One of the most important elements of a comprehensive HR and Payroll software platform are the human resource solutions it provides. Today, we continue to see a fundamental shift from a customer-first business mentality to an employee-first focus. In fact, prioritizing employees first is increasingly becoming a best practice, especially for health and human services organizations where a tight labor market and limited budgeting create unique challenges in attracting and retaining top talent.

In addition to these workforce management challenges, health and human services organizations operate very differently than most global corporations and Fortune 500s. Increasingly, these organizations are finding that a unified HR and Payroll system can help them address their challenges head-on and enable them to focus more on the human element of their business.

Human Resources Management

A comprehensive human resources management system or human capital management platform will include a range of features and functionality. These may include time and attendance tracking, payroll processing, benefits administration, and workforce analytics elements. All of these functions are important for your organization to be able to operate seamlessly. However, the elements that are most employee-centric are essential parts of your human resource solutions – namely recruiting and onboarding (the initial stage) and training and development (ongoing engagement and retention).

Recruiting & Onboarding

The employee experience begins long before the employee has ever been hired. From the initial job posting to the interview process, the recruiting stage begins to shape the candidate’s perception of the organization from the very beginning. Having recruiting management functionality or an applicant tracking system in place can help ensure you’re providing a consistent and streamlined experience for all candidates.

Ideally, your recruiting management system will be a component of your unified HR and Payroll platform, allowing information to flow seamlessly into the employee file once a candidate is selected and hired. This is essential not just for the candidate experience, but for the next stage of the employee lifecycle: onboarding.

Onboarding is a critical period in the employee lifecycle. This is the time when the employee is most engaged and excited to be at your organization. How you handle the onboarding process can either maintain the momentum that already exists or stop it in its tracks.

A unified human resource solution can provide the solution you need to maintain high levels of engagement throughout the onboarding process. First, when recruiting and onboarding are unified within the same platform, candidate information can flow seamlessly into the new employee file, eliminating redundant data entry. Further, a unified platform allows for onboarding paperwork to be streamlined and minimized, helping to keep the new hire’s focus on the company, culture, and people aspects instead.

Training & Development

Beyond the onboarding stage, maintaining engagement and retaining your employee becomes an ongoing focus. Your unified human resource solution can continue to aid you through these initiatives through features like training, development, and performance management.

Providing training is a big part of the onboarding process, but it continues to be important for any new process that’s introduced as well as any new responsibilities the employee starts to take on. Your HR solution can provide a place to provide training and track progress, which ties directly into the employee electronic file as well. Having all of this information in one place makes it easier to view employee progress and track development.

Having all of this information stored in one place and serving as a single source of truth has numerous advantages, including its value for performance management. A unified system will enable you to be more proactive, automating certain aspects of workforce management, like credential management. For example, you can set up reminders when credentials are about to expire or need to be renewed, ensuring compliance (and peace of mind) for you and your organization.

This same system can be set up to provide reminders for regular check-ins and performance appraisals. When work gets busy, it can be easy to forget to check in regularly with employees or put off meetings. However, neglecting this human element of workforce management can erode away at engagement levels and harm retention rates. Your unified system helps keep everything on track so that your employees are able to continue to develop professionally and grow within your organization.
