They wear countless hats and are passionate about growing their business. From product development to marketing, finance and human resources (HR), they keep the cogs turning and are at the forefront of everything. But, as their business grows and they take on new employees, they\u2019re often faced with hours of mindless, time-consuming and mundane hiring and HR admin.\n\nBut, now \u2013 there\u2019s an easier way. And whether you\u2019re the business owner, human resources manager, or employee, it will help you and your business in every way, shape and form. Ready for it?\n\n<strong>It\u2019s called an HRIS (Human Resources Information System).\u00a0<\/strong>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/taking-hr-digital\/\">Digital HR<\/a> is here, and its capabilities just keep getting stronger. With a long list of benefits; from giving you back some much-needed time by <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/11-reasons-to-switch-to-saas-hr\/\">streamlining operations<\/a> to helping you <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/big-shifts-in-hr-tech\/\">manage staff from anywhere<\/a> and, most importantly, saving your business a whole heap of money \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/hr-trends\/\">digitised human resources<\/a> can make managing your workforce a little more joyful.\n\nIn this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through everything you need to know about getting started with an HRIS (also known as a human resource management system or HR platform) and explore all of the possibilities that can help take your business to the next level.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-an-hris-human-resource-information-system\">What is an HRIS (Human Resource Information System)?<\/h2>\nHRIS stands for Human Resource Information System. An HRIS is a system that streamlines all of traditional HR\u2019s clunky and paper-based processes. Cloud-based and secure, an HRIS is a paperless way to manage every aspect of HR and people management, from recruitment and onboarding right through to offboarding. It\u2019s a purpose-built solution designed to manage workforces online, no matter where they\u2019re located in the world.\n<h2 id=\"key-points\">Key points:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">HRIS streamlines recruitment, saves time and money, and enhances employee performance, engagement, and benefits.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">An ideal HRIS should securely store data, integrate with payroll systems, offer paperless onboarding, provide performance management tools, and facilitate employee recognition.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Before buying an HRIS, check for user-friendliness, cost, ease of implementation, options for automation, data security, and scalability.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Prioritise suitability, user testing, employee feedback, and external references when selecting an HRIS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"why-would-you-need-an-hris\">Why would you need an HRIS?<\/h2>\nAn HRIS can help you automate and streamline your HR function, giving you time back in your day to focus on what matters most \u2013 like growing your business.

Today, there are many different types of HR software available to assist with different people management functions.\n\nOther examples include <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/recruitment-software\/\">recruiting software<\/a>, employment benefits software, job boards, reward and recognition software, employee engagement tools, learning and development, employee time and attendance systems and more!\n\nWhile different HR software supports different functions, complete solutions like <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/hr-software\/\">91爆料 HR software<\/a> can support every aspect of your employee journey and experience.\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-choosing-an-hris\">What are the benefits of choosing an HRIS?<\/h2>\nUsing an HRIS entails a long list of benefits for both you as employers and your employees. From streamlining your entire employee journey, right through to improving productivity \u2013 it\u2019s one thing you can use to help your team perform at the top of their game.\n<h3 id=\"1-streamline-your-recruitment-and-hiring-process\">1. Streamline your recruitment and hiring process<\/h3>\nFor HR managers and business owners, recruitment is one of the most difficult tasks that sit on the to-do list. A long and often frustrating process, it\u2019s hard enough to find the best person for a role without the piles of admin that come along with it.\n\nWith an HRIS, there\u2019s a better way to recruit. It\u2019s a way to move faster through the talent management process and keep everyone involved in alignment, including your HR team and hiring managers.\n\nIntroducing <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/applicant-tracking-system\/\">applicant tracking systems (ATS)<\/a>.\n\nFrom attracting new candidates to putting your open roles in front of the right people, an applicant tracking system can help you streamline your recruitment process.

Save time and money<\/h3>\nWith an HRIS, you can do more in less time. <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/onboarding-software\/#paperless\">Paperless onboarding<\/a>, collaboration and transparency will help any business thrive. But, it\u2019s not just this. Gain actionable business information and implement strategic initiatives with your human resources insights.\n\nSave time on the administrative burden that comes with workforce management, enjoy the benefits of employee self-service and empower your team to take control of their own information and benefits \u2013 all while saving money.\n<h3 id=\"3-get-the-best-out-of-your-employees\">3. Get the best out of your employees<\/h3>\nWhen it comes to managing your HR function, you should have one thing in front of mind \u2013 your people. The same goes for an HRIS. Although it\u2019s digital, it can help you attract, hire and retain top talent from around the world. Remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/choosing-the-right-hr-software\/\">choosing the right HR software<\/a> can help you get the best out of your team including tools for <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/performance-management-history\/\">performance management<\/a>, career development, employee engagement and benefits management.\n<h2 id=\"your-must-have-criteria-for-choosing-an-hris-system\">Your must-have criteria for choosing an HRIS system<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"1-payroll-integration\">1. Payroll integration<\/h3>\nIntegrating your HR and payroll systems is one of the most powerful things you can do to increase your business\u2019s efficiency. When you go back to basics and think about your essential HR functions, you realise that your HR system (or paper files) have a tonne of employee information, and your payroll solution houses another set of data.\n\nUsing different sets of data across the paper and different systems can lead to a lot of confusion and time being wasted. When an HRIS doesn\u2019t integrate with a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/payroll-software\/\">payroll system<\/a>, the process of managing and paying your people becomes more complex for our friends in HR and payroll.\n\nFor many, different sets of data across systems can leave you feeling confused and frustrated. Imagine if you\u2019re looking at two or three sets of data.\n\nHow do you know which set is accurate?\n\nWhen considering an HRIS, you want to ensure that your payroll software of choice will integrate seamlessly, so you can breeze through the tricky parts with confidence whilst ensuring data accuracy.\n<h3 id=\"2-securely-store-employee-data-with-an-hris-system\">2. Securely store employee data with an HRIS system<\/h3>\nSerious about security? You should be.\n\nWhen thinking about using an HRIS system, you want to ensure that all information about your team and business is stored safely and securely. The last thing you want is for the data to fall into the wrong hands. When considering different HRIS systems, you should ask about the certifications the vendor holds, as well as how they manage and store confidential information.\n\nDid you know that 91爆料 has achieved <strong>ISO 27001:2013 <\/strong>certification? This will give you peace of mind that your employee data is in the safest hands.

Employee self-service<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s no secret that we\u2019re living in a society that values self-service. From bagging our own groceries to shopping on our phones, we\u2019re used to doing everything for ourselves in real-time. And this is no different when it comes to the way we manage our teams and their personal information.\n<h4 id=\"what-is-an-employee-self-service-portal-and-what-are-the-benefits\">What is an employee self-service portal and what are the benefits?<\/h4>\nAn employee self-service portal provides employees with access to their personal records and details whenever they want it and wherever they are and can include features such as:\n<ul>\n<li>Allowing employees to change their contact details<\/li>\n<li>Banking information<\/li>\n<li>Leave management and administrative tasks such as applying for leave, seeing their own leave history, requesting overtime, viewing compensation history and submitting their own work-related expenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"4-compliance-confidence\">4. Compliance confidence<\/h3>\nTime and time again, we see companies who have gotten their HR wrong \u2013 and often when they do, it\u2019s front page news. Don\u2019t become a company that gets caught up in a payroll scandal! This is a huge stressor for small businesses, especially those who are doing it manually in-house.\n\nWith an HRIS, you can have confidence that you\u2019re remaining compliant with award interpretation, single-touch payroll (In Australia) and work engine rules.\n\nDid you know that 91爆料 has over 45 modern awards built into our system, so you can feel more confident you\u2019re doing the right thing?\n<h3 id=\"5-paperless-onboarding\">5. Paperless onboarding<\/h3>\nOnboarding is one of the very first experiences your new hire\u2019s have within your business. That\u2019s why it&#8217;s essential that you create a positive experience when new employees join. You want it to be remembered for all of the right reasons!\n\nDid you know that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/foundation\/ourwork\/initiatives\/resources-from-past-initiatives\/Documents\/Onboarding%20New%20Employees.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Society for Human Resource Management<\/a> (SHRM) estimates that 1 in every 25 employees leave their jobs due to a poor onboarding process? With so much on the line (including the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/recruitment-costs\/\">hidden costs of recruitment<\/a>), you can\u2019t afford to get your onboarding wrong.\n\nWhen <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/choosing-the-right-hr-software\/\">weighing up software solutions<\/a>, ensure the option you choose offers paperless onboarding with the ability to:\n<ul>\n<li>Prepare and send letters of offer<\/li>\n<li>Create or use compliant templates<\/li>\n<li>Use electronic signatures so offers can be accepted online<\/li>\n<li>Track new employee onboard status in real time<\/li>\n<li>Develop induction content (eg. company values, company handbook, welcome video).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"6-performance-management\">6. Performance management<\/h3>\nDid you know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/victorlipman\/2016\/08\/08\/65-of-employees-want-more-feedback-so-why-dont-they-get-it\/?sh=22488e3a914a\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">65% of employees<\/a> are seeking more feedback in their roles? This proves that regular and recurring feedback is key to a successful and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">engaged workforce<\/a> \u2013 making it a critical criterion when choosing an HRIS.\n\nYou should be looking for ways you can help improve performance throughout your organisation, whether that\u2019s running regular <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/what-are-1-1s\/\">one on ones (1:1s)<\/a>\u00a0or<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/performance-review-guide\/\"> performance reviews<\/a>. But it\u2019s not just that \u2013 you should investigate how easily you can develop feedback loops, set KPIs and design custom reviews.\n\nThis is your opportunity for an HRIS to help you build a positive performance culture for your business where everyone is aiming for the same goals.\n<h3 id=\"7-reward-and-recognition\">7. Reward and recognition<\/h3>\nWe all know that people are the heart and soul of every business. They\u2019re the ones who keep the cogs turning, drive growth and work actively towards achieving your goals. Let\u2019s face it \u2013 without them, you wouldn\u2019t be where you are today.\n\nBut it\u2019s not just us saying this. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bersin.com\/News\/Content.aspx?id=15543\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Research<\/a> backs it up, proving that organisations who regularly give thanks and recognise their employees far outperform those who don\u2019t.\n\nWhen looking for an HRIS, you want to ensure that there is a way to effectively reward and recognise your team. You want to make the reward and recognition experience feel genuine, and make them feel valued for the work they\u2019re doing.\n\nWant to learn more about effective HR management?

But that\u2019s where we can help.\n\nWith these few steps, you\u2019ll be on your way to finding and choosing the right HRIS for you and your business needs.\n<h3 id=\"understand-what-youre-looking-for-in-an-hris\">Understand what you\u2019re looking for in an HRIS<\/h3>\nWhen it comes to finding and implementing a new type of software for your business, sometimes you don\u2019t know exactly what you\u2019re looking for.\n\nThese few questions should get you thinking about your HRIS needs:\n<ul>\n<li>Is the software easy to use, does it have an intuitive user interface and is it cost-effective?<\/li>\n<li>Is system implementation easy and will it cause minimal disruption to BAU activity?<\/li>\n<li>Does it include self-service options and is it automated?<\/li>\n<li>Does the software provider prioritise data security, visibility and employee records?<\/li>\n<li>Will it streamline current HR processes and make your role easier?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow, we\u2019ll show you how to navigate through the HRIS vendors, identify your requirements, shortlist your options and choose your perfect HRIS solution!\n<h3 id=\"identify-your-requirements\">Identify your requirements<\/h3>\nImagine you\u2019re buying a car. Do you walk into the sale yard, close your eyes and choose one at random? Do you Google \u2018car\u2019 and buy the first thing which comes up?\n\n<strong>Just like with a car, there\u2019s a process that comes before you purchase when looking for HRIS software.<\/strong>\n\nThe right HR software will meet the current and forecasted needs of your business.
