HR Software

HR software, also known as "human resources software", refers to a group of program solutions for HR managers that provide digital support for their work. The aim is to make the work of HR staff as efficient as possible and thus increase the company's success.

What functions does HR software offer?

HR software is subdivided according to the areas of application and scope of functions. For example, there is management software such as "Recruitee" or "Softgarden", which are exclusively e-recruiting solutions. Other HR management applications are complete solutions that can be connected directly to the digital company. These include "Personio" or "HR Works". Modular software solutions such as "rexx systems" or "jacando" are also possible.

Basic functions of HR software

• Personnel administration or "digital personnel file"
• Applicant management or e-recruiting
• Personnel cost accounting and controlling
• Some HR software providers offer additional functionalities to help with the digital transformation of companies:
  • Time recording
  • workforce scheduling
  • Training management
  • Employment reference creation
  • Management of employee appraisals
  • Travel management
  • Employee self-services

In this respect, it is important that you as an HR manager know exactly what your needs are and select the software that best suits your company, its culture, structure and employees.

What are the advantages of HR SOFTWARE?

HR software can be introduced for a variety of reasons and has many advantages. We would like to introduce you to some of the advantages.

By using HR software, time-consuming routine work can be outsourced to the software. This relieves the HR department and frees up more capacity. For example, the time gained can be used to develop new HR concepts and thus support the further development of the company.

Another point is the greater transparency: employees are actively involved in HR management, which creates more transparency. Many of the programs allow employees to view their own files, maintain their own data or access further training opportunities, for example. With the help of these employee self-services, employees are able to take many HR processes into their own hands, which can also lead to greater employee satisfaction.

It is also important that all relevant data can be accessed at any time and from anywhere. This gives team leaders and managers a good overview of all team members. As all information is stored in the system and can be called up at the click of a mouse, if an employee is absent, it can be quickly checked whether they are on further training, on vacation or on sick leave.

For whom is HR software worthwhile?

Basically, the introduction of HR software is worthwhile for large and medium-sized companies alike. HR tasks in companies are often carried out "hands on" by managers or the managing director, which is an unnecessary burden on everyday working life and results in inconsistent processes. As soon as a company has its own employees and several people are entrusted with HR activities, it is therefore worth considering purchasing HR software.
