The 2018 HR Technology Conference is now in the books, having wrapped up about two weeks ago. As I usually do, I’ve spent the time since then mulling over what I heard and saw there, reviewing my notes and tweets and thinking about the show as a whole. The one thing that stood out to me this year is that although the show, of course, still very much focuses on specific technologies and how they are being used to enhance the HR function, there seemed to be an attempt by conference organizers to capture a larger audience beyond the “HR IT” folks and vendors, and maybe try to appeal to what I would refer to (for lack of a better term) as “regular HR folks and practitioners.” This seemed to be evidenced by keynotes and general sessions that included “Dirty Jobs” Mike Rowe, whose message focused more on the value of all types of work rather than on anything specifically tech-focused, and the “Most Admired Companies” panel which, although did speak to workplace technologies, also touched on bigger themes like the need for HR to become more “human” again.

Nope, it’s not make sure you have your ticket! Or that you have your agenda worked out in advance (although that would be helpful!). No, i’m assuming you have those details all sorted and are, like me, already on your way to the HR Technology Conference which kicks off this Tuesday. I will be arriving early to attend the excellent pre event run by Bret Start and his team over at the Star Conspiracy - InfluenceHR - which kicks off on Monday.

One of the highlights of the HR Technology Conference and Exposition for me over the past couple of years has been the Women in HR Technology event. A half day event occurring on the first day of the conference, it brings together some of the most successful women in the space to address questions like how do we attract more women into tech and HR tech roles, and how do we help those in the field overcome the challenges of working in a historically male dominated field to thrive and ultimately grow into leadership roles?

Meghan Brio & Kevin Grossman: How HR Technologies Empower Candidate and Employee Experience

It’s well-documented in business today that poor customer service impacts customer retention, referrals and potential new business. Social media has given consumers an open forum to share both good and bad product and service experiences to all who will listen. The same can now be said for discerning job seekers and employees, and for too long candidate and employer experience has been given little attention. What's clear in the research today from the likes of Talent Board and other research firms -- negative candidate experiences can prevent qualified people from applying again, referring others and making purchases of consumer-based businesses. And poor employee experiences can lead to low employee engagement, dismal productivity and poor retention.

The Real Economists of HR Technology: Using Big Data to Drive HR Decision-Making

The world is changing rapidly — making it hard for many HR organizations to keep up. Shifts in workforce and labor economics in emerging markets are about to affect traditional human capital management models. The average age of experienced workers in the U.S., Europe and Asia is increasing, and they're more likely to change jobs frequently. Meanwhile, the supply of young, tech-savvy workers is growing in other parts of the world like South America and Africa — outside of the scope of most talent acquisition strategies. HR Tech will feature a panel of economists from three of the biggest talent acquisition solution providers presenting about these important trends, and how you can best leverage the trends and data in your talent strategies.
