The future of HR is in mobile apps. The HR department that finds a way to provide service to their customers via mobile apps will provide a great asset to their company when it comes to creating a great work place. Soon there will be a HR mobile app for everything. Even now employees can check most if not all HR functions on their mobile devices. People now expect to have great service given to them by all types of businesses via their mobile device. They expect to receive the same great service from their companies HR department.

Time spent on mobile devices continues to greatly increase and those HR departments that are able to provide HR services via mobile devices will provide immense value to their employees. As stated by @josh_bersin in HR Technology for 2016: 10 Big Disruptions on the Horizon posted on http://www.bersin.com/blog/post/HR-Technology-For-2016-Ten-Disruptions-On-The-Horizon.aspx. We need to think of HR mobile apps as employee tools and not HR tools. Our employees will demand ease of use and we will be expected to provide this to them.

Employees will expect to have access to the same information as HR does. The days of HR hoarding information is long past us. Employees will want and demand to know how and why we made decisions that affect them and what information we used to make these decisions. People expect and demand instant access to everything now. The best way to achieve this freedom of HR information is via HR Mobile Apps.

Will you and your HR department be part of the future of HR and embrace HR Mobile Apps or will you continue to retain your HR legacy systems?
