The challenges of the past year have made it the most difficult of many people’s working lives, and HR is no exception. The pressure to keep pace with an uncertain economic climate and adapt to changing priorities, while faced with an increased workload, has left many in the function yet to catch a breath. 

Getting bogged down in admin is the undoing of every great people manager.

And can a software package honestly help you manage people issues like a human being, rather than a robot?
