Transform Your Business with HR Software

I was chatting with a client last week. She shared that she spent her Sunday afternoons updating holiday spreadsheets.

Sounds familiar?

When you employ people, a lot of your time can be consumed by daily tasks like managing absences, rotas, and holidays.

That's why you need to use HR software in your business.

It's the biggest productivity hack for businesses that employ staff.

Six Ways HR Software Can Make Your Life Easier

Here are six ways HR software could ease your workload:

1. Manages Absence Efficiently

Consider the last time someone called in sick. Did you scramble to rearrange everything? With HR software, that chaos transforms into manageable tasks.

One of my clients reduced their absence rate by 22%. They achieved this simply by having better visibility of absence patterns. They identified employees who frequently took sick days on Mondays and addressed these issues early.

2. Takes Care of Holiday Requests

Imagine no more sticky notes cluttering your desk asking for days off. Also, you won't have to remember if you've already approved someone else's request.

One of my favorite client stories comes from a small manufacturing firm. They faced production nightmares due to holiday clashes.

Now, their team books leave through their phones. Employees can see who else is off, and the owner can approve requests with a single click.

Bank holiday planning is now stress-free. Happy days indeed!

3. Stores Important Employee Files Securely

Let me ask you: How quickly could you find your office manager's recent performance review or your technician's training certificates?

One business owner I work with kept everything in a filing cabinet. When an employee made a subject access request, it took her three full days to gather documents.

Now, thanks to HR software, she gathers everything in just 30 minutes. That's real time reclaimed for your business!

4. Deals with Payroll Seamlessly

We’ve all felt the pressure of end-of-month payroll. The fear of making mistakes that could impact someone’s mortgage payment is real.

A restaurant client used to spend hours reconciling tips, overtime, and holiday pay. Now, he saves nearly two days each month with integrated payroll. His team loves accessing digital payslips anytime.

5. Helps You Make Data-Based Decisions

While gut feelings hold value, data gives you the confidence to make informed choices.

I once worked with a creative agency struggling to understand why they kept losing good employees. Their HR software revealed a startling pattern. Staff who hadn’t had a performance review in six months were more likely to leave.

A simple fix led to a massive impact on retention.

6. Offers Employee Self-Service

"Where’s the latest version of the handbook?" "How many holiday days do I have left?" Does this sound familiar?

A client told me her favorite feature is the self-service option. Her team can find answers themselves.

This has halved her interruptions, allowing her team to feel more independent. It’s a win-win!

The Bottom Line for Your Business

Let’s be honest. Many of my clients initially view HR software as just another expense. However, after implementing it, they often call me weeks later, amazed by how much time they’ve reclaimed.

One business owner calculated a staggering gain of about 12 hours a week! That amounts to 624 hours a year spent on business development instead of administrative tasks.

What could you accomplish with an extra day and a half each week?
