There is no such thing as the perfect HR Software. Organisations differ in size, complexity, workforce and requirements. What is needed, therefore, is not as many tools as possible, but an HR landscape that suits your company and simplifies day-to-day HR work.
Modern HR technology should effectively support people and processes. A good HR landscape reduces manual work, links information and streamlines HR processes. This frees up HR’s time for tasks where it can make a greater impact. Technology is not an end in itself. It must fit the organisation’s processes and objectives.
Augmented HR Augmented HR emerges where technology enhances people’s capabilities. This does not necessarily require the largest or most comprehensive system landscape. What is needed is a solution that suits the organisation, the workforce and the actual requirements.
From individual tools to an HR landscape
Recruitment, personnel administration, Payroll, Time Management, talent management, Learning management and HR Services are becoming increasingly intertwined. If systems do not work together seamlessly, things become cumbersome. Data has to be entered multiple times or transferred manually between applications. Employees have to switch between different applications. HR teams spend time on manual data transfers and checks.
The key question is therefore no longer which individual tool is needed. What matters is which combination best supports the processes, the workforce and the objectives.
Not every company needs the same suite
International companies often have to manage complex organisational structures and cross-border processes. Companies with large numbers of frontline staff require solutions for shift planning, working hours and easy access to HR. SMEs usually look for a solution that digitises core processes without creating unnecessary complexity. There is therefore no single suite that is automatically the best choice for every organisation.
That’s why the search for the right solution starts with your organisation, not with the tool itself. Together, we’ll look at which processes, people and objectives your HR landscape needs to support.
SAP SuccessFactors for complex HR organisations
SAP SuccessFactors integrates key HR processes on a cloud-based platform. Depending on your needs, Core HR, Recruitment, Learning, Talent and Performance can be integrated into a single system landscape. For larger or internationally operating organisations, the platform can thus form the core of the HR landscape.
However, the specific implementation is also crucial here. Not every module needs to be introduced at the same time. The solution should be guided by the prioritised processes and the organisation’s development.
UKG for Workforce Management and HR Services
Not every workforce works at a desk. Organisations with shift work, fluctuating staffing requirements or large numbers of frontline staff place particular demands on planning, Time Management and communication.
UKG Pro Workforce Management addresses these requirements. Working hours, shift planning, absences and staffing requirements can all be managed within a workforce management solution.
UKG HR Service Delivery focuses on collaboration between employees and HR. HR teams can process enquiries, documents and HR cases in a structured manner and make them available via a shared portal.
In this way, the two solutions address two different but closely related questions: How do you organise your workforce? And how do you make HR Services easily accessible?
Personio and SwissSalary 365 for SMEs
SME's generally handle the same HR tasks as larger companies. However, they often have fewer internal resources available for this. A simple, easily accessible solution is particularly important here.
Personio brings together key HR processes on a cloud platform. To meet Swiss Payroll requirements, the HR landscape can be supplemented with SwissSalary 365 . Depending on your needs, further solutions and Services can be integrated. This creates a streamlined HR landscape for SMEs that combines key HR processes with Swiss Payroll.
HR Campus Suite combines the right solutions
Not every organisation can find all the functions it needs in a single Software package. That is why we combine solutions where they work together effectively, both functionally and technically. This is precisely where the ‘ HR Campus Suite ’ comes in: it combines different building blocks to create an HR landscape that suits your organisation and your requirements.
We support you from analysis through to implementation and work with you to further develop your HR landscape. Our aim is to provide a solution that simplifies your day-to-day work and aligns with your objectives.
Five questions to ask before choosing a system
Before you decide on HR technology, you should answer five questions:
- Which processes do you want to improve?
- What are your workforce’s requirements?
- What systems and data sources are already in place?
- How complex is your organisation?
- In what direction do you want your HR to develop over the next few years?
Only once these questions have been clarified can we assess which solution or combination is actually suitable. Only then can we assess which solution or combination really fits. In this way, Technology becomes a support rather than creating additional complexity.
