Businesses don’t get far — or anywhere at all — without the support of their employees. But optimizing and streamlining operations isn’t just about having exceptional people. Top talent also needs to use the right HR tech.
Think about it. Even today, some unlucky employees have to slog through outdated software while HR painfully manages tasks workers could do themselves. With the right tech, employees help expedite tasks and make them more accurate, such as:
- training
- onboarding
- payroll
- time tracking
- and more
Employees already have unmatched control and convenience with the apps they use at home. When the great consumer experience people expect of apps is applied to HR tech, it drives engagement and helps ensure an organization’s long-term success.
How does self-service HR software fuel organizational growth?
For every HR task, there’s a way employee involvement makes it better. Take payroll, for example. Ernst & Young found 1 in 5 of the average company’s payrolls have errors. And a Morning Consult survey commissioned by Paycom revealed 80% of employees who had an issue with their paycheck in the last year had to take corrective action.
This doesn’t have to be business as usual. Employee-guided payroll automatically flags errors, then leads workers to fix those mistakes before submission. Employees gain much-needed peace of mind, and their employers:
- eliminate redundant manual tasks
- free HR to focus on people, not problems
- boost culture and engagement
Self-service functionality doesn’t just transform payroll, either. Easy-to-use software for management tasks helps leaders address employee needs quickly without losing the human connection to their team.
Similarly, self-onboarding tech automates the mundane aspects of the process, so employees can focus on their job — even on their first day. And when they’re ready to take their development to the next level, comprehensive learning management software makes it easy for employees to embark on a training journey at their pace.
