So many SMEs, especially those with fewer than 16 employees, seem to think that HR software is out of their reach or only for large organisations. But, there are plenty of affordable HR system providers out there that, although they might appear to only target big businesses, can easily make a small operation’s life a lot easier.
A Business Process Management System is a Must
It’s a shame that most vendors seem to want to only target large enterprises and get the obvious big-buck accounts.
The truth is that small businesses also need business process management (BPM) systems to streamline their output and make the most of their small teams’ productivity. HR systems for small businesses are exactly that – a BPM mechanism. Taking the hassle and stress out of holiday requests and absence management, timesheets, training and development, performance reviews, appraisals and much more.
We see enterprise-level customers flying with small business systems, too. Especially if these are modern, agile companies that don’t want cumbersome, behemoth systems that not only cost a fortune but also virtually require a degree to operate.
These days, the smarter big companies want to behave like smaller, agile operations. Just think, when low-cost-fare operators took airline market share, the big companies followed suit! So, we’ll continue to see more 500-plus-staff operations adopting small business HR systems – and wider commercial practices.
Small Businesses Need the Right HR Software the Most
Small businesses, more than any other type, are the most affected by ever-increasing demands for compliance, so the last thing they need is more admin weighing them down. Ultimately, your business demands productivity. So small firms arguably need these systems more than any other to unlock the potential in their team and remain competitive.
Attracting talent is hard enough. Retaining it can be as hard, if not harder. Freeing everyone up to do what they’re best at is one of the most important things a small business owner can do as they fight against giants.
Give your team the tools they need to reward your faith in them. The gloves are off. No excuses.
HRLocker offers businesses large and small a wide-ranging suite of solutions for attracting and retaining talent.
