9 ways HR professionals are working smarter with innovative digital technology
Here’s a question for you. As a HR professional, what has been the game-changer for your industry? Several answers might spring to mind but if ‘digital technology’ isn’t one of them, we advise reading on…
21st century HR
At Calls9, we’ve been lucky enough to host several roundtable events for HR professionals here in the Leeds City Region, as well as providing digital solutions to businesses in need of a HR shake-up. From artificial intelligence to apps, chatbots to wearable technology, the digital possibilities are not only endless but quite incredible.
We realise that ‘technology’ to many businesses is something of a turn-off and a daunting prospect but can you afford not to move with the times? Any worry should be outweighed by the positive impact it will have on your business. In a HR context, this means improved business operations, efficient HR practices and informed decision making. The right technology can also make way for a happier, healthier and more productive workforce.
Be the change
As a HR professional, you shouldn’t be afraid to take the lead and change the game for the better (even if you don’t fully understand the solution!). The main thing is, you understand first-hand the problems faced in your line of work.
Embracing cultural change is also an important factor in introducing new technology. Just because you’ve done something in a certain way for a long time, it doesn’t mean it’s right. It’s time to take the reins and move forward into a new era of HR.
Be brave, be bold and be straight-forward in your thinking. Remember, sometimes the simplest of solutions have the biggest effect.
