Working with the Job Impact report

The Job Impact report shows the extent to which automation and augmentation could impact each role in your organisation.

Use the chart to assess the varying degrees of impact to roles. This will give you a quick snapshot of which roles have tasks that are more likely to be automated (replaced by technology) or augmented (supplemented by technology).

What you can use the Job Impact insights for

Augmentation assists workers to perform their tasks better and faster, freeing up their capacity to perform other tasks. Automation completely replaces tasks, freeing up time for workers to take on different, higher-value tasks.

Over time, roles with high automation or augmentation rates will be vastly transformed. In five to ten years' time, some roles will be completely  unrecognisable while others will no longer exist. At the same time, new roles will emerge. The challenge of every organisation is to identify the higher-value tasks that their workforce can begin taking on now, and upskilling and reskilling workers to be able to perform those tasks.

The Job Impact insights can be used to identify the roles most impacted by technology adoption, which will then inform:

• L&D strategy, particularly which tasks to prioritise for upskilling and reskilling, and by when
• strategic workforce planning, specifically to redesign roles for the future workplace by understanding today's roles will evolve as they are impacted by technology

TIPS:

• To see which types of augmenting and automating technologies will impact every task performed by the role, select the role title. This will take you to a view of all tasks for that role in the Job Profiles report.
• Using multiple charts in conjunction is a great way to get the most value out of the Faethm platform. Before jumping into the Job Impact report, it's useful to identify the business or organisational units you'd like to search and explore. A suggested starting point is as follows:
  • Automation Impact report: Use this report prior to using the Job impact report. It will enable you to identify which areas of the business are likely to experience significant impact as a result of automation and augmentation.

 

Understand the insights

Key insights

Below the chart, you'll find three key insights about your workforce.

• The total number of  FTEs in your workforce that are likely to be automated within the timeframe selected in the platform Years filter.
• The total number of  FTEs in your workforce that are likely to be augmented within the timeframe selected in the platform Years filter.
• The sum total of FTEs that are being analysed for automation and augmentation.

TIP: See impacts by one or more technology categories or types, rather than all, by selecting specific technologies from the platform's Technologies filter.

The bar chart legend

• The colours used on the bar chart represent the following data:
  • Light teal - Automation impact
  • Teal - Augmentation impact
  • Dark grey - Unimpacted
• The length of each bar indicates the total number or total percentage of FTEs, depending on which you've selected from the top right-hand toggle.

Automation and augmentation insights

Depending on the focus you wish to take, the Job Impact chart can show automation and augmentation impact on a pop-up that appears as you scroll over each bar in the chart:

Number (#): The impact of automation or augmentation on the workforce by total number of FTE

 

Percentage (%): The impact of automation or augmentation on the workforce by total percentage of FTE

 

 

TIP:

• On the chart, it's only possible to view the impact insights for one job at a time. To obtain a complete view of all impacts on all jobs, download the data in a CSV or XLS file.

 

Different ways to view the insights

The default view of the chart shows the combined impacts of automation and augmentation by the total number of FTEs.  This view can be filtered with three tools at the top right-hand corner of the chart.

Filter by automation, augmentation, number of FTEs and percentage of FTEs

You can filter and sort the insights by using the options at the top right-hand side of the chart to filter by:

* Automation, Augmentation or both
* Total number of FTEs (#)
* Percentage of FTEs (%)

 

 

Impacts by total number of FTEs

• Select the '#' symbol at the top-right hand side of the screen to view the total number of FTEs impacted by automation and augmentation.
• Use the platform-wide filters at the top of the page to further refine the results and evaluate impacts by timeframe, technology type, location, organisational unit, job category and more.
• The x-axis represents the number of FTEs.
  
  

Impacts by percentage of FTEs

• Select the '%' symbol at the top-right hand side of the screen to view the total percentage of FTEs impacted by automation and augmentation.
• Use the platform-wide filters at the top of the page to further refine the results and evaluate impacts by timeframe, technology type, location, organisational unit, job category and more.
• The x-axis represents the percentage FTEs.
