Overview
Free for CIPD members and Core Learning Subscribers.

The way we are working is changing, and technology is omnipresent in the people profession. Whilst technology can improve productivity and enhance the relationship between people and organisation, we must also heed the risks. Technology should help people flourish, add business value and enhance the people proposition.

This short online course starts by exploring the scale and scope of a typical HR technology environment. It then provides an essential overview of the key factors to consider to better understand these various technologies and their application. Developed by author of Introduction to HR Technologies, Stacey Harris, the programme includes real-world case studies to demonstrate how other organisations have implemented technology successfully.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify the required skills and infrastructure to achieve organisational and people goals using technology. They will also gain confidence in their role to contribute to decision-making, demonstrating risk awareness whilst leveraging technology for optimum outcomes.

All CIPD Learning courses will automatically provide you with access to the CIPD Learning Hub, our online learning platform, for 24 months.

The hub will house your course content, as well as useful resources, tools, and a community of professionals that you can tap into to support your learning and continual development.
