MAY - 2023HR TECH OUTLOOK9technology streamlines everyday work by automating processes that do not require human attention. This allows employees to spend less time on "busy work" and focus on skilled work with an individualized touch. Technology is a tool that employees can use to improve the workplace, so it is essential that HR technology adapts to people's needs and grows with a workplaceHR technology can also evolve to fit the changing needs of an organization while allowing them to keep the original system. Applications such as Learning Experience platform create flexibility by expanding the scope of based on the company's need, but still stem from the same system. Recruiting module, for example, responded to managers' specific need for a better method of finding and hiring candidates.HR technology is growing in importance. During the height of the COVID pandemic, HR technologies played an enormous part in the successful transition to remote and hybrid work by maintaining a clear channel of communication with employees. With employees now scattered across the globe working from home, having a shared access point for employee information has become more important than ever ­ I'm not just talking employee taxes here!Creating a transparent system where employees can easily access information empowers them to take charge of their information. The use of supervisory organizations easily shows an employee how their role fits not only into their immediate team, but in the company as a greater whole. It improves work for everyone when they can see how they personally contribute to the company's mission.In the case of Greif, HR technology enables us to deliver on our vision of "be the best customer service company in the world" not only to external customers, but to the employees who use HR systems every day. Providing employees easy access to their information and using functional systems that lower their perceived effort drives engagement. When an employee's needs are met, they will provide better service, leading to happy external customers and benefiting all parties involved.When it comes to technology in HR, I'm excited about what more that can done to impact business outcomes. We are just getting started. A strong centralized system like a global Human Resources Management System (HRMS) allows a company to keep all relevant data in one place, creating a cradle-to-grave system that manages information for the duration of an individual's careerBala Sathyanarayanan
