Our Advice

Critical Insight

Optimizing HR technology can be complicated due to the large number of processes and users involved. Without a clear focus on organizational needs, decisions about optimization can become muddled. Competing priorities may result in approaches that only benefit one line of the organization rather than the entire organization. Teams need a framework to effectively communicate and justify their optimization efforts to key players.

Impact and Result

Ensuring the maximum value on investment requires continuous application optimization. Validate user satisfaction, application fit, and areas of improvement to optimize HR technology. Take a 360° inventory of the organization’s HR technology and related systems. Realign organizational and technology drivers. Assess user satisfaction. Review the HR technology marketplace. Manage vendors and data. Pull this all together to prioritize optimization efforts and develop a concrete roadmap for improving your HR technology.
