We were earlier using more or less traditional HR processes that were highly manual and had an ESS component for employees. It's been six months since we moved to an end-to-end HR solution that also supports us with ESS, allowing HR to work on more strategic activities.
I wanted to know if all HR professionals think alike. Doesn't the need for this software make sense as the ROI is mind-boggling?

Hi,
As an HR professional, I feel it's high time to transition to systems and reduce human interventions wherever possible, redirecting resources towards more productive endeavors. I believe that implementing systems and outsourcing will play a crucial role in shaping the future of HR.

Hi Anshul,
True, but I am amazed to read and even at times encounter the hesitation from fellow HR professionals to move from traditional HR to an end-to-end solution. Not only does the HR team get to work on more employee-oriented strategic tasks, but it also saves time and money for management. We have been using this relatively new solution - PeopleWorks - for over 8 months, and it is surely giving us the much-needed time for other employee engagement activities.
It's indeed high time that the HR role should be made more tech-oriented, if you know what I mean.

Rao
P.S: Is your company using one?

Hi,
I second your thought. My previous companies were using PeopleSoft & Oracle HRMS, but I also found HR colleagues not comfortable with the system. Well, I guess it takes a lot of effort, patience, and time to get used to systems :)
Moreover, I don't want to offend, and pardon me if I sound rude... I have observed that people from non-HR backgrounds who are working in HR are very hesitant with HR systems. I am not currently working but wish to join an organization soon that is using a good HRMS platform.

Hi Anshul,
I think the hesitation is due to a knowledge gap or the inability to use cumbersome solutions that are usually available in the market. I personally believe that the HRMS should be user-friendly and intuitive.
Management needs to realize the benefits of these solutions as not only the long-term cost is curtailed, but processes like HR can be made more efficient and productive. I feel the onus lies not just on HR, but also on management.
I would like to know why HRs maintain a distance from such solutions?

Hi,
It is true that when it comes to adopting new software, people do tend to hesitate. New technology is seen as something akin to treading in unknown waters... you don't exactly know the depth of it. The trick, I feel, is to have a session with all the employees, including HR, taking them through the application pre-adoption, and extend a robust support system post-adoption. Once they are familiar with the new technology, they would be able to see the benefit it accrues!

Hi Grasflower,
How true. But fortunately, when we voiced our intention of using PeopleWorks at our organization, we did it slightly differently. We asked the HR about the pain areas and then matched them against the PeopleWorks solutions. And voilà, the response was positive. The best part was that the HR team was more than happy to promote and assist in the unveiling of PeopleWorks at the office.
Of course, this wouldn't take away the hard work put in by the PeopleWorks team, who stood throughout the transition and made it easy. However, when I speak to fellow HR professionals from different companies, they show hesitation even after knowing the full benefits of these HRMS solutions. I wonder why?

P.S. I have sort of become their reference speaker now... should start charging them... :)
