Reconsidering HR Tech’s Impact on Employee Frustrations and the Employee Experience

Guest: 

Steve Boese, HR Technology Conference program chair and HR Happy Hour podcast co-host

As a challenging year forced more organizations to embrace the reality of the digital transformation in the workplace, how employees incorporate technology into processes becomes more important by the day.

Steve Boese, chair of the HR Technology Conference, returns to the HR Break Room® to discuss the relationship between workplace tech and employees’ frustrations. Boese addresses a new nationwide study by OnePoll that has uncovered some startling statistics about how office workers — both in the office and working remotely — view their options for tech in the workplace and ways for engaged employers to understand these results and move forward.

In this episode, Boese and host Caleb Masters unpack the implications of this information as they discuss:

• the dissonance between the technology employees encounter in their personal life versus their workplace tech and how this impacts the employee experience
• the costs associated with inefficient or outdated tech as it relates to productivity and the employee experience
• the varied benefits arising from effective and efficient workplace technology at all levels of the organization
• HR’s role in technology selection and how to get C-suite buy-in during that process
