According to new research findings by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company, top performing companies are 26% more likely than all other organizations to use mobile tools to facilitate Human capital management processes and workflows.
Mollie Lombardi, senior research analyst with Aberdeen's Human Capital Management practice said the study also revealed these findings:
- “By streamlining workflows and approval processes, organizations using mobility tools in HCM saw a 13% year-over-year increase in manager productivity versus a 6% improvement for organizations not using mobile technology.
- “In addition, 65% of employees at companies using mobility tools for HCM rated themselves as "highly engaged" -- versus 57% at organizations without mobile HCM.”
- "Mobile devices are seen as not just an extension of existing tools, but as a new medium through which to attract, retain, develop and manage people within the organization."

"Organizations face a bewildering array of technology solution providers who claim to deliver comprehensive Integrated Talent Management suites, and it is often difficult to separate vendor hype from the realities that customers experience as they try to implement these systems."
Every day, organizations around the globe respond to the pressing need to effectively manage and support their workforce by trying to implement robust HCM / HRMS solutions at the speed of business. However, as research continues to point out, when various trade-offs and underlying dependencies are not fully taken into account, the wide range of positive business outcomes expected from these solutions often gets translated into a much more narrow range of tangible business benefits.
