Aligning Your HR Technology with Your Business

In the last few years, employers across the globe have begun to realize what the most forward-thinking companies already did: people are at the heart of the business, and we put their needs on the back burner at our own peril.

That shift in mindset is part of the reason that so many businesses are now looking to hire HR staff, with job postings for HR-related position volume currently at 614% above the pre-pandemic baseline expected growth. The problem? We can’t make HR professionals fast enough or qualified enough to support that level of demand.

That’s where HR technology comes in.

With the right blend of tools, employers can leverage technology to augment, support, and enable their HR teams to deliver value to the workforce, candidates, and the business. But it isn’t without its own challenges. Below we have three key elements of this shift that we explore in this video, that will help align your HR technology with your business.

• Democratizing the data
• Building your own HR tech stack
• Seeing the bigger picture
