HR Realities Research 2021

Fosway’s ongoing HR Realities research is now in its eighth year. The headline results of the 2021 HR Realities research, first announced at the Exclusive UNLEASH “The good, the bad and the ugly of HR Tech today” webinar, are showcased below, further extending our existing body of research.

With input from 200+ senior HR leaders, from predominantly enterprise organisations across Europe, the research highlights the changing face of HR today, and looks ahead to the landscape of tomorrow. This research highlights HR’s increasingly strategic role within organisations and how they can best leverage and apply the available technology by:

  • Understanding better the overall business challenges
  • Being aware of skills gaps, hiring issues and employee development and retention
  • Using high quality data analytics more effectively
  • Preparing for a digital ready culture

The HR innovation highlighted by this research shows how HR professionals have stepped up to accelerate and support changes in working practices. The data shows the focus for HR technology investments in the coming year is on reimagining the people experience so organisations can expect to see disruption across key HR domains including analytics, learning and development, onboarding and employee engagement.

The world of work has changed forever. But whilst early adopters are realising the potential of innovations like opportunity market places, people intelligence and skills to personalise the employee experience – many organisations are being left behind. Only 38% think their HR systems are fit for the modern workforce. That’s why HR innovation isn’t just a nice to have – its a necessity.
