Signal 93% of IT leaders believe HR-IT integration would raise productivity and engagement

Summary

A Nexthink report cited by Deloitte found that 93% of IT leaders think integrating HR and IT could raise productivity, satisfaction and engagement. Deloitte highlights HR and IT as a pairing many organizations are considering, because technology and data already cut across functional lines more than organizational charts do. As talent practices are reshaped by AI and data flows in from many functions, aligning these two areas can simplify employee support. Examples in the report include Moderna, which combined HR and IT under a single executive, and Workleap, which merged HR and IT expertise to redesign onboarding and daily support for remote and hybrid staff. The finding suggests function boundaries may increasingly follow data and technology paths.
