HR Technology® Conference & Exposition 2017

Battle of the Brands: HR Agility vs. The Employee Experience (Room Venetian Ballroom A & B)

Employees don’t ask to be engaged, they ask to be helped. And their expectations have risen to consumer-grade levels — HR needs to provide “always-on” service whenever and wherever an employee needs it. But is this possible? 68% of HR leaders say administrative tasks are still getting in the way. For both HR and employees, the reality is that the digital experience inside most companies is now starkly at odds with the experience we have everywhere else in our lives. Forward-thinking companies are looking to close this gap, so which way does the scale tip for HR technology investment: towards HR agility or the employee experience? HR leaders from three of the world’s leading brands will discuss the challenges they face and how they are addressing them with HR technology; why HR productivity and the employee experience are key business drivers; and insights to help ensure HR is an investment priority in your organization.
