Abstract

Technology & HR-Leverage one for the other “Technology and HR are enablers of business. Integration of the two would mean not only harmonious co-existence but also leveraging one for the other. Leveraging of technology for HR would mean digitizing the mundane HR activities and automating the back office and transactional activities related to recruitment, performance management, career planning, and succession planning, training and knowledge management. The leverage plays a key role in helping world-class HR executives generate significant return on investment in the form of decreased costs, less staff, and a wide range of other efficiency and effectiveness benefits. Another area of HR, which is leveraging technology, is employee development. Programmed learning (PL) i.e. learning at its own pace is one of the most effective ways of adult learning. Companies can harness the knowledge of its employees by cataloging and hosting it on the intranet. Talk to 'Big-5' or not 'so big' consulting companies you will find that main stay of their business is the knowledge repository. Leveraging HR for technology implies managing change associated with technology by way of E-communication, E-training, E-recruiting, and E-employee book. Thus they can play complementary roles.” 

Technology and communication both have one thing common i.e., both these are enablers of business.
