The Challenge
Implementing new HR Software, online or onsite, takes time… a lot of time. Most HR teams will stick with their HR systems, even if it is outdated and inefficient, in some cases only focusing on HRIS and not really HRMS. Moving to new Online HR software or implementing a new HR system from scratch is a daunting task for any team. Lets look at how to quickly setup new HR Software.
To setup new HR Software, be it cloud or self hosted, can be difficult and take long.
Implementing a Cloud based HR solution is not easy, how do you get all this paper files into the cloud? Where does one start to setup new HR Software, what is the process? You will need a team just implementing the new system, while the rest of the team continues the day to day HR activities.
Most of the time you will find that HR data is difficult to manage. The simple explanation is that it changes the all the time. Every month employees accumulate new leave. They get sick and use a Sick day. They get promoted or they get a increase. Taking longer that 1 month to move form a paper based HR practice to a online HR solution will make it difficult to ensure all data is accurate.
Where do all the Human Resources data live? Do we have some of it in Electronic files, spreadsheets? Lists? Maybe a Payroll export file, or a Sign in register. Data can come from different places, but it is always a issue to have a consolidated view of your data.

Things to look out for when implementing a New HRIS system.
Planning is always the best defense when implementing a new HR-IS system.
Most systems will have copies of data for employees, the best possible approach is to investigate what system has the best copy of data, that is the most up to date and complete. Identify the gaps in the data and plan to correct this as soon as possible. HRSimplified has a Data and implementation team that can assist.
Once the data is identified and located, start gathering the data into machine readable formats, basically a Spreadsheet or a CSV file. Most payroll systems contain the data you would need, a payroll extract can be used to import the basic Employee data in a quick a clear way.
HRSimplified has helped us take the admin out of HR. Meaningful reports and safe storage of employee information. Overall great service and always looking to improve and innovate their product.
