HR Technology

HR technology is software and related digital infrastructure used to manage workforce information and employment processes. It includes payroll systems, recruitment tools, learning platforms and employee portals.

Example

A business uses a payroll application to calculate earnings and deductions and a separate applicant tracking system to manage candidates for open roles.

What to keep in mind

Evaluate data security, integration, accessibility and support alongside features. The employer remains responsible for how a system is used, including errors or unfair decisions arising from its configuration.
