HR TECH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME (HRTTP)

Programme Objective

The HR Tech Transformation Programme (HRTTP) aims to support enterprises in implementing HR technology through HR process re-engineering, redesigning of impacted HR job(s) and managing HR job transitions arising from the HR technology adoption.

With strengthened processes and job redesign, HR professionals could spend more time on strategic HR to meet the organisation’s business objectives. HR technology could also enable a positive employee experience through online delivery of HR services at their fingertips.

HRTTP Support for Enterprises

Through the HRTTP, enterprises can focus on three priorities:

Increase job value and attractiveness through job enrichment or enlargement;
Review work processes to streamline administrative or transactional tasks and improve productivity; and
Implement HR technology solution.

There are four phases in the HRTTP. Upon receiving project approval (Phase A), enterprises will complete Phase B and C with support from Job Redesign consultants for the various job redesign services and HR technology implementation. At Phase D, enterprises will submit project report that is required for funding claims.

Enterprises will be supported through following milestones and services:
