Meet the new names in HR

Expect more names and capabilities in the future as technology continues to reshape the HR profession.

One hallmark of a good HR person is knowing the names of as many employees as possible. Thanks to emerging technology, it’s also now possible to be on a first-name basis with many technologies that are making the HR department more efficient and productive.Buck, Sofia and Alice are just a few of the fresh faces that are bringing high-tech solutions to a high-touch profession.

“Advisors tell us that their clients are expecting best-in-breed administrative services for specific HR needs, but also need hub experience providers that can bring it all together,” says Scot Marcotte, chief technology officer for Buck in New York City. “To that end, we’re seeing an explosion of service providers offering tools to integrate services and create that single experience. We know employers need this capability to help their employees make sense of the complicated HR and benefits administration landscape.”
