Stiff resistance among employees is the biggest roadblock to HR tech adoption: TimesJobs Tech & HR Survey

New Delhi – 4th July, 2019 – At a time when technology is making strides in all spheres, employees still seem hesitant adopting the new and savvy ways of working. This resistance from employees (31%) remains the biggest barrier in adopting technology for HR processes revealed a TimesJobs survey on ‘Decoding the impact of Tech in HR’. The survey was conducted among 1,380 HR leaders to decipher the impact of technology use in HR.

The lack of knowledge or technical skills (30%) was cited as the second biggest hindrance for HR technology adoption at Indian workplaces.

The key findings were:

  • 35% survey respondents said that the biggest impact of technology in HR has been in streamlining the recruitment processes
  • 48% of survey takers said organisations are using HR tech mostly to hire middle-level professionals
  • 59% of HR leaders said that investment in technology has boosted the profitability of organisations

Around 46% of HR leaders said that the adoption rate of technology in human resources function is going to go up by 3-4 times in the next five years.

Whereas, functionality and easy maintenance of software were ranked as the subsequent factors for the companies to consider HR software. Price ranked as the last factor while buying an HR software.

“The use of technology can no longer be just an option for HR leaders. To win the war of talent, they will have to continuously invest in new tools and technologies to make their processes efficient and improve productivity. The TimesJobs survey findings reveal that the change has started happening on the ground and more companies are becoming tech-focused.
