Aberdeen and HCI released a new report today called "the HR Executives Agenda" based on interviews with 98 executives who are members of HCI’s online community. Get it here and/or read the press release.
Some juicy nuggets:
-
59% said improving their HCM technology is a key response to the business challenges they face. Of those HCM technologies, online performance management systems are the leading planned expenditure.
-
In considering technology, HR execs say they are most concerned with the best functionality first and foremost – but they prefer either an integrated suite of applications or "best of breed" software that can be integrated.
-
Interesting to me is that executives said the method by which HCM software is delivered (in-house, stand-alone, part of ERP, 3rd party hosted or completely outsourced) is only somewhat important but 46% of companies called "best in class" plan to increase their use of ASP solutions.
