Welcome to this episode of "Let's Humanize The Workplace," where we'll explore the digital transformation reshaping organizations' approaches to human resources.

During this episode, Vivian Acquah will spotlight an impactful resource in this transformation: Marlene de Koning's "HR Tech Strategy." This book emerges as a strategic compass for businesses keen on leveraging technology to enhance the employee experience and secure business success in today's rapidly evolving workplace landscape.

"HR Tech Strategy" taps into various critical aspects of modern work dynamics, ranging from refining employee skills for the future, navigating the complexities of hybrid work models, bolstering employee well-being, ensuring fairness and equity, to harnessing the power of people analytics and exploring the developing opportunities within the metaverse. With an abundance of real-world examples, actionable tips, and ethical frameworks, the book serves as an indispensable guide for HR professionals looking to integrate technology thoughtfully and effectively in their practices.

A central theme of de Koning's work is the indispensable role of technology in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) alongside fostering wellness in the workplace. These elements are not just moral imperatives but are increasingly recognized as critical drivers of positive work culture, employee engagement, performance, and compliance. In essence, DEI and wellness are becoming the cornerstones of successful, resilient organizations.
