At this year’s conference, they note a marked shift from merely implementing technology for technology's sake to how it can genuinely enhance workplace dynamics and employee satisfaction. The emphasis is now on finding technology that opens up avenues for better communication, understanding, and support between employees and management, while also making HR tasks seamless and giving back valuable time for what truly matters — human connection.
