8: Nishant Parashar - Part 5/8 Role of Technology in Facilitating Remote Employee Engagement
Meet Nishant Parashar, Founder of engage4more, a leading employee engagement firm in Mumbai. Nishant who was also awarded the Business World Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2010, within about a year of setting up engage4more, shares how engaging with people and eliciting a response from them through events, activities have driven him since young. As I revisit the fifth part of my conversation with Nishant on the role of technology and how it will change the ways companies engage with their employees, I can’t help but feel a bit eerie knowing that what seemed quite distant has become a reality almost overnight! The need to engage with employees remotely with the help of technology and that too, worldwide, as we are all witnessing it now. Nishant shares his thoughts on how technology will provide the solution to effective engagement as it begins enabling an increasingly digitised world marked by remote offices, scattered workforce and a gig economy. He speaks of virtual buddy systems, digital streaming, digital gamification and counselling which he believes will help in leading this shift. Engage4more in fact already has three apps – Tikkle, Hug and Pat to boost online employee engagement. How? Well, Stay tuned to know more!
