Many organizations are facing significant challenges with their HR technology solutions. According to a Gartner study, over 50% of HR leaders report that these solutions do not meet current and future business needs, and 83% of HR software buyers express moderate or high regret following their purchase decisions. A common obstacle is competing internal priorities, where organizations struggle to build consensus on the critical outcomes HR technology must achieve for stakeholders such as HR, IT, finance, employees, managers and leaders. Additionally, the wide array of technology options makes it difficult for organizations to navigate the complex and evolving HR technology market and assess potential options for their future-state technology portfolio.
