 What is HR Technology?
• HR technology (human resources technology) is an umbrella
term for software and associated hardware for automating
the human resources function in organizations.

• It includes employee payroll and compensation, talent

acquisition and management, workforce
analytics, performance management, and benefits
administration.
• Learning, development and recruiting the right talent are two
key aspects of the HR function.

• While hiring comes at the first stage of talent management,

learning and development usually comes at a stage which
corroborates with skilling and re-skilling.

• Technology is changing the way we learn and also the way we

recruit.

 Conclusion
• The first important thing for HR to have when it comes to
using big data is a goal. Yet having a goal for big data — having
a project, a hypothesis, a strategic business pain you want to
understand more clearly — is probably the most overlooked
element when an organization of any size sets out to develop
its people data through new technology.

• The second important thing HR needs if it wants to fully

leverage big data is the necessary tools to analyze the data
from throughout the organization — not just from HR’s people
data.

• Without those two linchpins, the power of HR technology and

its trends for the future will fall short of expectations.
