Looking inwards at the domain we represent, one of the big opportunities for the Human Resource function in organizations is to embrace digitization. HR has lagged other functions in adopting technology and outside of large integrated platforms, very little innovative tech exists in the domain. New tech developments, the business ask for ready information and a burning need for efficiency driving innovative HR services have possibly created the environment for HR to finally step into the information age.

Solutions like virtual on-boarding, e-Learning, remote performance management, and ensuring a net positive Employee Experience (Ex) have all been experimented with in the last 9 months. We envisage a push towards more plug and play tech tools in HR, going beyond traditional large scale enterprise solutions, and targeting processes beyond hiring.

We see HR digitization & People Analytics playing a significant role in driving organization productivity measurement, Employee Experience interventions, online talent assessments and tech enabled benchmarking in the future.

All in all, exciting times ahead in the HR Tech space!
