To every setback a human has faced due to some or the other problem, there has been technology to push him forward and let the being move past the problem. As they quote it, “Need is the mother of invention.”, whether it is some kitchen appliance or a tool to mark attendance, technology has never disappointed.

With a pursuit to make our lives easier, tech giants are always coming up with something or the other. However, it has always been us who haven’t really welcomed any technology advancement with open arms.

Exactly such is the case with HR management software. There are ample HRMS software in the market, however, only 40% of the 300+ companies surveyed by PwC were using software to manage their HR operations. Perhaps, there will be a few of these companies that would be using the software to the best of their advantage.

Infact, the HR analytics are not even properly integrated with the financial tools and aren’t really used in the business strategy. Barely a percent of software users are using the HR analytics. What’s worse is that the HR decision-makers are not just slow to adopt the software but are also failing to understand the true potential of the HRMS software.

All of this brings everything to a single question- WHY? While all the business owners may have different answers to this why. Here is what you all must know.

Your business needs an HR management software badly!

With an increasing number of millennials, the HR concerns are also increasing. Without it, there are many things that get on the nerves of HR managers without a hint. High attrition rate, or a high time to hire and many more become a pain in the neck of the HRs. An HR management software keeps the figures ready and warns you well-off in advance. The HR manager can then take control of the situation and work towards improving it before it goes out of hand and starts impacting the money matters of the organisation majorly.

Being sceptical isn’t good for your business

There is no denial to the fact that the millennials are way more technology loving than other generations. And because of this very fact, most of the HR managers are reluctant in using an HRMS software. They are so accustomed to doing their HR chores the usual way that they take anything against it as a threat. In reality, the only thing required is patience and acceptance. If the HR would just take a plunge of faith and try using the software, they will realise how user-friendly the software is. Moreover, they will also realise the amount of time it would save.

Don’t lag behind due to a not-so-good HR software

An HR may take cues from a known company or HR friend who have bought a software that just isn’t what it promised to be. However, this is a mere excuse. This shouldn’t be a reason for any organisation to lag behind its peers. See the other side of the coin, the company may not be able to use the software correctly because the HR is technologically impaired. Hence, one must educate himself before making any investment.

So, invest in an HRMS software but only after weighing the pros and cons of every software. Any organisation’s HR department will become agile in true sense that way.
