A well-integrated IT system can play a key role in enabling HR professionals to help drive business performance, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development’s recent research report HR and technology: impact and advantage. But people management professionals need to work in partnership with their IT team to ensure they are making the right choices for their organisation.
The CIPD’s HR Software Show 2007 will give practitioners an opportunity to explore how technology can be used to deliver and support HR activities. This year’s show features a full programme of free showcase presentations, including findings from the CIPD research, alongside an exhibition of leading suppliers and industry specialists.
Showcase speakers include:
- Emma Parry, Research Fellow, Cranfield School of Management on the effect of technology on HR
- George Bishop, Personnel Director, Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea on selecting and implementing a new HR IT System
- Bobby Davis, Group People Director of Hanover Housing on choosing the right HR software to achieve strategic organisational success
New launches and previews at the exhibition will also provide further insights into latest technological developments supporting the HR function. The event is co-located with a new recruitment exhibition, highlighting the growing use of web-based tools in the recruitment and talent management process.
