New research commissioned by Jigsaw Cloud surveys the views of leading HR Professionals. “People are my priority…”

New talent (27%), staff retention (24%), and learning & development (22%) are the top 3 priorities of HR Professionals in 2016.

But HR Professionals’ fourth priority – technology – is increasingly the one that makes everything possible. Nearly half (46%) of all HR Professionals rank technology in their top 3 priorities.

The rise of dedicated HR software…

Over four in five HR Professionals (83%) say they now use specialist HR Software. A range of different packages are in use, with successfactors being the most popular named provider (38%) among our survey respondents, closely followed by Oracle.
