Chika Uwazie: How HR Technology Can Streamline Your Business

HR systems today have the following solutions to help streamline most if not all HR processes;

• Payroll
• Staff Records
• Recruiting
• Employee Requests and Goals
• Time & Attendance
• Leave Management and more

So why is HR Technology such a big deal? Here are some key points;

Reduced Paperwork
I think this is my favourite point because I have a phobia for huge piles of paperwork (I am not kidding, it scares me!). Now imagine how HR managers feel when they have to deal with payroll, time & attendance and other HR processes manually (so much paperwork). HR Technology has made it possible for all employee information to be stored digitally, in one central location. This reduces paperwork significantly and enables easy access to any information required at any time or place.

Data Security
Storing all your employee information in files and cabinets won’t guarantee security. All that data is prone to theft, unauthorized access and accidents such as flood or fire. HR systems have secure servers and auto back-up features that ensures security, privacy and risk management. In other words, HR Technology helps you sleep well at night.

Improved Employee Engagement
Employee engagement is the emotional commitment an employee makes to the employers organization. It is important for business owners to ensure that their employees are engaged because engaged employees tend to have less absent days and higher productivity. That is definitely a recipe for business success!

HR Technology drives employee engagement by improving communication between employees and managers with various collaborative tools and self service features.

Other points include:

• Reduced Business Cost
• Streamlined Recruiting Process
• Improved Company Culture

HR Technology is an innovation has its perks and should really be considered by business owners looking to simplify their HR processes. Just like they say “Innovation is the key to business success”.
