Shopping for software takes time, intense effort, and the equivalent of a master\u2019s degree in research. It\u2019s like chasing a unicorn\u2014that magical, mythical creature that probably doesn\u2019t exist, but\u2014wow, it sure would be awesome if it did.<\/p>\n<p>The ideal HR software platform will help your HR personnel get more done in less time with fewer staff members, while also boosting engagement and morale among your workforce. If you can find a solution that increases productivity and boosts your bottom line, all that research and time is worth it. But is HR tech like that really out there? Will it really do everything it says it can do? And if it will, can you afford to buy it?<\/p>\n<p>Yes it is, yes it will, and yes you can. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<h2>Assess Your Challenges<\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to know what problems your HR department needs to solve. Don\u2019t get enamored by the latest trend only to\u00a0end up purchasing a system that exceeds your needs\u2014and your budget. Ask questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What friction points have we encountered in our processes?<\/li>\n<li>What new capabilities do we need?<\/li>\n<li>Which business needs are most pressing?<\/li>\n<li>Which current processes must be preserved in the new software?<\/li>\n<li>Which employees will be affected by the change?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gather detailed information during this stage so you\u2019ll know what the new software must bring to the table. As you evaluate systems, you\u2019ll be able to check items off and begin to\u00a0narrow down your short list.<\/p>\n<h2>Know Your Options<\/h2>\n<p>The next step is to assess the capabilities offered by each vendor. What features are working for you and which ones need an overhaul? Work through each software module to determine which platform most closely matches your needs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Payroll: <\/strong>Do you need new payroll software or do you want to keep your current payroll solution?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employee Engagement: <\/strong>What employee engagement services do you value most? Do you like your current self-service portal or do you want to add new capabilities like communities or a scheduling calendar?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benefits: <\/strong>Do you need deeper benefits capabilities? How straightforward is your benefits enrollment process?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recruiting: <\/strong>What services do you need from an ATS? Do you want better branding for your candidate process? Do you want to store candidate information for future reference? How does your onboarding process function?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time\/Attendance: <\/strong>Do you need geotracking capabilities for remote clock-ins? Do you have employees with work-from-home arrangements? Do you want a scheduling calendar your employees can access themselves? Do you have employees in different time zones?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learning Management: <\/strong>What training opportunities do you offer your employees? How do you set and track goals or required training courses? How do your employees access training materials?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reporting: <\/strong>Do you need position control or custom reporting options? Can you customize the standard reports in the system? Can you create new reports efficiently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Meet Your Vendor<\/h2>\n<p>The final step is deciding which vendors match your needs well enough to warrant a demo and a quote. During the software demo, you\u2019ll have time to ask questions, see examples, and find out exactly how that new employee engagement tool <em>really<\/em> works. When you get your quote, look carefully at what services the implementation process includes, how the pricing is calculated, and what additional charges you should expect.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to catch a unicorn, you have to study it carefully. Buying HR tech that can deliver the results you want demands that same careful analysis and knowledge of your quarry.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that we\u2019ve made the research process easy for you. When you\u2019re ready to start comparing vendors, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehris.com\/hris-hrms-survey\/\">HRIS comparison\u00a0tool<\/a> will do the most labor-intensive part of the research for you.
