Online HR Software

HR software is a system that helps manage employee information, automate manual tasks, and track certifications and licenses in one central location. 

To be most effective, a best-in-class human capital management (HCM) platform should include the following components:

• Employee recordkeeping
• Automated workflows
• Paperless document management
• Employee self-service
• Performance management
• Reporting & analytics

The time required to get a system set up depends on several factors: the components you need, the complexity of your business and industry, whether you’re starting from scratch or need to transfer existing data to a new system are some considerations. Implementation can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. However, here are three things a good HR software partner can do to speed things up:

1. Have a fully connected implementation process with an assigned implementation team so they (and you) don’t waste time entering repetitive information.
2. Handle data transfer or entry and configuration for you.
3. Provide in-depth training and live support.

• Simplify & Integrate HR Processes – Managing the complex functions of HR requires advanced technology to simplify everyday tasks and consolidate data so it can be used to help with long-term planning. This saves time and money.
• Provide Better Talent Management – Better understand metrics like cost per hire, revenue per employee and your absentee rate when you have unified data.
• Provide Analytics for Insight – Turn your people data into actionable insights that improve decision making around attracting talent and reducing turnover. Real-time data insights will help you answer important questions, such as “Who is at risk for resigning?”.

Whether it’s in the areas of recruiting, hiring, payroll or people management, compliance is a vital element of any company’s ongoing success. Without a solid focus on compliance, your business could be at risk of being penalized with fines and lawsuits. From accurate timekeeping and payroll and tax updates to consistent recordkeeping and detailed reports, HR technology should be a top priority to help you confidently manage compliance.
