Bridging the Tech Gap: Applying Generational Insights to HR Tech Implementation in the NZ Context
26 Jun 2025
Track 1
Following the keynote Bridge the Gap: Building Generational Intelligence™ in Disrupted Workplaces, this session shifts the lens to HR technology implementation—through the practical, often messy, and always human realities faced by HR managers in Aotearoa.
Whether you're rolling out a new HRIMS, replacing legacy systems, or navigating tech changes directed from Australia or further afield, one challenge is constant: your people span generations, with diverse digital skills, preferences, and expectations. Many are based in regional or remote sites. The pace, tone, and tools of change are often set offshore. And too often, what’s meant to help might feel burdensome rather than enabling.
This interactive session will explore how multigenerational insights can help HR leaders:
• Anticipate adoption barriers and motivators across age groups.
• Communicate system changes in a way that builds trust and understanding.
• Design training and support that works for both tech-savvy Gen Zs and digitally cautious Baby Boomers.
• Influence group-level rollouts by offering feedback grounded in your local workforce reality.
• Build real engagement— so new tools are embraced, not just endured.
Grounded in real New Zealand case examples, this session offers practical tools and takeaways to help you become a strategic voice in tech change—whether you're at the head table or holding things together at the satellite site.
(Yes, this presentation is Gen Z friendly 😊😉)
