LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — With an average spend of over £340,000 on human resources (HR) technology in the past year, it is clear that HR processes are undergoing a digital revolution as businesses look to stay ahead of the curve (HR Technologies UK Pulse Survey Report, 2024). Against this backdrop, HR Technologies UK will unite the entire HR industry at the ExCeL, London from 17-18 April 2024, as businesses increasingly recognise the need to leverage technology to streamline processes centric to its people.
HR professionals can immerse themselves in the forefront of the people function at the second edition of HR Technologies UK. This two-day event explores the industry’s key topics, from talent acquisition, development and retention to culture and learning & development, with a focus on emerging trends. 93% of respondents from the HR Tech Pulse Survey 2024 – commissioned by the event organisers – acknowledge the critical role of technology in addressing HR challenges, highlighting the growing importance of HR information systems, performance analytics, and employee engagement platforms.
Attendees will be able to network with industry giants such as Sage, Workday, UKG, and Oracle, alongside a variety of start-up companies emerging in the HR technology space.
