Tech tools that can change the HR industry
Among the trends shaping the HR industry in 2014/15 are cloud computing, virtual workplaces, and mobile tools that provide anywhere, anytime access to information. Here’s the super-human run through of ten HR tech game changes to watch out for!
Here are ten awesome HR technology trends forecasted to impact companies and employees over the next year:
- HR data is secure in the cloud. When it’s done right, the cloud is just as secure as onsite, on-premise software solutions.
- Gamification is here to stay. Especially for millennials, gamification is the best way for employers to communicate with, engage, train, attract, and retain top talent.
- Integrated social media will result in better communication and collaboration. Software that embeds social media capabilities across daily processes (as opposed to separate platforms) with internal and external colleagues is the optimal collaborative tool.
- Virtualization and globalization are transforming the workplace. Remote working arrangements will continue to proliferate, expanding outside country boundaries and forcing employers to be more innovative in how they use collaboration tools.
- Cross-functional innovation teams will become the norm to improve creativity, productivity, and quality. HR needs to collaborate with other departments to see what’s working and apply those best practices to help achieve HR goals.
- Cloud and business process outsourcing supports business goals by reducing infrastructure costs while freeing up HR resources for strategic innovation.
- Mobile tools become even more prevalent – from senior management to hourly workers. Anywhere, anytime access to information speeds up recruiting, boosts productivity, and increases efficiencies that benefit not just employees but suppliers and customers.
- HR needs to harness and analyze Big-Data for business performance results. With the right information, companies can quantify the impact HR has on business performance, forecast short-term and long-term workforce demands, identify critical skills gaps, explore different scenarios, and develop people strategies to meet the needs of the company in a fast-changing global environment.
- Integration, consolidation, and “suite” solutions will increase the interoperability of systems, databases, and tools. HR can make more informed decisions about workforce management based on quality data sets from across the entire company.
- Global, standardized definitions for HR terminology, metrics, data models, and systems will emerge as technology unites HR professionals worldwide.
