Just like the technology we use at home makes our lives more convenient, shouldn’t our tools at work do the same? Even across vastly different industries, easy-to-use self-service software enhances the experience of every employee. And with a truly single HR software, organizations don’t just boost employee engagement and satisfaction, they:
- automate costly, tedious tasks
- eliminate data reentry and errors
- reduce noncompliance risks
- make data accessible without compromising security
- and more
Why is comprehensive HR and payroll software important for today’s workforce?
The widespread use of internet and mobile technology has changed the way we interact, shop, run errands and generally go about our days and nights.
Grocery delivery has existed for decades, but it wasn’t widely adopted until relatively recently. A study by eMarketer predicts U.S. online grocery sales will multiply over 1.5 times by 2028. Tens of millions of Americans became online grocery buyers for the first time. The study predicts this trial behavior will become habit for many shoppers.
As we trust tech more, we grow closer to the data we once only interacted with passively. As a result, a transaction today takes fewer steps to reach the same destination. Even better, having that direct connection to the data makes it easier to get exactly what you want because you did it yourself.
In the workplace, many tasks and processes that employees could complete themselves remain in the hands of employers — and still sometimes in an antiquated, needlessly manual form, such as by paper, text message, email or disjointed software that doesn’t offer seamless integration between employee HR data.
And according to a separate eMarketer study, the need for intuitive, fluid technology is high, as 98% of Generation Z and 98% of millennials use smartphones. Plus, 71% of office workers said they were frustrated with outdated workplace technology in a 2023 survey of 1,000 workers conducted by OnePoll and commissioned by Paycom.
Now that employers face a labor pool with more millennials than members of any other generation, and Gen Z joining the workforce, they have more employees who not only highly value having such technology in their jobs, but expect it — whether doing things for the company as a whole or managing their personal information through tools like self-service payroll.
