The HR technology market is exploding with shiny new platforms, bold promises, and enough AI terminology to make even the most experienced HR leader’s head spin. But which technologies are truly transforming HR and which are simply eye candy? In this fast-paced, highly practical webinar, HR technology expert Tim Sackett will showcase some of the hottest solutions being used across the HR function and reveal where technology is delivering the greatest business impact.
We’ll explore innovations transforming talent acquisition, employee experience, learning and development, performance management, workforce planning, HR analytics, internal mobility, and more. You’ll see how organizations are using generative AI, predictive AI, conversational AI, agentic AI, and automation to eliminate administrative work, improve decision-making, personalize employee experiences, and help HR teams operate at an entirely new level. Just as importantly, we’ll separate genuine innovation from technology that looks impressive but may not solve a meaningful HR problem.
Finally, we’ll demystify MCP (Model Context Protocol) and explain why it could become one of the most important developments in the next generation of HR technology. As AI agents increasingly connect with HR platforms, organizational data, and workplace tools, HR leaders must understand how these technologies communicate and work together. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of the connected HR technology ecosystem, the questions to ask vendors, and the innovations worth watching, testing, and investing in.
What we’ll explore:
- The hottest technologies emerging across the entire HR function
- The differences between generative, predictive, conversational, and agentic AI
- Real-world examples of technologies making a measurable impact on HR
- How AI agents, automation, HR platforms, data, and workplace tools connect
- What MCP is and why HR leaders need to understand it
- How to distinguish meaningful innovation from well-marketed “eye candy”
