits. Survey participants reported lower stress levels and better work-life balance as a result.
The topic of automation is rated 25% more positively after corresponding tools were used. 89% of users are now more satisfied with their daily work. This applies to 84% regarding their companies overall, and 76% have lower stress levels. Additionally, 91% of users believe that automation solutions save time and enable a better work-life balance.
