Renewed Interest in HR Systems

As the economy improves, employers will look to improve their HR systems, processes, and organizational structures, according to experts at global consulting firm Watson Wyatt.

In 2010, the emphasis will be on HR technology, and Watson Wyatt identifies several emerging themes for the coming year.

These include scrutinizing vendor relationships and sourcing options; globalizing the HR function; and investing in a consumer-grade experience for workers.

It all bodes well from the standpoint of HR efficiency--and for providers of talent management technologies and services that can deliver what employers seek.
