'Siloed & outdated' | Is HR 'stuck in the past' when it comes to tech?

To say that HR technology has undergone a key evolution in recent years would be a huge understatement.

Perhaps due to the inevitable cycle of tech transformation, a boom in necessity as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, or because the market is simply so competitive that iteration is a constant, the solutions currently out in the marketplace are astonishingly advanced.

Everything from learning and development, to payroll, or health and wellbeing has some form of convenient application, replete with auto-generated reports and a million customisations.

You’d be forgiven, then, for thinking that in many ways, HR is likely up there with the most technologically advanced functions within business. Yet, according to new data from AdviserPlus’ HR Transformation Conundrum Research, a staggering one in four teams is still using woefully outdated technology.
