HR Happy Hour 477 - Improving Employee Experience with HR Technology

Hosts: Steve Boese, Trish McFarlane

Guest: Tiffany Gamblin, HR Manager, Paycom

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, we were joined by Paycom's Tiffany Gamblin to talk about employee frustrations with HR technology, and how a smart application of modern, cloud-based HR technology tools can make an impactful difference in improving productivity and employee experience. Recent research shows that almost 80% of employees are frustrated with their workplace technologies, and this frustration can increase stress, impede employees in their efforts to get their jobs done, and ultimately, can impact employer reputation and employee retention. Additionally, Tiffany discussed the importance of HR being present and responsive to employee needs, and how technology helps HR stay connected to what is now for many companies a distributed and remote workforce. Finally, we talked about the problems that arise when too many disparate HR tech systems are deployed in an organization, and the challenges that presents to employee experience and productivity, and Tiffany shared some advice for making the case for updated and better HR tech for your organization.

We also talked about our favorite food and beverage items we have stocked up on this past year.
