Article : Good Evening Friday Management TASK 258- Technology seeping into HR functional vertical making it as an essential functional vertical for business decisions which once was known to be a paper-intensive and non-innovative.

With the changing times and advancement of technology, many of the industries are moved on to technology based applications for shop floor as well as other wings of operations. With an aspiration to be on evolution path Mr Ravi has discussed with the management on the need of technology support for further business growth and workmen engagement. On his part he explained how technology is impacting the world we live in and did mention that traditionally HR was always viewed as a paper-intensive, non-innovative area, where salary decisions are made, people get hired or fired and team building sessions are organized. But behind the scenes, the industry is changing and incorporating technology at a rapid pace, even if it wasn’t designed for HR to start with.
He stressed that every organization identifies employee engagement, talent retention, competitive compensation, and development of organizational leaders for tomorrow as major human capital challenges. So as an evolutionary part he expressed that M/s Ashoka should also think on this aspect of technology adoption.
