Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most obvious impact of technology on HRM has been operational, as it has greatly streamlined and automated many of the administrative tasks such as payroll, benefits management, and employee record-keeping. This has allowed HR professionals to focus on more strategic and value-added activities such as recruitment, performance management, and employee development. While technology has certainly facilitated HR research and compliance with government regulations, these are not the most obvious or significant impacts. And while outsourcing is often enabled by technology, it is not a direct impact of technology on HRM.
