For HR professionals still working with MS Excel and Word, or worse—with paper—to manage their business functions, this year your goal should be to automate using automated HR solutions! Here are five reasons why:

  • Approvals without the Hassle: With Software as a Service (SaaS) being the predominant deployment method for most HR software, it is becoming much easier to get buy-in from upper management due to low capital investment.

  • Customization: With SaaS technology, most of the functional capabilities can be configured to your organization’s processes, without having to invest a large sum of money. This means you can make the application fit your company’s unique needs.

  • Security and Safety: Web-based technology for a common business application is safer than you think. Employees’ sensitive personal information should no longer be kept on paper files. It is better to protect it in an encrypted system which is much harder to break into than a paper file.

  • Company Success: When evaluating software performance, the intangible benefits are becoming almost as important as the financial gains. HR software can positively impact employee satisfaction, company image, resource efficiency, and data accuracy.

  • Data Control: The most important reason to streamline your processes is to be in control of your data. By managing your data in an automated system, your compliance efforts will be more streamlined and easier to track—keeping you ready for the ever-lurking auditor from various federal and state agencies.

One of my top HR predictions for 2014 is an increase in software automation use and development. If you haven’t already, now is the time to take advantage of technology.
