By creating person-centric and 'people first' technologies that better understand people, streamline and enhance the way work and transactions are performed, and enable them to connect to each other in powerful ways - Ultimate is helping people and organizations of all kinds meet their individual and organization-wide challenges.

From Intelligent Automation, from both a business and HR perspective, which has emerged as an increased focus area for the CHRO, to better understanding the disconnect between the CEO and the CHRO as to the value of automation, to the segmentation of employees and groups for the purposes of creating different and personalized experiences in the workplace, the research offers plenty for HR leaders to consider and introduce in their organizations.
