Technology is essential to improve human resources

Human resources is one of the most challenging areas for global businesses. Nearly half of organisations name recruitment as the greatest challenge they face. The right technology is instrumental - nearly half of global organisations agreed that technology helped to improve HR process integration, easing the burden of monitoring disparate systems in different geographies, and facilitating high-level collaboration and boosting engagement.

Ensuring that you are recruiting the right people, maintaining engagement and wellbeing, and providing the right training are all elements that enable businesses to thrive. When employees are heard, they produce better work and are more engaged with the shared purpose of an organisation.

Organisations need to gain a singular view of employees

Many international businesses are unable to perform at their best, with 80% stating that potential growth is limited by HR challenges. Overseeing a global employee base can be difficult, and when employers lose touch with their workforce it can lead to a downturn in engagement and productivity.

With the right technology, managers can access a singular view of employees: their performance, their capabilities, and their needs. Employers can tackle problems before they arise, keeping teams running no matter what they are faced with. HR teams are then freed up to bring greater value to businesses by drawing out the best in employees.
