HR professionals in large corporations often struggle to keep track of HR processes across multiple units and countries. Different units in the group may have different HR policies, different payroll systems and collective agreements, leading to inconsistencies, misunderstandings and challenges in complying with both local and global HR requirements. It is also challenging to collect and analyze HR data in a consistent way across borders.
Many HR managers feel frustrated when things aren't standardized - there's chaos in communication between departments, and a lot of time is wasted on tedious manual tasks instead of important strategic work. When the roles of employees and managers overlap between different companies in the group, things can quickly get messy and misunderstood. In addition, it's a major challenge to keep control of who should have access to what, while at the same time complying with strict data protection rules in different countries. In short, without a proper HR system, stress and headaches can quickly arise.
Efficient and comprehensive HR system for the group
In today's market, it's crucial for a company to have an efficient and comprehensive HR system. You need to take this into account when deciding on an HR system at corporate level:
- Centralized control over the entire group
Ensure your HR system provides full visibility of all subsidiaries, with the ability to manage policies, reporting and access across the group from one platform.
- Scalability that grows with you
Choose a system that can be easily adapted as your company grows, with flexible solutions for adding new units and adjusting roles and rights as needed.
- Streamlining of processes
Automate time-consuming HR tasks such as onboarding, document management and reporting to reduce errors and free up time for strategic work.
- An overall employee experience
Give employees across the group a consistent experience with common HR tools and clear guidelines, while adapting the solution to local needs.
- Integrations
Ensure your HR system connects seamlessly to other business systems such as payroll, ERP and archiving, so data flows freely and efficiently throughout your organization.
