764 HR Professionals Surveyed on Technology Issues

Delivering HR Services in the Modern World

Manufacturing facilities, hospitals, logistics hubs, and other 24-hour operations face a variety of challenges when it comes to providing human resources services to their employees. HR offices are typically only open during weekdays, but a significant portion of the workforce may be on the job at night or the weekends, or work in remote locations not large enough to support a dedicated HR office. That disconnect can make it difficult for employees to accomplish tasks such as submitting vacation requests, updating personal information, or making changes to insurance information.

Complicating those challenges are the dual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and an ongoing labor shortage. Even if an HR office is fully staffed, having face-to-face interactions with employees is likely discouraged, making the delivery of services even more difficult.

To adapt, HR departments around the country are incorporating technology to both cut costs and improve service.

Increasing tech investments

A recent survey of 764 HR professionals across various industries in the United States, conducted by business technology review site TrustRadius, spotlighted some of the issues facing HR departments as well as the ways technology is helping to address those issues.

The survey found that the vast majority of HR teams (74%) feel challenged by the pandemic, with 38% saying they are exhausted. They’re increasingly turning to technology for respite, with 55% of HR professionals saying that their companies are spending more on HR technology right now. Of those, 45% are spending to upgrade their existing tech stack, while 38% are purchasing new tech.

And in many cases, those investments are in self-service technology that allows workers to perform many HR tasks on their own, without the need to interact with a member of the HR team.
