What’s the one big thing your company needs to consider as you examine the options for upgrading your human resources systems? Keeping user experience at the forefront of HR system use is the key to choosing a system that works for all.
User experience describes how people react to and use systems. A system with a positive user experience is easy for people to use, and makes it easier for them to complete the tasks they need to finish on the system.
When systems such as HR software are designed with user experience in mind, the user’s learning curve is shortened. Although training may still be needed, the system tends to be more intuitive than not, so that simple tasks are quickly learned. If something isn’t readily apparently, it’s easy to find.
Many companies are investing in human resources technology. Human resources directors nationwide are donning their IT caps, or finding friends in the IT department who can work alongside them to choose a system that will meet all of their user needs.
When selecting your company’s next HR system, how it “feels” or its user experience is important. To get the best system for your company’s needs, the following tips can help you during the selection process.
The role of the HR department has changed from being the personnel managers to being “personnel plus.” Recruiting, training and insurance remain important to the HR department, but the data provided by the HR department to the rest of the business is equally important.
Staffing data, for example, can be used to forecast your company’s ability to meet demand. Recruiting statistics can tell you how long it will take to fill a skilled position when someone is out on medical leave. All of these facts, once made available to your company through new and improved HR systems, can help you manage workflows better to improve business.
