I recently attended a networking event and the keynote speaker’s topic was: “Using AI to Boost Revenue”.  Such an exhilarating topic but the one thing that really stuck with me was the picture of a blacksmith forging a horseshoe and, in the background, through the window, a Model T Ford can be seen.

The picture was used to highlight the analogy of how times change and if we don’t adapt with it, then we will become obsolete.  With the advent of motor vehicles, the blacksmith could choose to continue plying his trade however horses along with his services would not be needed soon. Alternatively, he could adapt and use his skills in the motor industry forging body parts, etc. hence future proofing himself.

It still astounds me as to how many companies are still using manual labour-intensive systems particularly for HR and Payroll functions.  Technology has taken leaps and bounds in the past decade and Payroll and HR is no exception.  Those that choose to use tools like Employee Self Service (ESS), Online Recruitment and Performance Management, Electronic Payslips, etc. to advance their business, saving time and money whilst empowering their employees can focus on growing their business rather than wasting resources on tasks that can be managed through technology.
