HR technology encompasses the use of hardware and software to maintain and direct a wide range of human resources tasks and responsibilities. Payroll, employee benefits, and candidate recruitment typically fall within the realm of HR technology. But in more recent times, the latest HR technology trends address a wider range of HR-related challenges — everything from the new hybrid work environment to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep-dive data analytics. From a new generation of employee self-service to continued learning tools, the use of technology in HR management allows HR leaders to assume a more strategic role within the organization.
As a result, HR technology benefits business leaders and employees alike. Technology trends in HR promise to dramatically enhance business operations and meet the challenges in the future of work.
