HR Data in the Poor Economy

2012-02-16T10:36:00.000-08:00

Things have been tough all around with the economy leading to record layoffs and unemployment. Businesses focused on the bottom line are more interested than ever in retaining highly motivated quality employees while quietly disposing of dead weight in an attempt to come out the other end of the down turn with an albeit smaller, stronger workforce and a more profitable business model.

Human Resources data is more important than ever in achieving these goals. A comprehensive HRIS will allow you to document both positive and negative employee performance allowing managers to better make those tough decisions about who will stay and who will go. Just as getting rid of dead weight can be important, rewarding and showing gratitude for positive performance can be just as important leading to a highly motivated team. While giving raises may be difficult in tough times, sometimes a positive attitude and a “Thank you” go a long way toward employee job satisfaction. An HRIS will also help you to keep compliant with a number of government regulations helping to avoid potential fines and costly litigation. When contemplating layoffs, you need to make sure your employee data is well documented as some of those who are laid off may seek retribution, regardless of how justified the decision was. In addition to the benefits to the work force as a whole, an HRIS will help you to streamline the HR Department allowing them to concentrate less on the tedious management of data and more on the employees themselves.

The bottom line is that an HRIS will help your organization to create a happier work force and provide well documented, defensible data to support the decisions made by HR and Management on a day to day basis.

The HR Data Manager is an easy to use HRIS and includes a FREE 30 Day Trial available at www.hrdatamanager.com.

Is Technology taking the “Human” out of Human Resources?

2011-10-10T08:43:00.001-07:00

In today’s world of technology driven solutions for nearly any kind of problem, including those found in Human Resources Management, people can often be left wondering if the technology is really helping or if we are losing the “Human” in Human Resources.

Whether your organization is large or small, HRIS/HRMS software solutions can actually increase efficiency saving you time so you can concentrate on what is important… providing support and services to Applicants, Employees and Management within the organization. Many HR Departments are so bogged down by paper, spreadsheets and manual processes that their time is dominated trying to perform the simplest of tasks leaving little time to provide quality services and strategic planning.

HRIS/HRMS systems organize and manage data putting both detailed and summary data at your fingertips often allowing you to identify problems and take corrective action before more serious issues arise. These systems track important data intended to help your organization stay compliant with governmental regulations and avoid costly lawsuits. Having Employee history, compensation, performance, benefits and much more at your fingertips will help HR to better serve Management allowing them to make sound business decisions based on solid data.

Properly implementing technology in Human Resources puts the “Human” BACK into Human Resources by giving HR the time to concentrate less on data management and more on the people that make up the organization.

These are tough times! How will an HRIS help the bottom line?

2011-09-25T14:38:00.000-07:00

An HRIS system allows you to save money by streamlining HR and other Administrative duties resulting in improved efficiency. As a result you may find that you have also made a reduction in staffing requirements.

These are tough economic times and everything comes down to how it affects the bottom line. What if you could implement an HRIS system quickly, efficiently and for a reasonable cost while improving your bottom line?

An HRIS system can improve recruiting and retention while putting data at HR and Management’s fingertips that can protect the organization from legal action and financial loss as a result of being out of compliance with a number of government employment laws.

HR professionals are finding themselves in a world of increasing government regulations that can result in legal and financial repercussions if applicant and employee data is poorly documented.

While HR is often overlooked by Management, efficient HR Administration can save time and money resulting in a more profitable enterprise.

The HR Data Manager helps organizations to increase HR and Administrative efficiency while tracking and reporting key information helping the organization to stay compliant with employment laws and documenting information to help protect the organization in the case of legal action.

Yes, you DO need an HRIS!

2011-02-05T07:24:00.000-08:00

Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) use modern database technology to organize Employee data and simplify a variety of HR tasks. By improving data efficiency, HR professionals are increasing their effectiveness in the work place and better serving both their employers and the employees that look to them for guidance. Human Resources professionals find that they have time to improve services when they are no longer trying to chase down data buried in papers or spreadsheets.

HRIS systems put key data at the fingertips of the HR Professional allowing them to easily access both current and historical data including positions held, compensation, bonuses, leave and attendance, training and much more. In addition to detailed data, they provide quick access to summarized data such as EEO and veterans break downs, Turnover, and various counts just to name a few.

Another aspect that is often overlooked when considering whether or not to invest in an HRIS system is compliance. An HRIS system helps HR Professionals to keep organized and helps them to maintain compliance with a number of government regulations including ADA, EEO, FMLA, IRCA and more. By keeping well organized documentation and having easy access to Employee related data, an HRIS can help to keep legal costs down when an Employee challenge arises. Many industries have required safety training. HRIS systems can help you track required training, training dates, attendees, renewal dates etc.

Organizations stand to benefit from implementing an HRIS regardless of whether they are large with a well staffed HR Department or small with a single administrative person wearing multiple hats including that of HR.

Improved efficiency and compliance will help your organization to become more effective in serving your Emloyees and exceeding the expectations of Management.

IRCA Compliance in the United States

2010-08-04T18:24:00.000-07:00

If you are an Employer in the United States, it is as important as ever to ensure your organization is compliant with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. While the previous Presidential administration conducted more workplace raids to round up and deport undocumented workers, the current Presidential administration has spent more time going after the Employers of undocumented workers and levying hefty fines against those Employers.

It is critical that you have the ability to document I9 related information for your employees and have the ability to know when an employee’s authorization to work in the United States is going to expire.

U.S. users of the HR Data Manager (http://www.hrdatamanager.com/) HRIS/HRMS are able to track detailed Employee information including I9 information and work authorization end dates for those who are not United States Citizens. Reports can easily be created showing upcoming expirations.

HR Data Manager HRIS/HRMS

2010-06-08T20:09:00.000-07:00

Spreadsheet Hell! Do you need an HRIS?

2010-05-20T07:32:00.000-07:00

It is not all that uncommon even in medium sized organizations to see all the HR Data managed in Excel spreadsheets. A spreadsheet for basic information, one for pay information, one for evaluations, the list goes on and on and the data never seems to match up perfectly between spreadsheets. John Smith is in this spreadsheet, so why wasn’t he added to the other one. Why is the name spelled one way in one spreadsheet and another way in the other. Oops! There was a typo on Mary’s employee number, so it is different in that spreadsheet.

I call this Spreadsheet Hell! While spreadsheets are a great place to look at and manipulate data, they are not meant to take the place of a relational database. Spreadsheets are prone to human error and make storing related data very difficult.

HRIS Systems using a relational database as a foundation are designed to ensure “referential integrity”. This means that related data is tied together by keys and it is not possible to have a compensation record for Johnny if he does not have a parent record with his base information. The two are tied together. An HRIS system also utilizes dropdowns and programming logic to ensure data accuracy and consistency.

If you still love to look at your data in spreadsheets, most HRIS Systems can export specified data to Excel where you can analyze it and play with it while the data remains safely stored in the HRIS’s database.

Aside from tying all the data together and ensuring referential integrity, the HRIS allows you to run a number of predefined or adhoc reports and filter data to get at exactly what you need whether it is as simple as a birthday listing or summarizing data into an EEO Analysis by Division.

Free yourself from Spreadsheet Hell and check out the HR Data Manager (www.hrdatamanager.com) today.

Our powerful and easy to use Human Resource Management System (HRMS / HRIS) allows your HR Team to hit the ground running and start working more efficiently while better utilizing time and resources. The HR Data Manager is easy to setup and streamlines administrative procedures, manages employee records and reduces the need for paperwork and manual records.

How to choose the right HRIS System

2010-05-12T06:58:00.000-07:00

Choosing any major software system can be a daunting task – let alone one that manages all the pertinent data of your most valuable resources – your Human Resources.

While there are a number of Enterprise HRIS systems on the market, we know that many Small & Medium sized businesses do not have the budget to purchase and implement these titanic systems. For this reason, we are going to concentrate on smaller HRIS systems that can help your organization without breaking the bank.

There are a number of mid level HRIS programs on the Market. It is not a bad idea to research several of them and compare their features. This should give you an idea of what an HRIS system is capable of doing for you.

Prior to determining your requirements for a new HRIS, it wouldn’t hurt to do a Self Audit and honestly look at your internal processes to determine what you can do better – regardless of what technology you choose to help you.

Now that you have a good idea of what HRIS systems can offer you as well as where you would like to improve internally, you can start coming up with what you Need and Want from an HRIS system. Once you have a list of “Requirements”, it wouldn’t hurt to categorize them into Needs vs. Wants. You could also use a system to rank the importance of requirements.

Knowing what you need now, you should be able to narrow the list of vendors you previously looked at to three and then item by item compare what they are able to provide with your requirements to determine which vendor has the best product. If a vendor has a trial version of the software, trying it firsthand can be a big help in determining whether the software will meet your needs.

Selecting the right HRIS does not have to be such a daunting task. Just break it down into these smaller steps and you will be on your way to choosing the right software!

The HR Data Manager (www.hrdatamanager.com) is a fully featured HRIS system serving the Small & Medium Business Market.

Microsoft Access Development Platform

2010-03-09T09:21:00.001-08:00

The posts on this Blog usually address issues related to Human Resources and Human Resource Information Systems. Since our product, the HR Data Manager (http://www.hrdatamanager.com/) is written in Microsoft Access, today I will be talking about the benefits of Access as a Development platform. The reason this is important is that our Enterprise and Enterprise Plus Edition’s come with all source code and can be easily modified to meet specific requirements. The majority of our customers are interested in this making the Access Development platform an important discussion.

Microsoft Access is available as part of the Microsoft Office Professional suite and is the number one desktop database platform in the world today. The great news is that there is a strong possibility that your company already owns Access as part of their Office Suite.

Microsoft Access allows rapid development of Relational Database applications. One difference between Access and many other platforms is that the backend database components and front end user interface components are both created within the same application. Access uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its programming language. VBA is a powerful language allowing a higher level of programming power than is available in other desktop database tools.

Access easily integrates with other members of the Office family adding to the power of applications created with it. Data can easily be exported from Access to Excel and Word.

Microsoft Access provides a platform to develop quality applications while allowing development to be performed in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of most other available platforms.

The HR Data Manager, written in Microsoft Access, can easily be customized to meet your specific needs. Check out the Free Trial today at http://www.hrdatamanager.com/

Investing in HR - Making the Case

2010-02-22T08:11:00.000-08:00

The HR Department is the central nerve center within the organization for Employee issues and Employee data. HR is concerned with every aspect of the Employee from the time he or she is interviewed as an applicant to the time he or she is retiring or otherwise separating from the organization. Recruiting, Hiring, Benefits, Training, and Retention are just a few of the things HR is concerned with.

All too often, requests to invest in HR technology are denied because management is not convinced of the return on investment. HR needs to build a case that shows not only the direct benefits of implementing an HRIS / HRMS, but the benefits the organization derives from well defined and managed HR data and practices.

A typical HR Department can work more efficiently with the integration of systems and reduction of data redundancy afforded by an HR Software system. Having access to employee data and reports at your finger tips allows HR to concentrate on core disciplines such as Employee Training and Retention rather than data management.

HR Software can provide managers quick access to workforce information allowing them to make critical business decisions that are all to often required to survive in today's economy. Information on Salary, Skills, Attendance and Performance can help an organization ensure they are keeping the talent that will contribute to the success of the organization and weeding out Employees that are not contributing.

In these tough times, it may be difficult to sell management on the need for an HR System. The truth is, that it is the perfect time to make such a move so management can make the workforce decisions that need to be made by utilizing the data managed by the HR Software system.

The HR Data Manager is a full featured HRIS/HRMS system designed for small and medium sized businesses. Our typical customer has between 10 and 3000 employees. You can try a free 30 day trial of the HR Data Manager software by going to www.hrdatamanager.com and clicking the Try it Free button.

Introducing the HR Data Manger 4.0

2010-01-14T10:42:00.000-08:00

The newest version of the HR Data Manager is currently in user testing and is very close to release. We are looking for people who would like to be the first to give the new software a try and are offering a 20% discount on the Full Source Edition of the software for participation. Contact support@hrdatamanager.com prior to 1/31/2009 if you are interested.

Version 4.0 includes a number of feature enhancements to the HRIS portion of the software. Additionally, Customer Data (CRM) and Project data have been added in an attempt to make this a more valuable tool for small & medium sized businesses.

HRIS Return on Investment

2009-12-04T08:01:00.000-08:00

ROI can be a difficult thing to show when it comes to HR software. How do you quantify improving efficiency and more easily preventing costly fines related to compliance issues.

HRIS/HRMS helps HR staff to organize data and work more efficiently and frees their time to concentrate on more strategic tasks. Having the data easily accessible through the program and a number of standard reports helps HR to better serve employees and reduce turn over. On the same note, HR software can help HR to identify personnel problems and take corrective action early on.

Business Managers often see things only in terms of the bottom line and ROI. HR Managers need to take a look outside the box when trying to justify an HR software system. One way to do this is to document current manual processes and the time required to manage these processes. The time saved by implementing an HRIS can then be used to determine the savings in dollars. Historic and potential cases of compliance violations can be used to show how having the data organized in the HR software can help shield the organization from fines and lawsuits.

The justification for HRIS/HRMS systems is there, it is just a matter of presenting it in terms Business Managers will understand.

Human Resources Needs HRIS - HRMS

2009-11-04T15:50:00.000-08:00

Human Resources plays a critical role in any workplace and has a whole lot more to keep track of than most Non-HR folks could imagine. HR is there from the start when recruiting efforts are being made to fill positions throughout the workplace and assisting departmental managers in choosing qualified candidates. HR manages the hiring of staff, ensuring that legal compliance issues are being adhered to, benefits are started and assisting the new staff member in becoming part of the organizational family. Many HR departments are intimately involved with tracking staff training and certifications. Inevitably Leave & Attendance issues also fall onto HR shoulders. HR is there when there is a need to handle disciplinary issues or grievances in a discreet and professional manner as well. To put it shortly, HR is involved in nearly every facet of an Employee's life within the workplace.

With so much information to manage and keep track of, what HR Department couldn't use an HRIS (Human Resources Information System)? The role of HRIS in HR is to securely manage HR data and streamline HR processes making it easier to retrieve data and generate required reports. Many smaller businesses find themselves managing employee data in Excel spreadsheets. This becomes inadequate very quickly when trying to manage different related information such as job/compensation history, training management, benefits elections etc.

Having been written in Microsoft Office Access 2007, the HR Data Manager software was designed to meet the data tracking and reporting needs of HR Departments both large and small. With full source code available, the software is fully customizable and either your programmers or ours can make it do exactly what you need it to do.

Take the first step to better tracking of HR Data today by downloading the Free 30 Day trial of the HR Data Manager from www.hrdatamanager.com.

Tough Times Call for Smart Solutions

2009-07-02T06:43:00.001-07:00

In a previous post from last year I had mentioned a Manager that I once worked for that insisted that everything implemented be expensive Enterprise level solutions... even if only four people were ever going to use the software.

Times have changed. Mid to large sized companies are now looking for smart solutions that will not break their limited budgets. Enterprise HR systems like SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft (Oracle) can be extremely expensive to purchase and have high costs associated with keeping them going. Developing an HR Solution in house is also very costly and time consuming.

Many are looking for the best of both worlds when it comes to in house development by purchasing a Fully Customizable HRIS / HRMS software system that they can modify and build upon.

The HR Data Manager (http://www.hrdatamanager.com/) software's Full Source Edition comes with all source code and files. Written in Microsoft Access with the programming in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the software is perfect for Small Businesses wanting to use it on a single workstation. At the same time, with its full compatibility with Microsoft SQL Server as a backend data source, it is scaleable and perfect for large organizations as well. Best of all it can be tweaked to meet your unique needs either by the programmers at HR Data Manager or your own programmers or in house MS Access power user. Did I mention that it costs under a thousand dollars?

The HR Data Manager includes Applicant Tracking, Employee Records, Performance Appraisal Management, Training Records, Benefit Management, Job Descriptions and much more.

Why Buy Access 2007 - Revisited

2009-05-11T06:43:00.000-07:00

I know we have covered the subject of why it is beneficial to buy Microsoft Access 2007 instead of using the runtime version before, but there is good reason to bring it up again.

One of the great features in the new 3.15 version of the HR Data Manager is the Ad-Hoc Pivot Table reports. The runtime (Free) version of Microsoft Access does not have all the menu options and right mouse click menu that the purchased version has. Users of the runtime version of Access can still use the Pivot Table reports, but at a much less powerful level.

With the purchased version of Microsoft Access, users can show/hide detail which is great for seeing just counts, sums, averages etc. without the detailed information. They also have nearly unlimited control over how to manipulate the view of the data.

While the HR Data Manager software does not require the purchased version of Microsoft Access 2007, the user experience is much richer and more powerful with it.

Thank you - HR Data Manager Development Team

Microsoft Access 2007

2009-04-09T08:09:00.001-07:00

Why should you go out and buy Microsoft Access 2007 when using the HR Data Manager software when the software comes with the Runtime?

While the HR Data Manager comes with and can be run with the Microsoft Access 2007 runtime version, the user experience is much richer using the full version from Microsoft. The runtime version does not have "right click" menus or standard toolbars. Using the purchased version allows you to have access to field sorting options, filtering options and much more. Using the purchased version of Microsoft Access also gives you direct access to tables and queries within the application.

If using the Full Source Edition of the HR Data Manager, the only way to make modifications is with the purchased version of Microsoft Access 2007.

Though it is not required, purchasing Access is highly recommended.

Tracking HRIS Data in Excel

2009-02-18T09:56:00.001-08:00

In these tough economic times, I am seeing more and more information posted on the web about tracking HR Data in Excel. Is this a good idea?

The short answer is - NO. While Excel is great for manipulating and rearranging data, it is not good at handling complex relational data.

What's That? Complex Relational Data. As an example, One employee may have had a history of many positions within an organization. One employee may have many entries related to leave and attendance. One employee may have many entries related to benefits. The list goes on and on. Tracking this in Excel without duplicating data and increasing your chances for error is a nightmare.

If you are a small or medium business and large solutions such as PeopleSoft and SAP are not in your budget, you can look to more appropriate tools than Microsoft Excel.

Microsoft Access is a relational database system capable of managing complex data and sharing within small workgroups. To see an HRIS created with Microsoft Access, see http://www.hrdatamanager.com/. Full Source Code is available allowing you to expand upon what is there and create what you want.

Good Luck with your HRIS searches and just remember to use the right tool for the right job.

Tough Times Not Time To Cut Some Corners

2009-02-08T21:16:00.000-08:00

Well, I guess we are a little over due for a post looking at Frosty in the post below.

Near the end of the year common folk throughout the country were shocked by events that our leaders should have seen coming through at least the last two Presidents.

In these tough times, businesses small and large are seeking ways to cut corners. Owners, Managers and CEO's must be careful to ensure they are cutting fat and not muscle. While it is great to look for ways to operate more efficiently and save money, some corners should not be cut.

Regardless of the economy, a good HRIS system will help businesses more efficiently track data and ensure government compliance while avoiding costly fines from the government for being found out of compliance.

Small and Medium sized organizations can help ensure they are compliant with government rules by using the HR Data Manager (http://www.hrdatamanager.com/) HRIS system designed specifically for small and medium business. Available for between $599.95 and $999.95 for a five user network license, businesses can be be efficient and compliant for a fraction of the cost associated with government fines or costly employee lawsuits.

Some food for thought as we endure a difficult 2009!
