EXPERTISE - Silver Workers Fit for the Future
Employees must be involved in the digital transformation of purchasing and supply management, focusing on the so-called silver workers (the older generation), who find it harder to access digital solutions. Society and companies cannot afford to lose skilled workers for tasks in digitalized purchasing and supply management. On the other hand, experienced employees have valuable knowledge that must be retained and integrated even in times of Industry 4.0.
