Roger Philby, Founder, The Chemistry Group - Billions is being spent on HR and the technology is more advanced than ever, but workforce productivity is at its most static in recent history. - Is new technology accounting for the ever-evolving ways in which we are working? And though it provides the data, are we using it properly? - Does HR Tech simply mean we are making the same old mistakes - just more quickly?

not solving it at all…)

14. I have learned that people
will forget what you said,
people will forget what you
did, but people will never
forget how you made
them feel.
-Maya Angelou

15. Go and apply for a
job through your
own process, ask a
family member to
do the same thing –
record how it feels!
When buying tech,
ask yourself who
does it serve, “us
or the applicant?”
As you seek to
automate your
processes, focus
on making the
human elements
even more delightful
