In the U.S., human resources professionals spend almost 14 percent of their time maintaining employee records. By automating business processes related to HR, talent management, hiring, time and attendance tracking, payroll, mileage tracking, expense filing and processing, and scheduling, companies can save money and experience an increase in productivity and efficiency.
How HCM is Changing HR and People Management
While digital transformation is a high priority for many organizations, the majority of companies still perform some HR processes manually. By implementing human capital management (HCM) solutions, companies can automate and streamline those processes.
HCM software makes people management easier by automating compliance, benefits, incident and discipline tracking, asset management, onboarding, and more. As a result, it frees up the HR department to be more strategic and people-focused rather than paperwork-focused.
5 Big HCM Software Benefits
Companies lose an estimated 20 to 30 percent in revenue annually due to inefficiencies. You might find that your organization’s business processes become more efficient when HCM software is implemented. For example, in many cases, HCM software:
- Increases onboarding productivity by 30-60 percent.
- Reduces annual employee turnover by 9 percent.
- “…helps you attract the best people and allows you train them on what’s needed in real-time,” according to D!gitalist Magazine.
- Automates employee benefits, eliminating human error and promoting compliance.
- Reduces payroll processing costs by up to 80 percent and improves paycheck accuracy.
Addressing the value of HCM software, as 5 Core Functions that Benefit from Automation outlined, “These applications help organizations engage in more strategic planning such as choosing training options which improve workers’ skills and talents. It also enables HR departments to identify any gaps in the skills of their current workforce and helps guide future recruitment.”
