Have two minutes to help us out? We are running a super quick, totally anonymous survey (just three multi choice questions!) for NZ businesses with 50 to 1000 staff. We’d love to know what payroll and HR systems you’re using to help us understand the tech landscape for small to medium-sized businesses in NZ. We’ll be sharing the results once we have them, so if you’re curious, jump in and let us know! https://lnkd.in/geyPCy-n

HR Tech Fest is done and dusted, and the same things came up over and over. People either using tools that don't do what they need, or people regretting the tool they had bought. The numbers back it up. 83% of HR tech buyers experience regret after buying. 25% of implementations never meet expectations. That's not a technology problem. That's a readiness problem. So we built two ways to check yours before you spend a cent. A quick general assessment if you're still figuring out what you need, and a deeper implementation readiness check if you're about to commit and want to know where the risk actually sits. Ten minutes now versus a very expensive regret later. Our main aim is to help you have no regrets and get the solution that works for your organisation! https://lnkd.in/ey8M6XCK

After an unintentionally long delay, the new edition of HR Tech Talks is out, and it covers what's actually happening in the market right now: where AI adoption is accelerating, where readiness isn't keeping up, and why most implementations still come unstuck long after the contract is signed. There's also a free resource in there. The HR Tech Playbook is a practical guide for people leaders in Australia and New Zealand on how to choose and implement HR technology without getting burned. A framework we've built from seeing the good, the bad and the ugly across over 200 implementations across the region. Link to the newsletter below!

83% of HR tech buyers experience regret. That's not a quirky stat. That's almost every implementation. Most projects go wrong before they even start. A platform gets chosen for the demo. The team that was meant to champion it is exhausted by month four. A year later, half the modules are unused and someone is quietly asking if they picked the right thing. Don't be a statistic. The playbook is how you make the move once and don't regret the decision two months down the track.

A total system transformation in 6 weeks? Impossible surely? What typically takes 11 weeks for Core HR alone, Mighty Ape delivered in six. With the Talent module on top. The HR function had been running entirely on Excel. Six weeks after kick-off they were live across Core HR, Hiring, and Performance, with 15 active roles being recruited through the platform and managers using the org chart daily. "If we'd spread it out over months, it never would've happened." Jason Blackmore, former Head of People at Mighty Ape, on why focus and protected time were the difference. The full case study is in the playbook.

Selecting the right HR platform is one decision. Getting it working the way your organisation actually works is an entirely different one - and it's where most of the real effort goes. The best implementations don't just deliver a configured system. They take the time to understand your people, your processes and your ways of working before anyone touches the software. They make sure your team is ready before go-live, not just technically trained. And they stick around long enough to see it properly embedded. That's the work Tomorrow's People does. And now we've written the ultimate HR Tech Playbook. Formed from experiencing the good, the bad and the ugly of over 200 implementation across ANZ. Download here.
