To continue our discussion of the benefits of HR management systems started in<\/span>\u00a0Part 1<\/a>\u00a0of this article, we cannot omit the current trends of HR software development. With a major shift from simplified employee assessment to advanced performance management tools and platforms, HR is entering the world of high data-driven technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As if things were not promising enough, the<\/span>\u00a0Society of Human Resource Management<\/a>\u00a0published an article, based o<\/span>n\u00a0CB Insights<\/a>, stating, \u201cInvestors, seeking the next big thing in breakthrough technology, plunged more than $2 billion into HR tech systems and platforms in 2016.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, HR management systems come stuffed with new, uncommon features and tools making the choice of a proper system even harder. The modern trends below will give you some insight on what you can expect from the latest HRMSs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Current Trends in HR software<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gamification of HR management<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In simple words, gamification is the implementation of game-thinking and game mechanics in real-life scenarios, like recruitment practices, employee training, motivation, assessment, and incentives policy to increase staff involvement and engagement to fulfill a company’s goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many established and globally known organizations use gamification to build strong relationships between their employees, improve staff qualifications or solve chronic business issues; they include Marriott, Deloitte, Cognizant, Aetna, and many others. The common game techniques involve setting objectives, increasing fair competition between employees, supporting real-time feedback and implementing rewards systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Deloitte Leadership Academy<\/i>\u00a0is now bringing learning practices to a new level by applying gamification via Badgeville to raise knowledge interchange and brand awareness.\u00a0TCS<\/i>\u00a0has gone further by introducing game engines enabling the creation of real-life ecosystems with integrated networking functions, inducing the development of<\/span>\u00a0Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games<\/a>\u00a0(MMORPGs). Its application in real businesses\u2019 training programs and simulations potentially leads to deeper collaboration and teamwork as well as reduces the bore of solo-training.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Visual communication channels<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Video conferencing (VC) allows for a higher quality and accuracy of applicants review yet provides the atmosphere of interpersonal connection. It is perfect for setting effective communication channels with the home-based staff, ensuring the solid employees\u2019 involvement in company\u2019s affairs. With<\/span>\u00a087% of remote respondents<\/a>\u00a0affirming they feel more attached to their teams and work processes using video-calls. Moreover, video conferencing offers a number of \u2018comfort\u2019 advantages, like flexibility, reduced travel costs, and time-saving.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to<\/span>\u00a0OWLlabs stats<\/a>, 93% of respondents confirm VC effectively improves the involvement of remote employees. 81% of interviewed people agree VC boosts the productiveness of individual employees, 71% point to it strengthening relationships with customers, and 59% mention better sales results.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2017,<\/span>\u00a064%<\/a>\u00a0of companies had established video conferencing kits in small office spaces for up to 5 employees on each side of the screen. The available\u00a0<\/span>stats from Stanford University<\/a>\u00a0show doubled numbers of video conferencing over one year, from 31,403 participants in 2016 to 64,448 participants in 2017. The number of university meetings held using the VD tools increased from 9,872 in 2016 to 13,626 in the same period of 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the market share of enterprise video conferencing predicted to reach<\/span>\u00a0$4.48 billion by 2023, experts claim 50%<\/a>\u00a0of the workforce is switching to telecommunication within a decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
