HRDive,”Budget cuts, sluggish recruiting hurt digital transformation plans”
Employers’ digital transformation efforts for 2019 are being hindered by reduced budgets and sluggish talent acquisition, according to a new report by The Hackett Group. The IT service company’s survey of 150 executives in the U.S. and abroad found HR operating budgets could shrink by 0.2% year-over-year, with headcounts potentially seeing a similar decline by 0.4%. However, a majority of respondents nevertheless expect to see digital transformation make an impact within the next two to three years.
