In our relentless pursuit of HR and Recruiting Technology innovation are we losing sight of its ultimate purpose? Is all the bright shiny new software on the market actually serving the needs of the ultimate end users in the way it should be? These are interesting questions and my guest this week has some very strong opinions about them.
Laurie Ruettimann is a well-known blogger, speaker and ex HR professional. She has also just launched an excellent podcast called Let’s Fix Work.
In the interview we discuss:
• The clash between the way people actually behave and how technologists think they should behave
• Why HR Technology needs to be Business Technology
• The vital importance of human relationships in business
• Why an app will not solve workplace harassment
• Why Talent pools don’t exist
• Empowerment in the employee experience
• Why software vendors need to be closer to their customers
Laurie also share her predictions for the future and gives us a preview of what is coming up on her podcast
