With employees losing between one to five hours of productivity per week dealing with IT issues, organizations need to embrace data-driven insights, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning for a more holistic approach to manage the employee lifecycle. An intuitive and efficient HR system is an employee’s front door to the entity and subtle reminder that the employee is in the right place.
