2017 has laid strong foundations for\u00a0the integration of\u00a0HR\u00a0technology in the\u00a0workplace, and\u00a02018 is set to\u00a0see even more growth in uptake.\u00a0Throughout the past year,\u00a0you may have\u00a0begun\u00a0to experience the benefits of automated HR.\u00a0Perhaps\u00a0it became that little\u00a0bit\u00a0easier to approve staff leave, or\u00a0maybe\u00a0you were less\u00a0burdened\u00a0by award compliance.\u00a0You likely saved hours by eliminating manual data entry, and perhaps you improved your recruitment strategies with automation.\u00a0As long as you’re an adopter\u00a0of\u00a0HR\u00a0technology,\u00a02018 promises even more benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what experts predict to be the key HR trends in 2018:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Empl<\/b>oyees will seek ‘experience\u00a0<\/b>management<\/b>‘<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

2017 saw\u00a0technology-driven\u00a0performance management\u00a0become\u00a0more prevalent in many workforces.\u00a0This\u00a0year,\u00a0as even\u00a0more\u00a0tech-savvy\u00a0millennials\u00a0enter the workforce,\u00a0managers and CEOs are\u00a0expected\u00a0to retain and sharpen focus on the “employee experience”.\u00a0The\u00a0“employee experience” is more than just performance management \u2013 it also encompasses\u00a0culture\u00a0and\u00a0engagement.\u00a0Leaders\u00a0will be\u00a0expected by these employees\u00a0to examine their journey within the\u00a0company, and\u00a0work towards\u00a0reciprocal\u00a0improvements.\u00a0HR technology\u00a0will be used to\u00a0facilitate these conversations, providing insight into\u00a0how\u00a0employees have\u00a0progressed, and how\u00a0both manager and employee can\u00a0enhance their performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HR will be completely digitised<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

2018 will see many businesses finalise\u00a0their HR system overhaul.\u00a0HR researcher for Deloitte Josh\u00a0Bersin\u00a0explains that\u00a0\u201cjust as many digital disruptors have toppled businesses in travel, retail, and other industries, we should essentially \u2018topple\u2019 our HR thinking with the adoption of digital\u00a0solutions”.\u00a0It\u00a0is no longer viable to run HR systems manually\u00a0for many reasons.\u00a0Firstly, employees are beginning to expect HR procedures to be seamless and automated, but more importantly all-encompassing.\u00a0Staff are seeking\u00a0leave, payroll, and personal details to all be managed within the one platform, as opposed to juggling several systems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, spending company time and money on manual HR procedures will simply set your business behind the competition. You cannot expect to recruit the best employees manually when other businesses are snapping up star players in seconds using intelligent technology.\u00a0If you’re starting up a business in 2018, skip\u00a0legacy\u00a0procedures altogether and implement automated HR systems from the beginning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People analytics will become an integrated feature of management structures<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 2017, people analytics\u00a0<\/a>surpassed its\u00a0isolated, specialty\u00a0use by\u00a0data experts\u00a0to feature in many workplaces.\u00a0In 2018, people analytics will be challenged to go further than simply assessing current procedures and representing them in graphs and tables. It will now be an actionable workplace\u00a0tool\u00a0implemented to\u00a0make\u00a0choices regarding recruitment, rostering, and budgets.\u00a0Research by Forbes<\/a> found that throughout 2017, 69% of the organisations\u00a0surveyed had actively considered\u00a0or\u00a0integrated people analytics into their operational structure. This was massive growth on the 10-15% adoption seen in previous years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an integrated features of workforce management, people\u00a0analytics (also known as business intelligence in some industries) will assist businesses in bridging the gap between leader expectations and employee performance. However, businesses shouldn’t expect overnight results. Experts explain that implementing\u00a0people analytics\u00a0requires a prolonged period of dedication before experiencing tangible results. However, the results that will arise will be highly\u00a0beneficial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A\u00a0<\/b>demand for more efficient<\/b>\u00a0recruitment processes<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

According\u00a0to the BBC, we are currently\u00a0experiencing\u00a0a “gig-economy”.\u00a0The BBC explains<\/a> this as\u00a0\u201ca\u00a0labour\u00a0market characterized by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work, as opposed to permanent jobs\u201d.\u00a0Not only does this increase the number of times a company will have to hire new staff, but it means there is more talent competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As short-term contract work is on the rise,\u00a0recruitment procedures will need to be streamlined even further in order to fulfil these\u00a0positions.\u00a0Finding and onboarding the best-fit employees needs to happen in the smallest time frame possible.\u00a0Furthermore, there will be more pressure on these processes to detect best-fit applicants\u00a0with the relevant skills and culture fit.
