The term E-HR refers to the use of web-based technology for human resource service delivery (Johnson, 2011).

This business system will need to do all the tasks that once were done by the HR personnel.

There are two purposes that HR technology serves in an organization. The first is to improve the efficiency of employee data and HR activities collection.

These training programmes will primarily revolve around measurable data tools, including AI-based systems, data management, and virtual reality.
