Why? This is simply a critical topic in HR technology as “strategy” transforms into true business support. The modern HR department and it’s HR technology must be able to support these three conditions to be effective in today’s world.

Businesses are seeking to be more scalable, flexible and agile in the marketplace. To do this, HR organizations need to focus on the right mix of competencies for the organization, meaning all the talent, workforce and rewards strategies we love to talk about here. However, the foundational infrastructure of technology and process must be present.

As businesses “re-tool” and redefine themselves to create their brand, increase their market penetration, and grow their revenues and employee populations, HR’s role should be clear and present. Scalable organizations depend not only on a clear HR technology infrastructure to provide continuous metrics to support the growth, but talent acquisition must provide leading support to achieve these goals.

Talent management organizations and systems play a key role in defining the flexibility and agility of a workforce in maintaining and creating new competencies as the market introduces new talent needs to the organization. Not only must the workforce be flexible in the ever changing competency requirements, but talent organizations should continuously project future needs with business leaders.
