WEBINAR SYNOPSIS

TIMING

SESSIONS

While organisations were focused on critical corporate responses in the face a global pandemic in 2021, 2022 will see a shift. Businesses are at a crossroads as people are preparing to return to office in hybrid models. Should they try to get back to how things were before the pandemic? Or can businesses use this as an opportunity to radically reinvent the modern workplace and reduce the amount of time employees spend on tedious, repetitive tasks?


According to a PwC survey, 50% of CFOs want to adopt automation and embrace "new methods of working" once they return from remote work. The pandemic has drove businesses to develop smarter ways of working that pay off handsomely, such as intelligent automation. Intelligent automation can free up employee time, improve process efficiency, and usher in a new work culture based on experience. As we return to physical workplaces and embrace a hybrid work model, this is a crucial employee expectation. The ramifications of this will influence hybrid work in the future.


Join DigitalCFO, Automation Anywhere and fellow finance leaders for this exclusive virtual roundtable as we discuss why intelligent automation is now non-negotiable in present day work places in a post-COVID world.
