[2] Core Technologies Powering Digital HRM in the IT Sector
Development
of Digital HRM in the IT sector is closely tied to the evolution of new
technologies that streamline processes and enable strategic decision-making.
These innovations are not just transforming how HR operates but are also
shaping employee expectations and organizational performance.
HRIS
and Automation
Human
Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have become the strength of Digital HRM.
These platforms re centrally handling employee data, automate routine functions
such as payroll, leave tracking and performance management and generate
dashboards for quick decision-making. In the IT industry, where fast scaling
and data accuracy are critical, HRIS helps maintain structure and agility
simultaneously (Marler & Parry, 2016). Automation further reduces the administrative workload on HR departments,
allowing them to focus on high-impact functions such as talent development, strategy
and engagement.
AI
and People Analytics
Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is now a key player in HR (As any other industry). AI tools
assist in talent acquisition by scanning candidate applications, conducting
behavioral analysis, and even scheduling interviews. Beyond recruitment, people
analytics use big data to predict employee turnover, monitor performance
trends, and identify skills gaps. For IT firms managing complex teams across
geographies, these insights support better workforce planning (Tursunbayeva et al., 2018). AI also enhances
personalization in learning and development by recommending relevant content
based on employee character specific roles and performance.
While
these technologies offer strategic value, successful implementation depends on
integration and user readiness. Companies must invest in training HR staff and
ensure ethical use of employee data, especially in data-driven environments
like IT.
