HR organisations need to improve use of technology

Is your organisation investing in HR technology and in particular analytics?  “Top performers have long understood the role that technology plays in HR, and most companies are now realizing that digital transformation is critical,” states Harry Osle, The Hackett Group’s Global HR Advisory Practice leader and principal.

New research from The Hackett Group says of the top planned HR transformation initiatives for the near term, six out of 10 are focused on technology and analytics.

HR leaders agree that the future effectiveness of their organisations depends on improving their use of technology, including analytics. Benefits of this digital transformation include the ability to:

• Provide data-driven insights that help improve corporate agility
• Manage talent more effectively
• Assist managers in evaluating and supporting their employees
• Make day-to-day life easier for employees by streamlining administrative tasks

“Top performers have long understood the role that technology plays in HR, and most companies are now realizing that digital transformation is critical,” Osle says. He adds that getting there requires using technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness, developing the ability to analyze data to gain insight, helping the company adapt to changing talent and staffing needs, and becoming more customer-centric.
