After people team hiring, the #1 topic I’m asked about is people tech systems. 
 
People leaders are inundated with advertisements and cold call emails for the latest and greatest people technology. To demystify people systems for your organization today and as you scale, I’ve created an all-in-one guide to help you.
 
Here's what's included in the third edition, updated May 2024.
 
In this guide, you will:
Get a roadmap for your people system needs through different stages of company growth
Gain a pre-vetted list of 150+ tools, broken down by category
(e.g. recruiting optimization, PEO/HRIS, performance and engagement, total rewards, people analytics, learning and development, and distributed workforce management)
Learn how to evaluate and select the right vendor for your needs 
Position your tech systems proposal for executive buy-in and approval
Plan your implementation
 
What’s included:
People Tech Systems Guide 
System recommendations
Systems roadmap that grows with you from <50 to 1,000+ employees
Budget considerations
Systems best practices
FAQs
Getting Started, including sample implementation timelines
Systems Evaluation Template (spreadsheet template)
Strategy Executive Summary (presentation template)
 
As you can see, you're not just getting one guide; you're getting a complete toolkit to help you build your roadmap, evaluate vendors, get internal buy-in, and implement people technology in your company.
 
The technology systems you use will evolve over time as your company grows and matures. You can not “set it and forget it” when it comes to your people tools. Use my guide to build your people systems roadmap, implement systems efficiently and effectively, and avoid common mistakes.
