AUG - SEPT 2018HR TECH OUTLOOK6Year after year, the workforce continues to evolve and transform. Conventionally, workforce management has remained a staff function and the exclusive responsibility of HR department but lately it has evolved into a strategic business partner. This has lead to the association of the human resources function to the organization's strategic goals. Having said this it's time now to take a look at what will 2018 bring in for the workforce management space.Organizations have to focus on strengthening relationships and in finding better ways to leverage data. So recognizing trends at an early stage and seizing opportunities will be the core task for all the companies. There are several trends to keep an eye on this year. One of the trends has been gearing towards more analytics. Companies have discerned that they need more data to make informed improvements to their workforce; analytics are playing a bigger role in how they assess growth and employee efficiency. Smart businesses will use the data they have and buy the data they need to help them get at the forefront. Also, automation tools that assist with workforce management are proving popular with companies globally as they attempt to introduce new efficiency strategies in the wake of the global economic downturn. This will in turn make management more accessible, more human. As we witness a boost in automating daily tasks, management will have more time to interact with their employees which is the most important driver of employee experience. This isn't the time to sit back and wait for events to unfold. Organizations have to be really smart about what they are trying to achieve before they go out and buy a niche solution that might not end up solving their problem.
