AI is coming, but is HR ready? HRExecutive.com

A new report from software company Sage titled The Changing Face of HR finds that 82% of HR leaders anticipate their role will be "almost completely unrecognizable" within 10 years. And yet, despite this predicted sea change, the survey's findings reveal that most of these leaders consider themselves and their organizations poorly prepared for such a transformation. For example, nearly half (43%) of the 500 HR leaders at mid-sized organizations surveyed believe their organization will not keep up with related changes in technology during the next decade. Fewer than one in three consider their skills at an "expert" level for the change, 57% say they can't invest in new technology because of resourcing restrictions and only 25% consider themselves tech-savvy. "It's clear that while many companies are adopting new technologies and making advancements within their HR departments on their journey towards a'People' function, just as many remain resistant to invest," says Paul Burrin, Sage's vice president of people.
