Organizations today are embracing digital transformation strategies across verticals, including HR, like never before. Against this new backdrop, organizations are continually thinking about how to revive the employee experience thereby reinventing employee productivity and driving operational efficiency.
Human resource software is essential for companies of all sizes, whether they operate locally or globally. On-boarding, storing employee data, managing payrolls, recruiting/ talent acquisition, time and attendance scheduling, and performance management functionalities can help companies manage their workforce efficiently.
A human resource management system (HRMS) integrates all of the core and strategic HR functions into one solution, improves recruiting, offers a self-service portal, automates data entry and administrative processes, streamlines information in a central database, reduces payroll and compliance errors, and facilitates data-driven strategies.
In the new HR world, SaaS HCM has been effectually substituting on premise software, introducing a wide range of HR technologies that go beyond the scope of core functionalities. The new wave of SaaS HR brings forth the fast paced Socially knit HR tools, that go beyond engagement and user experience. They incorporate business intelligence tools that are ready to foresee trends and help the C-suite decision making a notch higher than expected. So, the single point, single function HR solutions do not serve organizations as much as they are expected to, paving way for the modern solutions, to help the companies into evolving at a much earlier cycle and adapt themselves accordingly.
An HCM Solution has a much more flexible platform and has the aptitude to develop and become a multi-purpose and all-inclusive software that can build innovative functionality, according to the size of an organization. These software technologies may become an integral part of a company early on and grow with the organization as it grows. The new and rising trend of SaaS HR has captured a considerable volume of audience in the market, by replacing the huge one-point ERP solutions of the past, compelling them into implementing the newer technology themselves.
The Core HR Troubles
The history has manifested itself in such a way that HR and its related processes always appear to be complicated and could burden the HR heads and consultants under unnecessary pressures, resulting in the decreased productivity and increased time consumption to get tasks done on time. Research has shown that 60% of mid to small sized organizations, either cannot afford to run these daily tasks by hiring different third-party organizations or don’t have enough skilled people to make things happen.
While the bigger more corporate level organizations tend to hire large teams, with over the top budgets to do simpler tasks, both crave for the same level of precision tools for the completion of tasks. From the very beginning when they hire, on-board, engage an employee, to all the way where their salaries are processed, benefits given to the point where their evaluation is done, the processes are lengthy and sometimes never completed on time.
All these are most commonly also not present at one place either, which makes it even more challenging to get it done. Each tool can cost a company a fortune and at the end, they need to communicate with each other to present a unified more single outlook. The technology is archaic and requires extensive training of the professionals involved to get it up and running. With that said, it is never connected to mobile app and if it does, multiple apps need to be run and would not communicate amongst themselves.
