Tech & HR: the Good, the Bad, and the Future

BCCJ & CCIFJ Collaboration Event

Digitalisation is sweeping through every aspect of our businesses and working lives. When it comes to streamlining processes and maximising efficiency in our systems, the benefits are significant and many, and the drawbacks few. But can we say the same about the impact on people?

It’s no secret that the role of technology within HR is changing. Big data and AI applications are changing how we hire, manage, evaluate and communicate with the people in our organisations, and HR is on a steep learning curve. Alongside the obvious benefits there are new risks and concerns emerging, from blurred personal-private boundaries and hidden biases to the challenges of gathering and interpreting qualitative as well as quantitative data. So how can companies navigate these changes, and how should we expect the role of technology within HR to further evolve going forward?

In this lunchtime webinar, expert speakers from both tech and HR backgrounds will explore both sides of the story – the benefits and the challenges – and also touch on what companies should be taking into consideration when using these new tools, and what exciting new developments we can expect to see moving forward.
