Strada and ISG Report Highlights AI Adoption Surge in HR Transformations

AI Adoption in HR: The Strada and ISG Report Summary



A recent report by Strada in collaboration with ISG has unveiled remarkable insights into the transformation of Human Resource Management (HRM). With a significant shift towards digitalization, this report reveals how organizations are increasingly relying on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision-making to enhance their HR practices.

The findings underscore a staggering 500% surge in the use of AI and machine learning within HR operations among businesses that have adopted HR platforms. This rise also correlates with a 44% increase in data-informed decision-making processes, highlighting how digital transformation reshapes HR functions across various sectors.

The study, which surveyed 190 companies globally, particularly those utilizing Workday HCM, showcases that 91% of participants reported a successful implementation of these technologies. This contrasts sharply with typical industry benchmarks where around half of similar projects fail to meet expectations.

Key Improvements from HR Transformations


Transformations in HR have yielded distinct performance improvements, including:
  • - 500% increase in the integration of AI and machine learning operations.
  • - 66% rise in system integration for streamlined processes.
  • - A 55% boost in process automation.
  • - 49% reduction in the complexity of HR processes.
  • - A 44% increment in decisions stemming from data analytics.

Interestingly, the report emphasizes the significance of establishing robust foundations before executing tech upgrades. Organizations achieving substantial improvements often prioritized simplifying their processes and adopting best practices. Initially, only 12% of firms considered their HR processes user-friendly; after technology adoption, that figure leaped to 45%—a 275% increase. Furthermore, none of the organizations rated their processes as very complex post-deployment, reflecting a substantial shift in operational ease.

Sean Campbell, a strategic advisor at Strada, asserted, "Success begins with solid foundations that drive agility and growth. An adaptable platform underpinned by best practices can position companies to leverage cutting-edge innovations like AI and machine learning effectively."

However, the widespread application of AI in HR is still uneven. The report notes that 68% of organizations admit to utilizing AI and machine learning sporadically, which diminishes the potential returns on their investments due to several enduring challenges, such as data security concerns and the necessity for deeper internal expertise.

Positive trends are apparent, with 90% of organizations actively working to enhance their digital skills, particularly in emerging areas like AI and machine learning. While only 4% reported no expertise in this domain, a notable 34% classified their capacities as still developing, emphasizing the ongoing need for training and continuous learning.

Gaurang Pagdi, a principal analyst at ISG, commented, "Transforming HR is not just about adopting new technology; it's about empowering HR to fuel business growth, foster engagement, and unlock the full potential of employees."

A New Era for HR Professionals


The ongoing transformation presents HR professionals with an invaluable opportunity to redefine their roles, boost their impact, and initiate strategic changes within their organizations. As technology continuously evolves, those who embrace data, automation, and lifelong learning will be best equipped to lead the charge into the future of work.
