Spilling the Tea on HR Tech - The 29th Annual HR Systems Survey is open and here is why your organization's data belongs in it.

from The HR Huddle · host WRKdefined Podcast Network

In this episode of Spilling the Tea on HR Tech, Cliff Stevenson and Tammy Smith, Sapient’s senior manager of data science, mark the public launch of the 29th Annual HR Systems Survey, the most expansive and longest-running survey of its kind. Almost 10,000 professionals representing 4,670 organizations worldwide participated in last year’s survey.  In response to participant feedback, this year’s survey includes two entirely new sections covering finance systems and compliance and risk management.  Cliff and Tammy walk through how the survey works, why organizational-level data matters, and what participants receive when they submit their responses. Key points covered include: ↪️ The survey now includes dedicated sections covering solutions for core finance, travel and expense, and financial planning.  Finance professionals, C-suite leaders, and business managers are invited to complete this new section.   ↪️ The survey platform saves responses so participants can complete the survey in multiple sessions if needed.  Sapient encourages distribution of the survey across departments and subject matter experts.    ↪️ Participants will receive an unabridged copy of the survey results, expected to be published in October 2026. As an additional bonus, after completing the survey, participants have the option to receive a benchmark report based on their answers and last year’s survey data for either their industry or a geographic region. IHRM also awards 10 continuing education credits to those completing the survey.   ↪️Over the last 29 years, the data set has grown exponentially.  For instance, in 2021participants represented 2,177 unique organizations compared to 4,670 in 2025. The annual research report has also expanded, growing from 150 pages to 380 pages over that same period. The 29th Annual HR Systems Survey is now open through June 24th.
