HR Technology Trends & Advice

HCM Technology Trends in Cloud HR, Talent Management, Social & Mobile

The HR software technology industry is being described as at a point of inflexion. In this conversation with Josh Bersin, CEO & President of Bersin & Associates, we examine the factors most influencing HR software technologies, including SaaS/cloud HR services, the need for improved integration and the disruptive technologies of mobility and social media. Interestingly, Josh notes that while nearly all HR practitioners are getting pressure to adopt social media apps and tools, very few have social strategies. To aid this situation Josh offers advice in linking social media to HR strategies, explains how social media is adding value to HR software and shares social media uses cases in the context of HCM business processes. We also discuss why talent management software has increased in interest and adoption, and identify important criteria when selecting among talent management systems. Finally, Josh forecasts the HR technology industry, and suspects we'll see even more use of talent management software, more integration of HR technologies into a common HCM platform and better application of business intelligence for predictive analytics and better HR decisions.
