HR professionals are continually challenged by their CEOs and CFOs to find ways to increase efficiency while providing better communication, faster service and a more positive experience for employees.
HR is responding by making significant investments in technology to revolutionize every aspect of the employee life cycle.
Technology now influences nearly every aspect of an employee’s workplace experience, which allows employers to better hire, train, manage, coach, evaluate and engage workers.
New HR mobile apps now allow workers to rate their peers and to deliver instantaneous, honest and truly anonymous feedback to employers.
Performance management is no longer annual, as employers can gather data from a multitude of sources to enable real-time reviews. In the Tech Target article What Are the Leading HR Technology Trends?, Hive Tech HR President Jeremy Ames says that with new technology, “products are enabling the collection of feedback notes, coaching notes, social media contributions and endorsements from peers throughout the year.”
Employee self-service portals are also evolving and now deliver a more personalized user experience, incorporating new tools such as wearable technology and an expanding field of custom-made mobile apps.
As organizations enter the 2017 budget-planning season, it will be important for HR to arrive prepared with a knowledge of the new technology needed to stay competitive and the justification for spending the money required to obtain it.
