Episode 34 | Tech Event Insights
The Big Themes:
- Employee hiring and development trends: AI is enabling predictive candidate performance analysis, and refining job descriptions. Employee engagement and well-being are crucial in the remote and hybrid work landscape, with HR addressing concerns like burnout and mental health to retain talent. Data-driven decisions empowered by AI are enhancing HR functions.
- Financial wellness: Earned wage access is a key development in HR tech, reflecting the growing importance of employee and contract or gig worker financial wellness. This concept allows workers to access their earned wages before the traditional payday, providing them with more control over their finances and potentially reducing financial stress.

The key question is whether these technologies will truly transform and enhance processes or if they will remain as mere buzzwords. She also sees the slowdown in talent acquisition.
