TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT : Challenges & Opportunity | Chapter 5
A major technological trend is the use of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS),
which are maintained in HR's, functions. HRIS platforms manage employee records, payroll, and benefits tracking in a single integrated system. By automating several HR functions, these systems promote efficiency by decreasing manual activities, limiting errors, and guaranteeing compliance with labor laws and regulations. Moreover, HRIS systems generate useful data that allows HR managers to make better employee performance, turnover, and engagement decisions. The recent shift toward data-driven decision-making enables HR professionals to identify trends, forecast future workforce needs, and design strategies to keep top talent (Prasad et al., 2024).
However, while technology enables tremendous efficiency in HRM, it also brings many challenges. One of the biggest worries is the possibility of losing the human touch that is so critical in HR practices.
While automation improves efficiency, HR is fundamentally about managing and supporting people, and many employees appreciate IN person interactions and personalized support. Failure to provide empathetic and understanding support to employees can lead to disconnection or disengagement in a digitally dominated environment. As a task, HR professionals have to lean towards the positive side, of this balancing act, where the objective is to ensure that technology helps people as it can for the better (Prasad et al., 2024).
