Wouldn’t you like to interview top HRIT executives and ask them, “How do you make important HR technology decisions?”

In the first annual HRIT Roadmap Survey,
We just did that!.

From the survey results, we learned how top organizations are managing the supply and demand of HRIT from a technical, skills, and strategic perspective.

This session will look at how they make important HR technology decisions including areas such as:

• Prioritization,
• Integration of disparate systems,
• Governance, workforce analytics,
