How to Build Your HR Tech Stack HR Unplugged

Modern tech tools can make managing HR more efficient and solve common pain points for HR teams. But how do you decide what tech you really need?
Each HR team has different needs and priorities, but building an efficient tech stack is a game-changer for modern HR teams. With the right tools, you can save time and energy, leaving your team free to focus on the things you’re best at – building and maintaining relationships for the good of the wider business.
If you’re new to building a tech stack, you might be wondering where to start. Or, if you already have one in place but it’s not working as well as you’d hope, how to streamline things.
In this episode, BambooHR’s Head of HR, Anita Grantham sits down with Lauren Nathanson, VP of People Operations at Axios, to talk about what really needs to be in your tech stack. We discuss how you can get started, which tool types to prioritize, how to make decisions based on company goals and pain points, and how to refine an existing tech stack.
