How technology and data are changing the reward and employee benefits function
This 64-page research identifies three key themes about how employers want to use technology. These themes are: a drive to integrate separate reward platforms into a centralised ‘one-stop-shop’ for reward; a desire to increase personalisation to the employee value proposition; and, the slow move towards increased use of advanced analytics.
