4:30pm - 5:30pm  Executive Networking Reception

5:30pm - 6:30pm  Discussion Topics

Navigating HR Technology Challenges and Change

In the rapidly evolving HR landscape, the strategic integration of technology is crucial to achieving organizational goals and enhancing employee experience. Meanwhile, Gartner research shows that 55% of HR leaders believe their current technology solutions fall short of meeting both present and future business needs. Despite significant advancements in HR technology and the widespread adoption of GenAI solutions, many leaders still struggle to harness its full potential. On top of that, employees are experiencing unparalleled levels of change fatigue across industries, and legacy transformation readiness practices are inadequate in today’s environment.

Join this discussion to explore strategies to effectively leverage HR technology and manage the change it brings, while ensuring alignment with organizational objectives and fostering a resilient workforce.

Discussion Questions:

  1. What are the key factors contributing to the disconnect between HR technology execution and desired outcomes?
  2. How can HR leaders better align their technology strategies with future business needs?
  3. Are the novel technologies you have implemented in the past 1-2 years living up to your expectations? If not, where are they falling short?
  4. How can organizations equip managers to effectively lead change and support their teams through technology transitions?
  5. What innovative practices can be adopted to measure the success of change initiatives?
