Streamline your HR admin with a cloud-based system

Founding and running a startup business is incredibly challenging. As soon as you employ your first person, you’re dealing with the daily people-related tasks and responsibilities. According to research, CEOs of small and medium sized businesses lose one fifth of their working week to employee admin related tasks such as authorising leave, logging sickness and tracking absence – valuable time which could be focussed on strategy and growth.

Despite tighter budgets and limited IT resources, small businesses still need to centralise workflows and be efficient, especially when it comes to managing their people.

Very often, organisations have employee information spread over different systems, spreadsheets and even paper-based files. This can result in mistakes, processing delays and, more significantly, data breaches and failure to comply with GDPR which come with serious consequences for any business.

Legislation changed in March 2019, with employees now legally able to request information held by their employer about them. This is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). If the information is spread over different systems, spreadsheets etc, collating this and supplying it to an employee could be a time-consuming exercise.

HR software can lend a valuable hand in assisting small businesses with these challenges and the earlier implemented, the better.

By centralising employee data and HR documentation and automating time consuming admin tasks, you can access employee data, when and where needed, in a safe and secure environment. Plus having access to reporting tools can help identify employee behaviour that would otherwise be difficult to analyse.

Furthermore, with flexible working so popular now, HR admin tasks are much more efficient when employees have access remotely to an online system.

For our clients who don’t already have a system in place to streamline their processes, we recommend the cloud-based system BreatheHR as the best option in the market for their needs. We use it ourselves at AAB People so know first-hand how beneficial and employee friendly it is. It is easy and intuitive to use, quick to set up, extremely affordable for a startup business, reliable and secure.
