PALM BEACH, Fla., April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Human Capital management market has been steadily growing over the past years and is expected to continue through this decade. Human Capital Management (HCM) is a collection of HR systems, tools, and practices used to recruit, attract, develop, train, retain, and manage employees to achieve business goals. It features human resource functions, compensation, and the main objective of a company. These solutions are deployed on cloud based and mobile technology to run reports, process data, and create a smooth end-user experience. The market growth is expected to be driven by the demand for people and performance management solutions. A report from Fortune Business Insights projected that the global Human Capital Management (HCM) market size, which was valued at USD 28.86 billion in 2023 is projected to grow from USD 31.34 billion in 2024 to USD 63.14 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. The report said: “Cloud computing solutions in HR tools encourage organizations to accelerate employee engagement and experience by offering wider features that enhance performance and talent management functionalities. Many businesses are transitioning from traditional human capital management systems to cloud-based solutions to save on infrastructure and maintenance expenses. According to industry professionals, around 60% of companies are utilizing cloud based solutions for tasks, such as recruitment, workforce management, core HR, and payroll and benefits. Multinational corporations that adopt centralized global payroll systems can decrease labor costs by approximately 50% by streamlining processes, optimizing operations, and implementing automation. This allows HR managers to concentrate on more crucial responsibilities, ultimately boosting overall productivity.” Active companies in the markets this week include ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PIXY), Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), Upwork (NASDAQ: UPWK), Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), Salesforce (NYSE: CRM).
Fortune Business Insights continued: “With robust cloud-based solutions, the HR and management teams can easily access and provide business and personal data about employees. Cloud-based solutions offer new opportunities for companies by automating heavy and complicated tasks, such as performance review, timesheet submission, and payroll management. Additionally, some cloud HR management solutions can be customized by HR professionals and corporate employees without the help of IT specialists. Thus, with cloud computing, HR managers can improve productivity and make data-driven intelligent decisions. Small and medium-sized enterprises segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment due to the increasing need for market players to provide affordable options with positive high value outcomes.”
