HR Technology Integration and Analytics Pose Major Challenges for Organizations, New Research Reveals

Employee experience ranks as the top priority for 54% of HR professionals when evaluating HR technology features, yet new research reveals significant challenges in leveraging these tools effectively. The HR Research Institute study demonstrates that while most organizations can extract accurate data from their systems, translating this information into actionable insights remains a substantial obstacle for HR teams.

The research findings indicate that beyond analytics challenges, technology integration represents another critical pain point for organizations. Strong integration capabilities distinguish leading HR tech stacks, yet 30% of respondents report that lack of proper integration prevents them from achieving important HR objectives. This integration gap underscores the complexity of managing multiple HR systems effectively.

Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com, emphasized that "Companies today are investing heavily in HR technology, but the real challenge lies in integrating these tools and making them user-friendly. It's not just about having the latest technology; it's about making it work seamlessly to meet business objectives and enhance the employee experience." This statement highlights the disconnect between technology acquisition and practical implementation.

The comprehensive report, available for download, provides actionable strategies and key takeaways to help organizations better understand current trends in HR technology application and integration. The research presentation recording offers additional insights into how organizations can evaluate and improve their HR tech stack effectiveness throughout 2024.
