"He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata. What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, it is the people, it is the people." - Maori Proverb

Amidst the growing concerns that smart tech and AI will take over our jobs, I’m here to tell you that technology can’t outdo humans just yet. The Maori proverb above explains why. Even in this digital age with increased automation, a business is nothing without the humans that breathe it to life. Similarly, HR is nothing without the professionals that bring an important shade of grey to the otherwise black and white corporate environment. So rather than fear technology and automation, is there a way we can collaborate with it to work smarter?

As HR professionals, we play an integral role in the employee journey from recruitment onwards, but sometimes it feels as if our work knows no bounds. We can have the best intentions and checklists that cover everything we need to complete, but once the work leaves our desks and falls into the hands of others, the wheels of the project can fall off. We understand that people can get side-tracked by other business-critical tasks, but we don’t always have the time to chase.
