HR Tech – From Sideshow to Strategic Enabler

Your HR tech stack should accelerate transformation—not become a parallel universe where dashboards go to die.

The Real Story: A global retail chain embedded performance dashboards into its HR tech, directly tied to transformation KPIs. Managers could track frontline alignment in real time. Accountability improved. Slippage reduced.

The Strategic Shift: Too often, HR tech is bought in isolation—like a shiny new treadmill that no one uses. But when aligned with transformation goals, HR tech becomes a force multiplier. Think capability mapping, pulse surveys, and performance tracking—all feeding into the transformation engine.

People analytics takes it a step further. If you can measure churn risk in customers, why not measure change risk in teams? One fintech firm used analytics to spot disengagement early, intervened with targeted support, and reduced attrition by 20%.

If your HR tech can’t tell you who’s resisting change, it’s time to upgrade—or at least stop pretending your Excel macros are “AI.”
