The third edition of Digital Day is taking place today, a day of digital training dedicated to the families of Vodafone employees. In the offices of Ivrea, Milan, Padua, Bologna, Pisa, Rome, Naples and Catania, a number of workshops, shows and free activities have in fact been organized to bring the little ones - but also the senior carers - closer to digital, from robotics to the world of drones.
The event is part of Vodafone's strategy, increasingly a "digital company", which builds digitization paths involving people, tools and spaces.
Starting from a company survey on skills and digital culture, Vodafone has in fact built various training courses, with an ad hoc portal dedicated to topics such as biga data and service design, passing through real jam sessions with experts from the world digital up to visits to other companies to see how they are implementing new digital processes.
The "Digital Ninja" project has just started: after a training period, 11 Vodafone digital natives will support the management of Vodafone Italia from the end of November to update it on the continuous evolution of the digital ecosystem (apps, social media, digital reputation...) .
The digitization of people's way of working also involves smart work places and tools. The new Italian offices of Vodafone, such as the Vodafone Village in Milan or the Padua office, go in this direction, with open spaces and informal meeting areas that reflect a more interactive and dynamic way of working, to encourage collaboration between people . With a view to collaboration, the Red Farms were recently inaugurated at the Village in Milan, shared work spaces designed specifically for the development of new products and services that require the participation of cross-functional work teams. Corporate hackathons are also an often used way of working at Vodafone, moments in which top management and employees at all levels work together for common purposes, from simplifying business processes to improving the customer experience.
Vodafone not only offers its employees connected and collaborative workspaces, but also gives them the opportunity to work smart one day a week. Indeed, Vodafone Italia is the company's Smart Working experience involving the largest number of employees in Italy (source: Smart Working Observatory of the Milan Polytechnic).
Work tools are also modernized with cloud solutions that allow all employees to share and work on the same work documents - with easy access even remotely - and stay in touch via the corporate social network Yammer, also available in a mobile version.
