Fourth Annual List Highlights Those Helping to Innovate and Transform the Industry

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Human Resource Executive^® and the HR Technology Conference & Exposition^® today announced the 2022 Top 100 HR Tech Influencers. Now in its fourth year, the annual list spotlights leaders and experts across a wide range of fields, each consistently making an impact with their work in HR technology and helping organizations solve HR pain points.

Between recruiting talent, processing payroll, updating policies and maintaining employee records, HR departments must also deal with employee requests for time off, benefits information and more. But what if there was an HR platform that could enable employees to fulfill some of these tasks on their own? That’s where employee self-service comes in. 

For decades, companies have embraced HR technology by starting at the “core” with HR management systems. Companies spend millions to tens of millions of dollars to implement them, and then, over time, add other tools to fill in with needed functionality. These core systems of record are a key component in a company’s technology infrastructure and influence decisions on many billions of dollars spent on other employee applications and tools.

One of the best ways to help HR professionals utilize their time effectively is to automate as many simple, manual processes and repeatable tasks as possible. HR software such as chatbots can act as a virtual HR assistant and help employees easily access HR and organizational information.

Meetings in the near future may take place in the “metaverse,” a network of 3D virtual worlds that will be powered by leading social media and software giants like Facebook, Apple and Microsoft. And, according to new research, younger employees are ready for this new paradigm—which means HR needs to be ready, too. 

Today Cornerstone made a big announcement: the acquisition of EdCast, one of the leaders and pioneers in learning experience platforms. While this may not be a huge deal financially, it will have a huge impact on the corporate learning market, setting off reverberations for years to come.

A study conducted by Bersin by Deloitte, whose founder is a frequent speaker at our annual HR Technology Conference, found that 34% of employees with less than two years on the job expected to have a new job within the next year. Recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and training new employees is costly. In fact, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that, on average, it costs a company 6 to 9 months of an employee’s salary to replace him or her after the employee leaves.
