Definition:
Human Resources technology (aka, HR tech or HR tech stack) represents an organization's totality of technological solutions that HR uses to achieve its strategic goals, fulfill its various roles, and carry out its tasks in easier, better, and more efficient ways. Non-HR stakeholders (e.g., employees and contract labor) may also use portions of the HR technology stack to meet various needs, from self-service applications to learning and development (L&D).
Components of the HR technology stack may include modules in a larger suite and/or point solutions that are stand-alone or integrated with other HR technologies. HR technology can also be integrated with other business applications or platforms that are not HR-focused, such as business-process modules in an enterprise resource planning system (ERP).
