For those who work in or regularly interact within the HR technology space, it may be tempting to assume that all HR practitioners are well-versed in and understand both the value and limits of workplace technology. That in the year 2018, when we all interact with all sorts of technology platforms in our daily lives outside of work, that we would all be fluent in technology inside the workplace, and that the importance of embracing how technology can transform the workplace as we move toward the future, balanced with a keen understanding of and respect for what it can and cannot do would be top of mind for all HR professionals.

Another year another great #HRTechConf - the 20th year in fact! And what a year. If you’ve not been, the conference and expo is huge. Every time I walk into the main room where the keynotes and startup competitions take place, I’m left in awe about how large it is. Ok, so its not the largest show on earth - I think Dreamforce tries hard for that with over 120,000 attendees! But for an HR audience all focussed on technology, its something to behold.
The 2017 edition of the HR Technology Conference wrapped up about a week and a half ago, and other than transitioning back to my real world day-to-day responsibilities, I’ve also spent the time since then processing what I heard and what I learned. When I attend a conference, I usually like to hold off writing about it until a little while afterwards because I like to take a look back at my notes, scribbles, and tweets and see if there is some sort of theme that emerges, especially from an HR practitioner perspective.
