The Human Resources (HR) area is undergoing an unprecedented transformation driven by the rise of technology and the need to adapt to post-pandemic changes. The third edition of the study “The HR Scenario in Brazil,” conducted in 2023 by ABRH Brasil in partnership with Umanni, provided current data on HR in the country and emerging trends.
Check out the study’s main findings and understand the impacts of HR automation, the processes that should be automated, the benefits for the company, and the urgent need to invest in this strategic sector.
HR Landscape in Brazil
The study surveyed 898 HR professionals, analyzing the department’s current situation and the transformations that occurred after the pandemic. Among the main highlights, the identity and structure of HR were addressed, as well as the increasing adoption of technologies and automation. According to the collected data, processes such as Payroll (68.7%) and Recruitment and Selection (53.7%) remain the most automated, followed by Performance Evaluation (40.7%).
Eliane Aere, CEO of Umanni, highlights the strategic importance of HR automation, stating that “the absence of automation can lead to increased costs in the area and reduced productivity.” Furthermore, she emphasizes that automation is crucial for optimizing HR management and deliverables, enabling the department to expand its participation in strategic issues and strengthen its role within the organization.
