Give HR Function a New Lease of life by deploying HR Software

Gone are the errors prone days of calculating payroll on excel sheet, manually generating and distributing pay slips to employees and then spending the next week or so responding to employee queries and recalculating salary due to incorrect deduction or extra payment. Payroll Management system enables easy management of all aspects related to employee’s financial dealing with the company including salary, reimbursements, taxation etc. A well-designed payroll software goes beyond mere calculation of salary, it enables an organization to monitor and track cost and expenses against each employee. Advanced payroll modules also provide for an employee self service application wherein employees can view their pay slips and other details online when needed. The ESS module removes much of the administrative burden associated with payroll management as all information pertaining to their individual finances,with respect to the company can be accessed by employees through their own unique ID and password.

The extensive range of reports and features available is what distinguishes a good payroll system from an average one.

1.Automation of salary calculation based on formulas for tax and allowances
2.Auto generation of pay slips
3.Manage statutory payments
4.Greater control over data
5.Reduces time and effort spent on administering payroll manually
6.Claims management including Local Conveyance, Travel claim, Medical, LTA etc
7.Easy browsing historical salary records for audit purposes

Modern payroll systems are designed to be flexible and adaptable to integrate easily with an organization’s existing HR system or Human Resource Information System making it a single window for all HR information and activity related to employees. The ESS application when combined with the HRIS and payroll system helps to streamline the entire HR process and make it paperless as all approvals and forms are then submitted and approved online rather than on paper.

The greatest benefit of employing an Employee Self Service application is that it makes dissemination of information to geographically dispersed employees easy to administer and manage. Also since the onus of updating his or her information in the system lies with the employee, employee records generally tend to be more relevant and efficiently managed.

The prominent features of a good ESS are

1.Ability to view / edit personal information
2.Submit Tax declaration online
3.View pay slip and tax working online
4.Makes it possible to submit tax returns online
5.Manager access to view team member records
6.Define workflow for employee joining and exit
7.Leave Attendance System
8.Leave Management System through integration of attendance / access card with shift system
9.Asset Management
10.Travel requisition or taxi requisition
11.Book Conference room
12.Mobile / SIM Card or Data card requisition
13.Raise request for ID card/ visiting card

A hallmark of a good HR software is its ability to scale up to add on more features and module based on requirement. In today’s scenario when organizations are looking at automating administrative and repetitive tasks to reduce operational costs and free staff for more value adding activities, it makes sense for organizations to opt for an integrated Human Resource Management system (HRMS) which covers the entire employee life cycle.

Empowering the HR Team with a Good Human Resource Information System

A Human Resource Information System or HRIS essentially refers to a HR software designed with the help of technology to carry out HR activities and processes electronically. It is a single central repository of all data required by the HR department for efficient management of Human Capital. All HR processes and systems including Recruitment Management, Payroll  management, Leave Attendance System, Performance Management System  as well as Employee self service form part of a good Human Resource Management System.

A basic HRIS (Human Resource Information System) comprises of a centralized database as well as a system for database management. Advanced HRIS systems also provide tools and resources for data analytic by organizations.

A hallmark of a good Human Resource Information System is the flexibility of its databases to integrate with a wide range of applications and platform. Advanced HRIS systems also provide owners with the capability to generate customized report as well as undertake complex data analysis for better decision making.

Features of a well designed Human Resource Management System include:

My profile Page which allows employees to enter and update personal and professional information related to self and facilitates easy exchange of information between employees.

Leave Management System customized to meet the specific leave policy of a company allows an efficient online leave approval and tracking process. Employees can view their leave balance as well apply for leaves online. It also allows employees to select the category of leave under which they would like to apply. Since it is workflow based HR software, the leave application will automatically flow to their reporting managers for approving or rejecting. Once approved it flows down both to HR and to the employee to let him know the status on his application.

Performance Management System allows management to set clear goals and expectation as well track and review them periodically to ensure company objectives are being met. They also provide for employees to capture details regarding their performance throughout the year and do a more objective performance discussed based on goals achieved.

Company Update section allows management to share important news, events and updates related to the company at the same time across a geographically dispersed workforce. Employees feel a sense of belonging with the company as they are made aware of what other divisions and businesses are doing and what are the important milestones for the company.

Recruitment Module allows the recruitment or HR team to upload internal job postings on a regular basis to provide employees with an opportunity to apply for jobs or positions within the company that they might be interested in.

Training module helps HR team to manage trainings efficiently and effectively within the organization. Training calendar for a month or a quarter or even a year can be published and employees can be encouraged to apply online for the particular trainings they would like to opt for. Feedback on training can also be collected and reviewed online for enhancing training programs.

Travel Management System provides for employs to submit a travel and advance request online as well as submit expense claims online and track the status of the claims. ESS workflow system enables all such requests to flow to the respective function avoiding the need for any paperwork altogether.

Knowledge Management is a relatively new feature available mostly in advanced Human Resource Information System. It provides for a central repository for all project or work documents and files by all functions. This enables other employees to access and reuse material and collaterals already available rather than creating them afresh every time they are required.

Like the Knowledge Management, the Blog is also a fairly recent addition to the HRIS and is probably available only in advanced versions. It allows for employees to exchange thoughts and ideas on important issues and can be the germinator of many interesting concepts, big reason why it is so popular among technology companies.

Newer features are being added everyday as the HR function seeks to redefine itself to move away from repetitive non value adding activities to play a more strategic and business value adding role. Read more.

Leveraging HR Software to Build a Culture of Trust And Transparency

HR teams across organizations have had to gear up to face new challenges in deploying and managing an increasingly diverse and globally dispersed workforce. The answer to some of these challenges have been through technological interventions such as  Human Resource Management Systems that have helped bridge the communication gap between employers and employees. While Human Resource Information Systems have helped in managing and analyzing employee data for better decision making, challenges in administering employee benefits program remained till Employee Self Service applications came into being.

Why HR Software is needed?

Organizations are increasingly realizing the value of deploying HR software to enable the HR time to be more productive and reduce cost and time spent on routine administrative activity. An integrated Human Resource Management system which combines Leave Attendance System, Leave Management System and Performance Management System with Payroll Management enables organizations to do away with tons of paperwork and establish work flow based systems which can be easily tracked and recorded for future reference as well.

Employee Self Service (ESS) is an application that enables employees to interact directly, through their HR software to view, and in some cases edit or update data, in the system. A tool that is gaining ground very rapidly, Employee Self Service portal empowers an employee to manage a number of self related tasks like leave or reimbursement application, personal information updation and accessing company related information otherwise routed through Human resources or management.   ESS is one HR software that directly impacts employees in a positive manner by giving them access to their information on demand, anytime anywhere without having to follow up with the HR or any other business support teams.

Need for an integrated HR system

A Human Resource Information System or HRIS enables organizations to maintain a secure and central repository for confidential information and processes related to Human resources.  It makes it easy to track and assess employee trends and movements and to determine the future shape of employee initiatives in the organization. A workflow based leave management system enables employees to apply for leaves online as well as keep a track of their leave balance without any outside intervention. It also allows managers to access leave records of team members reporting to them as well as track how many team members have applied for leave simultaneously in a given week or month. Managers can also approve or reject leaves online which then reflect in the system so that the employee can view the status of his application. Likewise managers can also submit their own leave application which then flows to their reporting manager and so on and so forth making the whole process flow seamlessly and effortlessly.

A well designed Human Resource Management System with interconnected modules, has the potential to reduce at least 2/3rds of routine administrative operations from HR function, enabling them to focus time and resources on more strategic value adding propositions and initiatives. It also helps to build a culture where employees are self driven with more accountability as all data pertaining to themselves and their teams are available to them online. Read more.
