The potential of this data remains largely untapped due to a lack of analytics capabilities and outdated systems. To transition effectively to data-driven entities, HR units should harness technology that enables strategic data utilization. The shift toward data-centric operations will elevate the role of HR, transforming it from a support function to a strategic partner within businesses. Data-driven insights will become increasingly crucial as companies compete to attract and retain top talent. This evolution, empowered by technology, positions the HR department at the heart of strategic decision making." - Senior Research Analyst Ivan Oz, Software, IDC Europe
