Technology in HR & the Workplace

October 2007

In this issue:

 

 

The relationship between technology and HR has grown significantly beyond the basic HRIS systems of the past. No longer is technology just improving transaction processing time. Now, there is increased focus on measurement and evaluation. And, particularly, technology is now more about connecting with and supporting people. All together, it is about the new future of HR:  “Talent Management to Support Organizational Business Strategy.”

This month, we look at a variety of technology approaches for improving both HR and the workplace. 

In addition, we invite you to share your opinion about this e-newsletter . Please give us no more than 5 minutes of your time to tell us what you think.

Sincerely,
