REDDITHRIS, or Human Resource Information System, provides features that support the HR department in a wide range of tasks, from finding and hiring employees, to managing the organization at large.
Overhead costs might be consistent, but they can be improved. With the right management strategies and software tools you can cut down processing times and improve the flow of your business. The result? Lowered costs per action. You don’t want employees wasting their time on boring admin when you need them sharp for more difficult tasks that require creative problem solving.
When you improve the flow and function in your workplace, you reduce costs. Start today by doing the following:
Reducing Turnover
Turnover is expensive. It means you have to pay to search for a new employee, as well as hire and train a new person. This new candidate also won’t be optimized and in-tune with your business right off the bat, so you’ll lose out on productivity as well. To avoid this very high cost, you will want to use these strategies:
· Reward and Recognize Talent
One of the biggest reasons top employees leave is because they feel undervalued and underappreciated. By tracking progress, remembering to thank and compliment people on their work, and by rewarding them when the time is right, you can earn their loyalty for years.
· Offer the Right Benefits
If you want to be a great employer, you need to offer benefits; but, not every benefit will be of interest to your employee. A great compromise is to offer a base level of benefits — Christmas party, day off on their birthday, etc. — and then allow them to choose one or two additional benefits to suit their lives best. A parent could opt for a discount on daycare, for example, whereas a single person might want to sign up for a gym discount.
· Hire the Right Person the First Time
The onboarding and training process of a new employee is expensive, so getting the hire right the first time is key. You can improve this by simply using a great HRIS that can help you improve your recruitment strategy and recruitment management abilities. As a bonus, it is also instrumental in improving HR services for your existing employees.
Reducing Processing Times
Time is money, so reduce processing times with:
· Management Systems
Management systems take the difficulty of understanding large, unstructured sheets of data out of the equation. Software can instantly deal with this data, process it, and provide reports. In turn, your employees can speed up their daily duties and instead focus on the more difficult task of creative problem solving.
· Cloud Computing
Paying for new software, new server space, and similar costs is unnecessary when you can instead opt for Cloud computing. By switching to Software as a Service (SaaS) and the Cloud, you can cut costs and improve your flexibility.
Improving Work/Life Balance
Health and well-being play a crucial part in productivity, so the best way to reduce the costs associated with slow workers is to help them improve their work/life balance. Offer a great break room and scheme that encourages healthy meals to be brought in from home. Organize a running group people can join. There are so many ways to help encourage a healthy body and mind that will improve their satisfaction with their job and their work output.
