n the past, HR has been criticised for slow adoption of new solutions, reactive approach, and lagging value creation the business seeks.
Our recent report for the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR) highlighted the importance of digital HR for the success of the human resource function. As new technologies emerge, we will again be challenged by the business to adapt, adopt and evolve if we are to remain a relevant and value-adding strategic partner. If not, we risk being relegated back to the “support” function of old, and the advances made in the strategic HR positioning since the early 2000s and the ground gained during the pandemic become irrelevant. However, there is an opportunity for HR to grasp the window of opportunity, and there are four technological advances that HR can utilise to its benefit over the coming years leading up to 2030.
