5.Challenges faced by Companies while integrating technology in HRM:

 The literature review and further data analysis reveals that use of technology in HRM
comes with few challenges for the companies. These challenges are further described

as below:

 Technology require employees to acquire new skills that may be different from what
they are used to. HRM addresses this by organizing training and development

programs to ensure employees can effectively use the new technologies.

 Employees might hesitate to adopt these new technologies due to various reasons such
as fear of losing their jobs or simply being unfamiliar with the technology. To

overcome this resistance, HRM implements strategies to manage change and fosters a
culture of innovation within the organization.

 Increased use of technology increases the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks.

HRM prioritizes data security measures to protect sensitive employee information and

operations and maximize the benefits of the new technologies.

 Implementing new technologies often comes with significant financial investment,
including expenses for software, hardware, training, and maintenance. HRM carefully

assesses the costs and benefits to justify investments and ensure a positive return on

investment.
