Generation Z doesn't like papers: It's time to digitize administrative procedures

In a world where technology is changing the way we live and work, the job market is facing new challenges. The generations entering the workforce – from millennials to Gen Z – no longer want to perform repetitive, administrative tasks that don’t require creativity or critical thinking. Instead, they are looking for dynamic and challenging jobs that allow them to create value, develop their skills, and feel productive.

How new generations experience office work...

Scenario: Generations that don't want repetitive jobs

Imagine a company that has digitized its core business processes: it has automated production, improved sales channels, and optimized customer service. However, administrative processes—such as record keeping, contract processing, and document archiving—are still slow, manual, and often frustrating for employees.

A new generation of employees, accustomed to technology, sees such tasks as a waste of time. Instead of repeating the same operations, they want to learn, develop, and take on tasks that will engage them intellectually. In this environment, companies that do not digitize administrative processes risk losing young talent.


Digitalization of administrative procedures as a solution

Freeing employees from monotonous tasks

Automating tasks like data entry, document approval, and record keeping allows employees to focus on more creative tasks. Instead of manually entering contracts, employees can work on data analysis, process improvement, or innovation.

Creating an attractive workplace for new generations

By implementing modern systems like OWIS, companies can offer a technologically advanced environment that meets the needs of new generations. Young employees want tools that make work easier, enable their development, and give them a sense of contributing to value creation.

More efficient onboarding of new employees

Digitized processes reduce the time required to learn administrative procedures. New hires can become productive faster and feel integrated into the team.

Focus on strategic goals

When administrative processes are digitized, management can allocate resources to strategic initiatives such as developing new products or entering new markets. Freedom from administrative obligations increases competitiveness and enables faster adaptation to market changes.

A broader perspective: The workplace of the future

According to research, 60% of young employees prefer a work environment that uses technology to improve productivity. They expect their company to provide them with challenges and opportunities for growth, rather than burdening them with tasks that can be done by a computer.

The digitalization of administrative processes is not only a technical but also a strategic move. Companies that implement it not only increase their efficiency, but also become attractive to young talent, creating the prerequisites for long-term success.

Conclusion: The next step for modern companies

Companies that have solved their core business processes are faced with the question: what next? Digitizing the administration is a natural next step, allowing employees to focus on creativity, innovation and strategic contribution. With solutions like OWIS, organizations can not only accelerate business processes but also create a workplace that inspires future generations of employees.

For any organization that wants to remain competitive in the digital era, this is not just an option – it is a necessity.
