Technology continues to throw challenges at the HR function as the speed of change increases and new technology (anyone noticed something called AI?) enters the arena.
At The HR World’s webinar this month the best ways to secure and maintain value from HR technology came under the microscope. Sponsored by HR software company Sympa and featuring the company’s Customer Onboarding Manager Toni Turunen, the discussion also benefitted from the input of Amanda Chinnery, Head of Digital HR for Fujitsu Europe. Together the pair discussed the selection and implementation of HR technology, how to drive value and ROI from these systems and the possible impact of new developments including AI.
Both experts were clear that any approach to HR technology had to take into consideration the fact that these solutions do not just impact on HR alone. To deliver value these systems need to be managed with consideration for everyone in the organisation, particularly the employees who may use them on a daily basis.
It emerged that the impetus for technology change often came through messages and experiences from the business itself – instances where employees felt frustration at existing systems or where efficiencies could be realized with new solutions. At the same time, Turunen noted HR should have some form of roadmap for their technology investment in order to ensure there is structure to the way ahead rather than simply knee-jerk investment whenever a problem occurs.
The panelists warned that HR needs to be clear about what they want to gain from any technology investment and that Return on Investment is frequently found in more softer measures – employee engagement, satisfaction and administrative efficiency – rather than purely in financial figures.
It seems clear that AI will prove another game-changer for HR, and it should not be forgotten that automation and machine learning are already established in some areas of the function. However, it is clear from this webinar that HR needs to stay vigilant and connected with the wider world of technology to ensure it continues to maximise benefits from its investment.
