Many organizations are looking for digital leaders who have an understanding of different technologies, business functions, and industries, along with impeccable interdisciplinary skills. These digital leaders can manage teams that include full- and part-time workers and can drive a company culture of continuous improvement and learning. They take risks and embrace innovation. However, not many organizations have moved quick enough to cultivate this kind of leaders. Fostering them is especially important for organizations undergoing IT and business transformation.

Today's workplace is changing almost beyond recognition. The traditional model of rewarding an employee with life-long employment is no longer the norm, nor is a strict hierarchical system. In today's world, information is available anywhere and at any time. New networks of teams are being created to adapt to this trend, and the most sought-after talents are adaptability, agility, and the motivation to learn and grow steadily.

HR technology is evolving like never before. From talent analytics to assessment science, social and referral recruiting, mid-market core HR systems and online learning, new and improved tools are helping HR teams better manage employee communications, recognition, engagement and overall wellness in the workplace.
