HR Outsourcing: The Secret Weapon For Today’s Business

More than ever, today’s businesses are running lean and seeking ways to mitigate their risk while increasing efficiency. In a recent survey conducted by SHRM, they identified the most common reasons why companies choose to outsource their HR:

  • Save Money – 26%
  • Focus on Business – 23%
  • Improve Compliance – 30%
  • Lack of In-house Expertise – 20%

Human resources is more than hiring and firing. Much more. With new laws being passed more and more often, compliance, concrete HR systems, and training are key components businesses of every size need. Noncompliance and lack of systems cost businesses 10’s of thousands of dollars every day.

Employee Self-Service: Why Employees Care

In the 20th century, there was a clearer delineation between work and life: there was what you did to earn income, and there was everything else. But with the advent of mobile technology — which allows employees to be  “on” anytime, anywhere — work is no longer confined to the office.

While this mobility offers great advantages, it also allows work to infiltrate employees’ lives. It’s a challenge for employers, large and small!

Today, life is pushing back! The enjoyment of life is beginning to take back its rightful place in the lives of employees. Today’s employees put increased focus on happiness at work—they change jobs more often, their careers take unexpected twists and turns, and personal satisfaction can be as important as the numbers on their paycheck.

Employers are recognizing these changing priorities, by investing in employee engagement, culture, and team development. Technology is the key.

Using Technology to Put Your Employees First

This employee-first focus is shaping everything from office floor plans to vacation policies and management styles, making the workplace a more dynamic and expressive place.

With so much change in the workplace, employees are looking for more stability, protection, and a safeguard against disruption. If they can find it in their employer, they’ll show their appreciation through loyalty.

Between work and life, employees want harmony—not just balance. With this new blended experience, they expect their employers to keep up with current trends and proactively provide solutions for their changing  needs. Specifically, employees are seeking a sense of financial and emotional wellbeing.

Today’s employee experience needs to be more complete.

Here are 5 ways to meet employees where they are:

  1. Offering a breadth of employee benefit options helps to alleviate the anxiety that comes with the integration of work-life and home-life.
  1. When employers deliver digital and tailored HR solutions, they help an increasingly diverse workforce find the assurance and security it’s looking for.
  1. When employees have access to the right information on their terms,  it ensures they can get the info they need to meet their lifestyle objectives.
  1. By providing clearer information about workplace policies and procedures, employers can empower employees and minimize areas of exposure.
  1. Lastly, when communication is simplified, employees are able to discover the immense value of their workplace and benefits.

This appreciation results in engagement, loyalty, and commitment to the company.

Companies that embrace technology to help employees bridge the gap between “old school”  and full-service digital employee engagement will thrive in a changing business world.

CorpStrat’s 21st Century HR Solution helps companies change the game and change the ways employees engage.

 

HR Technology – Looking To The Future

Working with HR technology has never been more exciting. The HR landscape is evolving, as is the technology that supports it. It is empowering to provide businesses with the tools that can help manage the people side of their organization. Technological innovations have created the opportunity for HR departments to generate a far greater impact than ever before. HR technology trends in 2017 are creating unparalleled tools for achieving stronger cohesion and communication. In addition, they will undoubtedly attract millennial workers, while also maintaining familiarity with the older generation.

The advent of computers and the Internet has had a tremendous impact on the world, so it is no surprise that many business owners are embracing HR technology to benefit all facets of their businesses.

HR automation technology eliminates paperwork, manages compliance, onboards new hires, tracks vacation hours, tracks PTO, Applicant tracking, document signing, annual reviews, terminations, benefits communication, documentation management, and list goes on.

Every Company can Benefit from a Solid HR Technology Platform

It’s critical for even the smallest companies to make sense of all their data so they may thrive in a competitive market. Prior to the internet, HR recruiters had to rely on print publications to post jobs and find qualified candidates. Technology has revolutionized and globalized the way in which we find these qualified candidates.

In terms of training, there couldn’t be a more efficient manner to bring staff members up to speed. The ability for large numbers of employees to gain quick access to company information and training programs from remote locations has enormous benefits.

Electronic imaging has made it feasible for companies to retrieve and store files in electronic format. HR technology makes it easy to simply print any necessary forms that an employee may need from a central digital library.

Increased performance management is yet another byproduct of technological improvement. With the use of metrics, companies can ensure that employees are meeting performance standards; based on these metrics, employers can either implement additional training, or transition the employee out of their position.

With all of these developments, business leaders would be wise to understand these technology trends that will shape the year ahead, and far beyond. As a result, companies are vastly improving their strategic recruiting, performance management, employee development, social networking, and internal employee communications – all vital business issues.

This is a very compelling time to be in business, especially with all of the technological options available to business owners – and they will continue to get more and more innovative!

“In most markets, the best employees have already been hired.”

Is this how you begin to feel, any time you need to fill a vacancy at your organization?

When it is time to hire, you can often run into a double problem: not only is it hard to find qualified employees, it is a challenge to decide what set of employee qualifications will help your organization grow and succeed.

With a fully integrated employee data system, hiring managers are going to have even more tools to manage both of these problems.
