Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why firms are merging HR and IT departments
Traditionally, the human resources department deals with people while the
IT department handles information technologies. In general, HR people are good
at talking and asking questions to people, but IT people usually aren’t. However,
when information technologies further advance with AI and become essential resources
to improve work efficiency, some companies are merging or collaborating these two
once distinct functions. True. New technologies and methodologies are developed
to complement human skills and tasks. When new technologies are introduced, people
need to adapt and evolve to leverage them. So, if HR and IT work together, both
resources can be used more efficiently and productively. And if certain repetitive
tasks by humans are taken over by machines or AI tools, people can work on more
complex or sensitive tasks that require human ingenuity. Indeed, people need to
work more closely with technologies.
