The use of technology in HR management has grown considerably in recent years. Human resource Information Systems (HRIS) have developed from being largely used for administrative and data recording purposes to being applied in processes such as recruitment, workforce planning, flexible benefits, absence management, learning, development and employee engagement.
By automating as many processes as possible, HR has been able to significantly reduce the time spent on routine administrative tasks, allowing them time to manage the HR function in a strategic manner to become true partners in the business.
Despite the considerable growth in the application of technology in HR, this area is still under-researched in terms of comprehensive examination of the impact of technology on people management, communication and the HR function itself.
