Good HR systems improve your workflow - systemize your HR work and reap the benefits

People are everything to your business, no matter what it does. HR systems can help make things easier for the HR department.

Therefore, as an owner and manager, you should also invest in making sure that your people are as comfortable as possible and are put in a position where they can be most effective. We are complex creatures, and no two of us are the same - yet there are ways to organize your HR efforts that can make working with your employees much easier.

The key word is overview. With the right overview, you as a manager or owner can take action where it makes sense because you can see where it's needed. You can keep track of your team and the results that are being produced, and you can set the framework for your employees that gives them the best opportunities to perform.

HR is both pre- and post-employment

It may not come as a surprise to many, but it's important to look at employees and their potential within the existing group of employees even before they've joined the team. Recruiting the right people is one of the most important things a manager can dedicate their time to.

If you have the right team that complements each other, you can get the most out of each individual's potential. This makes for happy and productive employees, which not only gives the company the most bang for its buck, but also makes for a more pleasant workplace.

It's nice for everyone to come to work knowing that your colleagues are ready to help, that they're doing their best and that they want the same things as you do.

Conversely, the wrong mix of employees can create a work environment that is far from conducive to productivity and job satisfaction. It doesn't deliver results for company productivity, it doesn't do anything good for employees and, ultimately, it can have an impact on the way the business is run.

Structure your HR efforts with the right HR systems

The aforementioned overview is one of the things we focus on the most in our HR system, HRM-Nordic. The difference between us and other HR systems is that our system is modular, so it can be adapted to your wishes and needs. That way, you get help with the HR tasks you need.

One of our most important tasks, no matter which part of the HR tasks you want help with, is the overview, and by focusing on the modules, you get exactly the overview you need.

The system is intuitively structured and the user interface is easy to navigate, so you don't get lost in dead ends of functions you wouldn't use anyway. And if you want to use several of our modules, they work seamlessly together to maintain an overview - for example, when moving a candidate from applicant to hired employee.

One very practical thing that structure helps with is time. By having the right structure around your HR work, you can save a lot of time on otherwise time-consuming HR tasks. Most managers know how time-consuming recruitment can be, for example, or the development of the employees that make up the company.

HRM-Nordic is involved from recruitment to performance reviews - and that's an advantage

Having a unified system to manage your HR tasks has a clear advantage in that you don't have to switch systems to, for example, recruit and another to help develop employees - for example, through performance appraisals.

By having it all together, you don't have to worry about transferring data to be read by different systems, you have the same way to navigate no matter what you need.

The ability to keep candidates in the system during the recruitment phase and compare them with the existing team of employees is a huge advantage going forward. The overview means a lot, and if you can start comparing different candidates with the current ones, it's easier to put together the right group.

An online HR system makes your work flexible

The advantage of a system like HRM-Nordic is not only the overview, user-friendliness and integration with other systems, it is also an advantage that it is a online HR system. Having your HR efforts online ensures that your information is always accessible.

This ensures flexible HR work, especially if your company has multiple offices or you need to conduct job interviews outside of your comfort zone.

When the system is online, it's easier to access, and of course, HRM-Nordic complies with all the rules set out by the GDPR in May 2018. Therefore, you don't have to worry about security and privacy when using an online HR system like HRM-Nordic, we've taken care of data management.
