BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - October 6, 2009) -
Core HR Systems: Flawless Execution Enabling
Strategic HR Management, a recent study by
Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company
(
NYSE:
HHS), reveals that the state of the economy is driving organizations
to invest in core HR systems to manage costs, ensure compliance, and allow
HR personnel to be more strategic. Analysis showed that the use of
technology and the integration of workforce management systems with payroll
and other core HR elements yields substantial gains. Standardizing HR
processes, working with the business units on establishing performance
criteria, and regularly monitoring the effectiveness of these functions are
elemental in reducing the burden on HR personnel, improving employee
satisfaction with HR services, and decreasing the cost of HR
administration.
Aberdeen's report provides more detail about how top performing
organizations strategically support the core HR function in order to
decrease payroll error rates to below 0.5% and reduce the number of manual
HR transactions by 11%.
"Organizations should plan on taking core HR from the world of tactical
administration to the realm of strategic management. Harnessing this data
for financial planning and budgeting especially as part of a business
management system will lead to better workforce deployment and more optimal
payrolls," said Jayson Saba, Senior Research Associate with Aberdeen's
Human Capital Management practice. "Aberdeen found that standardizing
procedures and continuously reviewing the effectiveness of core HR
functions are critical to success."
By identifying the proven steps adopted by top organizations,
Core HR Systems: Flawless Execution Enabling
Strategic HR Management provides a guide for organizations seeking to
better manage core HR functions by balancing administrative and employee
satisfaction with HR services.
