Digitale Kompetenz im Beruf

The digital transformation of work involves more than just technological innovation. Successful digitalization alters the social space within companies. The development of digital competence in the workplace therefore needs to focus on the whole person, the way they think, their communication skills, actions and the way in which they deal with emotions. Starting from this basic approach, the authors present Ulrich Hemel=s multidimensional competence model and outline the steps involved in the development of digital competence. In the process, they look at the central areas of development in which interpersonal collaboration is changing as a result of digitalization: communication, mobile working, management, learning and employee recruitment. The aim of this holistic approach to competence development in the workplace is to achieve a reflective way of shaping one=s own work in the spirit of digital sovereignty and fairness.
