We who champion the cause of technology for human resources like to bemoan the glacial pace at which, at times, HR departments adopt technology. But let’s be honest with ourselves: When the opportunity is clear for them to absolve themselves of responsibility for failure, aren’t HR leaders just as quick, as they're otherwise slow, to implement technology? “It’s the technology’s fault,” they might hope to say when matters turn for the worse, and HR process is actually to blame.

For this week’s #HRTechChat, let’s get ahead of ourselves to look behind us. The weeks blur together anyway, and, if we don’t do this now, the New Year will be nigh, and we’ll have run out of time; the pressure to predict human resource technology’s future will be upon us before we’ve even had the chance to examine and meditate on just what happened to human resource technology in 2012. Let’s go negative, too: There is time for that, as good tidings and cheer aren’t quite upon us yet.
 

Or, “Hey, guys, can I play?” Or, “Hey, guys, wait for me!” Let’s personify HR technology for this week’s #HRTechChat. Can’t you just hear the human resource technology, alone on the playground, plastic bat in hand, beseeching his friends to play a pick-up game of whiffle ball? Those other kids constitute the HR department.

Against the backdrop of a gambling frenzy, spectators fix their gaze on an oval testing the pride of racing equines. Racehorses draw crowds; workhorses draw carriages and tills. Workforce management—talent management, it is not. Perceived to be tedious and dull, nothing but the elements comprising a cost center only one-dimensionally important to business strategy and unrelated to the higher levels of employee happiness, workforce management is, arguably, the very reason that HR invented the term talent management years ago.

Observers of human capital management like to talk about human resources gaining a seat at the table of organizational leadership. That refrain has echoed for years, and the implicit assumption seems to be that the C-suite is paying attention to things other than what C-level people perceive human resources to be. Well, that’s true, and it’s why human resource thought leaders began advancing the notion of talent management over a decade ago.
