Understanding key issues

CHALLENGES

Rigid technology that doesn't support future growth

Systems are outdated and don't offer the flexibility and scalability to enhance the employee experience and lighten the burden of HR teams.

Can't easily access and report on employee data

Your current system doesn't offer insight into employee sentiment, flight risks or internal mobility.

HR staff are overwhelmed with admin tasks

You have limited or no self-service capabilities within your existing solution, and HR teams spend the majority of time taking enquiries from employees.

You have a large and diverse workforce

Employee expectations are changing and vary across different departments. Your current solutions aren't robust enough to handle this.

Your system isn't designed for your business

Tasks and processes require a lot of extra manual work, creating inefficiency and wasting time.

Employees require mobile and remote access to systems

With employees spending more time working from home and out of the office, you don't have the technology to support the changes in working patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How will Advanced HR software benefit my business?

    Our HR solution, Cloud HR, takes care of the entire employee lifecycle from recruitment to retirement. Through a combination of core HR functionality, instant online access and an all-inclusive reporting suite, Cloud HR delivers unrivalled maintenance of your organisation’s full employee lifecycle. It lightens the load of HR teams, while improving the employee experience. Cloud HR is designed to be flexible to the needs of your people, empowering employees to self-serve and access the system anytime, anywhere. Cloud HR reduces the administrative burden on HR teams, so you can focus on investing valuable time into activity that is going to enhance the employee experience and increase retention.

  • What is the advantage of using Cloud-based HR software?

    The events of the past few months have shown that Cloud-based software is now not a desire but an absolute ‘must have’ for HR teams. Employees, and HR teams themselves, have an expectation that they will be able to access key information remotely whilst away from the office. HR teams need to be able to report on employee trends and understand workforce data, and employees want to be able to self-serve with ease, wherever they may be. Having rigid, old technology in the business is no longer fit for purpose, and won’t serve the needs of the people in your organisation. Over time, this will lead to dissatisfied teams, as well as admin and data headaches. Using Cloud software simplifies processes and makes it quick and simple for all teams to access tools.

  • How much does HR software cost?

    At Advanced, we work on a per employee per month (PEPM) Software as a Service (SaaS) price model. This makes the cost of Cloud HR easier to manage and means you can scale up as your business and workforce grows.

  • How secure is my data in Cloud-based HR software?

    Using Cloud-based software is actually much more secure than on premise solutions. Cloud HR is backed up in our Tier 3 data centres, meaning your data and system has one of the highest levels of security possible.

  • How can I improve the productivity of my HR teams?

    HR teams are often held back by the amount of admin work they have to complete. Managing sickness and absence, appraisals, training, recruitment and starters and leavers can become really complex when information is either paper-based, kept in spreadsheets or on disparate systems. Ultimately, this becomes far more time consuming than it needs to be. Bringing all of these elements of employee management together is a huge way to increase productivity. Providing one central system for both HR teams and employees to record information is critical to removing admin headaches and increasing productivity. 

  • Who will benefit most from HR software?

    Cloud HR software is beneficial to everyone in the business. Reducing the admin burden on HR teams means that they can invest more time in activity which is going to improve employee satisfaction and make your business a better place to work. Employees will also benefit from being able to self-serve information, such as  easily booking annual leave or looking up policies, allowing them to get on with their main activities.

“With one online database in Cloud HR we can access all our people information instantly. We are also confident that the information is accurate and up-to-date, which is not always the case if you are using multiple spreadsheets and manually importing and copying data."

Enite Andrews, HR Manager

Read Case study

“One of the key results so far has been the reduction of input time for the team. The HR team has been able to move away from spending the majority of the day on data entry and working through transactions to looking at more value added data and understanding what the data in the system is actually telling us."
