Working days used to be 50 hours in many countries. Then they decreased to 45. Today the trend is 40 hours. First in Europe and now in Latin America, projects of this nature continue to advance. For example, recently in Chile the Chamber of Deputies approved the project that establishes a reduction in the working day from 45 to 40 hours a week. In fact, the law is expected to be promulgated on May 1, due to the commemoration of Labor Day in that country.
Artificial Intelligence applied to companies
Technology in this? Artificial intelligence could be key, even more so in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). ”Many SMEs should gradually add new technologies for their processes. The focus is to be prepared and seek to promote the knowledge of workers to relate more to the technological solutions of the current market. Thanks to this, productivity will be improved, generating higher income, and with trained workers and greater technological well-being in their tasks,” says Matias Corrales, CEO of Kolossusa company dedicated to the development of IT solutions.
On the other hand, with the rapid advance of the digital transformation in SMEs, one of the great unknowns is what the current and future scenario will be like, with respect to artificial intelligence and the need to hire workers.
new skills
It is that the fear of many is a possible dismissal of workers to be replaced by the use of computers and applications to develop tasks, which can be improved using this type of alternative.
”Other competencies will be generated that are proactive, improving efficiency, improving customer value, managing risk and discovering new revenue generation opportunities. For example, alternatives related to maintenance and programming will be presented for the correct development of artificial systems. These jobs will be more highly qualified and will be filled by profiles related to computer science degrees. In simple words, the IT focus is and will continue to be a space to develop as a qualified professional”, adds Corrales.
Digital transformation helps micro, small, medium and large companies to increase their security, reduce costs, streamline processes, update their strategies, expand their scope and focus, all in order to advance their growth and reduce loss. or misuse of your information.
