Last week, Human Resource Executive held their annual HR Technology Conference and Expo in Chicago. The conference, also known as HR Tech, brings together the top providers of HR technology in the space and “focuses on the business process and organizational success enabled by technology.”
This year’s conference was one of the largest and most successful yet. So we put this quick roundup together for those who didn’t have a chance to attend, and for attendees who might not have gotten a chance to check all the boxes on their HR Tech 2016 bucketlist.
Here are a few quick takeaways to digest:
