There is now an impetus for HR pros to grasp digital/technology skills in a bid to deliver higher-quality work in the function.

A new generation of tech-savvy employees is entering the workforce. It’s not surprising then that companies are starting to embrace the use of technology more fully to make work more effective.

With the changing demands of the workplace, the role of HR has also been shifting. There is now an impetus for HR pros to grasp digital/technology skills in a bid to deliver higher-quality work in the function.

Digital tech skills enable them to simplify complex tasks, automate mundane and repetitive ones, and thus manage a hybrid team more easily. Here are basic digital skills that every HR pro should master:

People analytics

People analytics can help with tracking employee data in real time, whether they are working remotely or on-site. It can provide visual maps and hierarchy trees of employee data, which can give HR leaders insights into patterns of activities and behaviours that would otherwise go unnoticed or be taken for granted.
