If the pandemic made HR the centre of attention of the board for the first time, it also radically changed the HR tech marketplace, and for good.
Companies found through the global health crisis that they needed technology to help employees working remotely stay productive, and increasingly to ensure workplaces are safe and can support new health protocols.
There’s been the need, despite freezes on spending, to recruit and onboard new employees in our currently predominantly virtual world.
As a result of the pandemic there has been increased HR tech spending. According to a 2020 study by PwC, even pre-pandemic, 74% of companies surveyed plan to increase HR tech spending, and that’s on top of the $310 average per US employee they already spend on HR-related tech.
