HR transformation and technology

Overview

Fears that talent shortfalls will constrain growth mean that organisations are looking to refocus efforts and invest in those employees who will be most valuable to their businesses. HR leaders are being challenged to mobilise and manage talent to help businesses grow, and in some cases HR has a long way to go in persuading business leaders that it’s up to the challenge.

Our HR projects increasingly have both a technology and a transformational element – the true value that comes from ‘real transformation’, shifting HR from transactional to strategic activity, a more agile and robust operating model, business-driven talent and performance strategies and a radically improved employee experience. A successful HR transformation project will usually require a cornerstone element of technology.

HR Software as a Service (SaaS) is providing HR leaders with a unique opportunity to rapidly deliver revolutionary change and a renewed strategic focus. Organisations who recognise HR SaaS as an opportunity for transformational change are creating sustainable economic value in record time, while delivering reduced costs, better workforce experience and business-wide strategic improvements.

Issues you may be facing

Is there a lack of clarity on the alignment of business objectives and HR priorities?
Do you need to rethink your HR functional structures, capabilities and role designs to enable a shift in focus to more strategic, high-value activities?
People expect HR operations to provide the same user‑friendly experience they have become accustomed to in other areas of their lives: is your organisation delivering?
Are you looking for ways to enhance employee experience and engagement?
Do you need to take action to update your existing HR technology?
Do you need to optimise costs across the HR function?
