“Consumer apps have completely altered human behaviour – just think how text messaging, Uber and Spotify have changed our attitudes to being prompt for meetings, to using public transport and to dwelling on a musical artists carefully constructed album. There’s still a huge way to go with HR apps and human behaviour at work, and this is the area that interests me the most.”

What is the true potential of HR and how can technology help us to achieve it?

In this installment of our HRD Tech Founders Q&A series, Roly Walter, Founder, Appraisd, makes the case for letting your employees take control of their performance development, and reveals how doing so can transform the employee experience and provide crucial insights for HR and the wider business.
