Canadian Retailer - The Human Resources Issue - 34

HR TECHNOLOGY

Successful retailers are increasingly using cuttingedge technologies to improve human resources
processes and organizational efficiencies.
BY RANDY SCOTLAND

WHEN it comes to embracing new technology, retail HR professionals are
like tardy guests at a party-late to arrive, but eager to make up for lost time.
While other departments (think marketing and sales) have long adopted
advanced tech solutions to enhance efficiency and performance, HR has
lagged behind. Part of that is because of budgetary considerations, and part
is due to legacy systems and protocols.
"I see lots of HR departments that are sort of sitting on the sidelines waiting
to get their marching orders, if you will, from the C-Suite, and they don't have
a seat at the table," observes Lisa Hutcheson, Senior Advisor, Innovation and
Non-traditional Retail at J.C. Williams Group.
"But if they understand that an HR strategy that's robust with technology
is seen as part of the strategy for success for the retailer, I think that's how
they can get these things implemented."
