How are outdated HR systems holding your business back?

As a HR professional, you know delivering a first-class employee experience is the key to unlocking the highest levels of engagement and performance within your organisation.

However, the fast-paced nature of modern work means that getting there is only possible when you’ve got time to focus on strategy and your culture is underpinned by the right digital framework. Powerful HR systems that are easy to implement and scale now sit at the heart of every successful people management strategy, and for good reason. Your choice of software determines how easy it is to manage HR, payroll, hiring and L&D, and whether or not you can do it from a single dashboard. Your system should also provide managers and staff with genuine autonomy and quick access to the data insights they need to track and improve employee engagement across their entire workforce.

Great businesses don’t just settle for ‘okay’ or turn a blind eye to recurring problems that keep depleting HR’s time and resources. Here are the issues with poor systems we hear time and time again...

Excessive admin and manual processes

Repetitive tasks such as managing annual leave, absence, onboarding and induction training can be a huge drain for HR teams. This prevents departments from achieving their strategic goals and spending more time on building a workplace culture that attracts and retains top talent.

Poor integration between systems

So many businesses rely on old legacy systems that don’t connect well with one another. This makes building a detailed overview of your workforce very difficult, let alone being able to spot important crossover trends and ongoing patterns in behavior, wellbeing and performance.

Weak data protection measures

HR is responsible for managing a lot of confidential employee and financial data. Any department that still stores important records in shared drives, Excel spreadsheets, filing cabinets or other outdated systems with poor encryption measures are putting their organisation at severe risk should that information fall into the wrong hands.

Lack of people analytics and insights

Most organisations are sitting on a gold mine of people data; though they struggle to organise and convert raw data into valuable insights that inform business decisions. Without this, HR will struggle to optimise crucial processes or pinpoint the aspects of their workforce management that require the most attention.
