Mobile phones have become a huge part of our lives. According to Wikipedia, over 160 million Nigerians own a mobile phone.

With the number of internet users growing every year, mobile phones have become an important means of communication between businesses and their customers.

I read an article last week on SEO and it turns out that Google will punish you with low search ranking if your website is not mobile friendly. Amazing, isn’t it?

We can see that this technology isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. But what impact does it have on Human Resources? Let’s find out;

Easier Access To Information: It is true, HR Technology has made it pretty darn easy for employees to access their information but the integration of smartphones has made it even easier. Now your employees don’t always have to be close to a computer to access necessary data, all they need is their smartphone and an HR app.

We can all agree that processing employees’ leaves requires a lot of time and labour when it is done manually. And just like any manual process, it is prone to human error.

The cost of leave and absence contributes to nearly 35% of an organization’s payroll. That is a lot, isn’t it? Despite this, most Nigerian businesses don’t seem to track or even manage employee absence or leave. Why? Well, most times it is because they haven’t found an effective paperless solution that can help them get the job done.

Most Human Resource Management Systems today have an Automated Leave Management feature that enables businesses manage their employees’ leaves with ease.

So here are some benefits of an automated leave management system;

Track Leaves and Absences: Because it is an automated system, tracking employees’ leaves and absences becomes easy, fast and accurate. This in turn reduces administrative burden by significantly reducing the amount of paperwork needed to process leaves.

Every employer/manager knows how important it is for employees to be motivated because a motivated workforce is a productive workforce. Unfortunately, not every employer/manager succeeds at finding creative ways of motivating their workforce.

Here are some awesome ways to motivate employees;

Gamification and Incentives: Gamification is the application of typical elements of game playing and techniques in order to engage people and motivate them to achieve their goals. This is a very innovative method of motivating employees because it is fun and everyone likes to have fun.

Incentives are also a good way to reward and motivate your employees after a job well done. These incentives could be material (a raise, a gift, a promotion) or nonmaterial (flexible hours, a day off, professional growth).

HR Technology has changed the way we look at Human Resources Management because it has enabled businesses to simplify their HR processes through automation and cloud computing.

HR systems today have the following solutions to help streamline most if not all HR processes;

Payroll
Staff Records
Recruiting
Employee Requests and Goals
Time & Attendance
Leave Management and more

So why is HR Technology such a big deal? Here are some points;

Reduced Paperwork: I think this is my favourite point because I have a phobia for huge piles of paperwork (I am not kidding, it scares me!). Now imagine how HR managers feel when they have to deal with payroll, time & attendance and other HR processes manually (so much paperwork). HR Technology has made it possible for all employee information to be stored digitally, in one central location. This reduces paperwork significantly and enables easy access to any information required at any time or place.

Wow, it’s another week and instead of seeing happy motivated employees eager to get back to work after the weekend; you see a zombie like crowd just shuffling their way through the doors and into their cubicles. They come to work emotionless, far from motivated and definitely not eager to get back to work. Some even go as far as wearing a T-Shirt that says “I Hate Mondays” (We get it!)

Employers know that attracting, hiring and retaining top talent is crucial to the success of any business. In addition to that, employee turnover can adversely affect a business by reducing employee morale, productivity and increasing (avoidable) business costs. Scary isn’t it?

No employer wants to settle for mediocre employees, that is why it is important to create the perfect recruiting strategy to help achieve this goal.
