Swiss companies are taking a more measured approach to adopting Digital Employee Experience (DEX) platforms compared to other Western European nations, according to ISG's 2024 Provider Lens™ report. While increasing budget allocations for DEX platforms and AI-powered monitoring tools, Swiss organizations are balancing technological innovation with sustainability goals and traditional values of quality and precision.

The report highlights Switzerland's unique challenges, including a skills shortage and changing workforce demographics. Swiss workplaces are transforming physical offices into innovation hubs while addressing carbon footprint reduction and circular economy principles. The study evaluates 39 providers across five quadrants, with Swisscom and Wipro named as Leaders in all categories.

Le aziende svizzere stanno adottando un approccio più cauto all'adozione delle piattaforme di Digital Employee Experience (DEX) rispetto ad altre nazioni dell'Europa occidentale, secondo il rapporto Provider Lens™ 2024 di ISG. Sebbene stiano aumentando le allocazioni di budget per le piattaforme DEX e gli strumenti di monitoraggio basati sull'IA, le organizzazioni svizzere stanno bilanciando l'innovazione tecnologica con gli obiettivi di sostenibilità e i valori tradizionali di qualità e precisione.

Il rapporto evidenzia le sfide uniche della Svizzera, tra cui la carenza di competenze e i cambiamenti nella demografia della forza lavoro. I luoghi di lavoro svizzeri stanno trasformando gli uffici fisici in hub di innovazione, affrontando al contempo la riduzione dell'impronta di carbonio e i principi dell'economia circolare. Lo studio esamina 39 fornitori in cinque quadranti, con Swisscom e Wipro nominati come Leader in tutte le categorie.

Los lugares de trabajo suizos están transformando oficinas físicas en centros de innovación, mientras abordan la reducción de la huella de carbono y los principios de economía circular.

스위스 기업들은 ISG의 2024 공급자 렌즈™ 보고서에 따르면, 다른 서유럽 국가들에 비해 디지털 직원 경험(Digital Employee Experience, DEX) 플랫폼을 도입하는 데 보다 신중한 접근 방식을 취하고 있습니다. DEX 플랫폼과 인공지능(AI) 기반 모니터링 도구에 대한 예산 배정이 늘어나고 있지만, 스위스 조직들은 기술 혁신과 지속 가능성 목표, 그리고 품질과 정확성이라는 전통적인 가치를 균형 있게 유지하고 있습니다.

이 보고서는 스위스의 독특한 도전 과제, 즉 기술 인력 부족과 변화하는 인구 통계의 문제를 강조합니다. 스위스의 직장은 물리적 사무실을 혁신 허브로 변화시키는 동시에 탄소 발자국 감소와 순환 경제 원칙을 다루고 있습니다. 이 연구는 다섯 개의 квадран트에서 39개 공급자를 평가하며, Swisscom과 Wipro는 모든 카테고리에서 리더로 선정되었습니다.

Les entreprises suisses adoptent une approche plus mesurée pour adopter les plateformes de Digital Employee Experience (DEX) par rapport à d'autres pays d'Europe occidentale, selon le rapport Provider Lens™ 2024 d'ISG. Bien qu'elles augmentent leurs budgets alloués aux plateformes DEX et aux outils de surveillance alimentés par l'IA, les organisations suisses équilibrent l'innovation technologique avec des objectifs de durabilité et des valeurs traditionnelles de qualité et de précision.

Le rapport met en avant les défis uniques de la Suisse, y compris une pénurie de compétences et des changements dans la démographie de la main-d'œuvre. Les lieux de travail suisses transforment les bureaux physiques en pôles d'innovation tout en s'attaquant à la réduction de l'empreinte carbone et aux principes de l'économie circulaire. L'étude évalue 39 prestataires dans cinq quadrants, avec Swisscom et Wipro désignés comme Leaders dans toutes les catégories.

Die schweizerischen Unternehmen verfolgen laut dem Provider Lens™ Bericht 2024 von ISG einen vorsichtiger Ansatz bei der Einführung von Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Plattformen im Vergleich zu anderen westeuropäischen Ländern. Während die Haushaltsmittel für DEX-Plattformen und KI-gestützte Überwachungstools erhöht werden, balancieren die Schweizer Organisationen technologische Innovation mit Nachhaltigkeitszielen und traditionellen Werten von Qualität und Präzision.

Der Bericht hebt die einzigartigen Herausforderungen der Schweiz hervor, einschließlich eines Fachkräftemangels und sich ändernder Demografie der Belegschaft. Schweizer Arbeitsplätze verwandeln physische Büros in Innovationszentren und beschäftigen sich gleichzeitig mit der Reduzierung des CO2-Fußabdrucks und den Prinzipien der Kreislaufwirtschaft. Die Studie bewertet 39 Anbieter in fünf Quadranten, wobei Swisscom und Wipro in allen Kategorien als Führer ausgezeichnet werden.

Insights

The Swiss market's cautious approach to DEX platform adoption reflects a broader strategic consideration that impacts technology service providers. While this measured pace might seem conservative, it aligns with Switzerland's reputation for precision and quality-focused business practices. The market dynamics reveal several key insights:

Market Drivers:

  • Increasing budget allocations for DEX platforms and IT support
  • Growing focus on AI-powered monitoring tools
  • Strong emphasis on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction

The convergence of demographic challenges, including an aging workforce and skills shortage, creates a unique market environment that could accelerate DEX adoption in the long term. For ISG (III), this presents both opportunities and challenges in their advisory services, as Swiss clients require more nuanced, balanced approaches to digital transformation.

The modernization needs of Swiss businesses are being balanced against the impacts of economic and environmental trends, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

ZÜRICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Digital employee experience (DEX) is not gaining as much traction as a business priority among companies in Switzerland as it has in other Western European countries, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Future of Work – Services report for Switzerland finds companies there are more focused on integrating new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in what they believe to be a more balanced manner, supporting the country’s traditional values of quality and precision. While DEX principles are still being adopted, they’re components of their respective companies’ broader, more cautious approaches to digital business transformation.

“Businesses throughout Switzerland are redefining the roles of their physical offices transforming them into vibrant hubs for innovation and collaboration,” said Uwe Ladwig, managing director, ISG Switzerland. “By leveraging the country’s penchant for innovation and business success through sustainability, Swiss workplaces are attracting and retaining top new talent, and increasing satisfaction among their existing employee bases.”

Recognizing a global trend, Swiss organizations are beginning to increase their budget allotments for deploying user-friendly DEX platforms, which includes adoption of IT support resources and continuous feedback mechanisms that are critical to newer DEX architectures. Advanced monitoring tools are being deployed, leveraging AI to anticipate issues before they arise, and mitigate them more proactively.

Balanced against these priorities are mandates for carbon footprint reduction, adoption of circular economy principles, and greater supply chain transparency that characterizes the movement towards sustainability throughout Europe. Swiss workplaces are seeing the convergence of economic resilience, technological innovation, social change and regulatory adoption.

“The leaders of Swiss enterprises are working harder to ensure all these converging forces are given equal precedent in a balanced, measured approach to business innovation and evolution,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “As a country and as a culture, Switzerland appreciates the efficiency and reliability of any fine mechanism, and its approach to the mechanisms of business and industry reflects this.”

Switzerland continues to navigate the impact of a skills shortage, the ISG report notes, especially as its workforce demographics change. While life expectancy is increasing, birth rates are declining. As the average age of the Swiss worker increases, the debate over how the country’s welfare system should continue to provide benefits has grown more intense. At issue is the subject of whether welfare is actively disincentivizing work.

The expanded relevance of this issue in the Swiss public discourse is reshaping the landscape of work itself in the country, and redefining work both as a process and an ethic, ISG notes. Amid this discussion, DEX platforms are addressing the future state of work and the needs of workers.
