Well, for the past couple of decades that I have been in the HR technology industry, I have been asking myself a similar question: Why can't my HR software be like a car?

The impact of automation on employment is inevitable. Long gone are the days when you could get a position at a company, do the exact same job for 30 years and retire. Like anything, times change. And with the pace of technology and innovation, more and more positions are being automated. This means companies can now do more with less people. Think back to Henry Ford’s moving assembly line where workers continuously executed simple, repetitive tasks.

These employees struggle to balance the responsibilities of work and caregiving, often dealing with the unexpected and recurring care obligations that require mental, physical, and financial resources to address them.
