Digital competences are particularly at home in the areas of Digital Transformation, Digital Society, and HR work and teams. They describe the abilities to navigate the digital world safely, use digital tools purposefully, and understand the risks and opportunities of new technologies.
Digital skills include, for example, how to conduct video conferences, store data securely or collaborate online. But it's also about dealing critically with information and recognising dangers such as phishing emails.
A striking example: At a company, more and more tasks are being carried out online – from team communication and collaborative document editing to data storage in the cloud. Here, employees demonstrate their digital skills when they not only master the technology but also work with it in a data-protection-compliant and efficient manner.
Digital skills are important in almost all professions today. They help to keep pace with digital change, optimise work processes and operate safely online. Companies that specifically promote the digital skills of their teams secure a clear competitive advantage.
