The changing face of HR and what tech is playing a key role
With new tech whizzing around and taking us places we never thought possible, it’s easy to get lost in what’s best to use to better our jobs. HR’s role has forever been changing, from ‘personnel’ to now ‘Human Resources’. But now with the modern corporations needing stats and numbers to support all of their core decisions, HR needs to step up and show what they’re really worth.
This is where we’re seeing a shift in the role of HR is taking on a more dynamic and flexible place in the business structure. New tech is enabling HR professionals to change the way they manage their day-to-day, but also to plan what’s next. It’s an exciting time for new tools and software that help HR professionals do what they do best, in a changing world of business.
But let’s cut to what you’re really here for right? Here’s the top 5 most accessible HR tech tools on the market today.
HRMS – Zoho People

With Zoho People you’ve got everything in one place, from payroll to performance evaluations. Zoho People also integrates with Signable’s eSignatures, so you’re able to easily onboard new employees without all the paper!
