ERP – A One-Stop solution For Amplifying Human Capabilities

Digital technology has impinged in all the facets of the corporate world today. However, human resource still holds a strong foot in all the brouhaha. Efficient workforce management includes pivotal areas of recruitment, training, payroll, man-hours, attendance, and staff well-being & prosperity. Little did we know in the last millennium that automation could prove to be a catalyst to workforce management. Today, we shed some light on the perks of using an efficient ERP like Roadmap ERP in HR functioning.

Provides a Coherent Database

ERP hosts all the databases for providing information in a single window. This database category of ERP is a great supporting framework for the smooth functioning of the HR team. This centralized information database is then used by the HR team to access vital information viz. Name & Employee ID’s, salary, manhours worked and other additional benefits. This forms what we call the HR Module – Human Resource Information System also responsible for the internal communications of tracking the employee's progress and pending reports.

Administers training and skill tracking

Finding the right person for the right job has never been so easy without ERP. Some tasks are to be performed by designated professionals. For instance, you need a software engineer to determine what's wrong with computer software. The ERP system keeps a track of the skills demanded for a specific job description, monitors employee’s training history & progress and also keeps a record of expiring certifications.

Ensures Internal Acquiescence 

It is crucial for the HR team to establish controls and revisit the processes and systems, to ensure adherence. That’s where the HR Module comes into the picture – when an employee leaves the organization,  the module automatically gets hold of the passwords, codes and takes steps to change them. The ERP System ensures that functional controls are put in place to protect the access and sharing of sensitive information across various departments within the organization. 

Enhances collaboration within the organization

ERP emphasises on timely data entry and update in real-time. As a result, the employees can access the most recent information, schedule tasks and keep a check on their workload. Whats more peacefull than realizing on-time work deliverables? 

Minimizes HR workload through Self-Service

HR team tends to handle bulk information making data updation a cumbersome task. The automated data collection and updation feature of ERP enables employees to update their own records reducing the workload of HR personnel.

Who knew ERP could be such a value addition to the human resource team! This way the HR personnel could focus on tasks of strategic importance and put the overall wellbeing of the employees at the forefront.
