With the growing acceptation of mental health enhancing apps and virtual counselors, more employers will back applications that make employees happier, healthier and more engaged. Prescription digital therapeutics will assist employees to learn how to cope with stress through cognitive-behavioral approaches.

AI Process Mining

The analysis of processes in enterprise systems using data science methods is known as process mining. Advanced tools used in the process mining on the basis of AI will become implemented in the knowledge-centred industries. Process mining, because it shows only the matching aspects of processes, automatically highlights optimization and automation potential that reduces costs and increases efficiency.

No-Code Process Automation

The need for coding skills to exist persists, however, the entry-level barrier to join the sphere of workplace automation reduces with the help ofaccessible no-code tools. More business employees in the organization such as those in finance, human resource, administration, content creation department, customer support and other operational departments will use such visual software automation tools as Zapier and IFTTT by 2024.
