Authenticx Founder and CEO Amy Brown recently contributed to Forbes Technology Council Expert Panel® on how leaders empower employees to embrace technology.
Most professionals appreciate the time savings, productivity boost and other benefits of their workplace technology systems. Still, nontech employees may be nervous or resistant when new tools are introduced, fearing steep learning curves, disruption or worse .
The challenge for leaders in introducing new technology isn’t just about teaching team members how to use the tools—it’s about cultivating a culture that encourages curiosity and confidence in trying something new. Below, members of Forbes Technology Council share their experience and advice on how to build such a culture within your organization. Read on for actionable steps you can take to help everyone on your team comfortably navigate an ever-evolving tech landscape.
“The key is breaking technology innovation down to its relevance for employees and helping them understand how their own individual roles will be helped by innovation. Address potential fear of change head-on by facilitating a dialogue with employees to uncover incorrect assumptions, worries or resistance to technology. Finally, support employees with solid training and give them time to experiment with new technology.”
