Every year brings its own set of challenges for HR leaders, but 2025 feels different—and the pivotal moment HR and HR tech professionals find themselves in will be in the spotlight at next week’s HR Tech Conference, kicking off Sept. 16 in Las Vegas.
Why this is a critical moment for the HR tech space
We’re navigating a labor market that is constantly in flux; new workforce expectations around flexibility, pay equity and wellbeing; and a pace of technological innovation that is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 20-plus years in this field. The responsibilities placed on HR leaders today are broader than ever: You are expected to support business growth, champion culture, manage costs and lead through disruption—often simultaneously.
At the same time, the pressure to deliver measurable business results from HR programs has never been higher. HR must manage all of the organization’s people processes—and flawlessly—while connecting those processes to outcomes like productivity, profitability and employee engagement. That’s why this moment is so critical. And that’s also why the HR Tech conference is so timely. HR Tech is where HR leaders can cut through the noise and focus on the solutions and strategies that matter most.
The transformation
