Zucchetti Spain participates in the Human Factor Congress Barcelona 2026, where Carlos Castellanos, Director of the HR Software Division of the company, has moderated a round table on technology and talent management. With its ecosystem of solutions Zucchetti HR, it reinforces its position as a specialized technology provider in comprehensive HR management, connected and supported by artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is expanding the possibilities of HR departments, from process automation to talent management and decision-making. However, the real challenge lies in each organization's ability to integrate this technology into its activity and turn it into real improvements for the management of people.
This has been one of the axes of Zucchetti Spain's participation in the Human Factor Congress Barcelona 2026, where Carlos Castellanos, Director of the HR Software Division of the company, has moderated the round table "From People Management to Human Intelligence: technology in talent management without losing the human component," with prominent HR and talent management leaders from Eurofragance, Fluidra, Meliá Hotels International, and De'Longhi Group.
"The capabilities of artificial intelligence are advancing faster than our ability to incorporate them into work. The challenge is no longer having technology, but knowing how to integrate it into organizations to provide real value to HR professionals and optimize the management of people," says Carlos Castellanos.
This reality is also reflected in the Zucchetti HR 2025 Observatory, which identifies a significant gap between the declared adoption of artificial intelligence and its concrete application in HR processes among the surveyed companies. A scenario that highlights the need to move from individual uses to an effective integration of technology in organizations.
Advanced technology to reinvent people management
With extensive experience in business software and the backing of one of the leading European technology groups, Zucchetti Spain accompanies organizations in this transformation process with Zucchetti HR, its ecosystem of solutions for a comprehensive and connected HR management —payroll, time, talent, travel expenses…—, which incorporates automation, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Among its differential developments stands out the first Payroll AI Operator, capable of executing real processes, performing intelligent validations, and reducing the administrative burden of HR departments.
According to a recent study by Gartner, "79% of HR leaders believe that their function should drive the adoption of technology among employees to promote business growth. But only 8% believe that their managers currently have the necessary skills to effectively use AI."
"Artificial intelligence is also transforming the way we work. In this scenario, HR must lead the change, driving the evolution of roles, skills, and new forms of collaboration between people and technology. The real challenge is to harness the full potential of AI without losing sight of people," says Carlos Castellanos.
Under the message 'We reinvent the management of people', Zucchetti Spain has presented at the congress its technological proposal to advance towards a connected, more efficient, and intelligent HR management.
