HR Software Unlock the potential of your people

Brokers / 12th February

We previously posted an article on recruitment techniques following discussions with our brokers. As part of those conversations, it was evident that managing HR procedures and motivating staff were areas where brokers needed more support. With this in mind, we’ve reviewed the latest tools and services that are available to help brokers manage and motivate their staff more effectively.  

American businessman Steve Wynn summed up the importance of HR very simply:

The value of technology

We are big believers in making the complex matter of modern work as simple and as efficient as possible. We know from our own experience that a little investment in the intelligent application of technology can greatly reduce the time taken by manual tasks. EPICC, our own technology platform, simplifies the administration and compliance of insurance sales (you can read more below).

The right
can help small businesses by reducing the manual work in administration, record-keeping and compliance.  In the past, this type of software was costly and hard to install, but many solutions are now moving to the cloud and can be installed easily.  Here, we offer an overview of the latest HR technology and how it might help your business.

Zenefits

Goodbye admin overload - hello HR apps! That’s how Zenefits sells itself. The main function of the Zenefits platform is HR management and benefits administration, but it also provides payroll time tracking and is backed up by a mobile app. What’s even better is that the basic package is free and offers additional upgrades as you grow, which means you can try before you buy.

Employees can save hundreds of pounds a year on groceries and other daily essentials. This enables you to offer your staff a whole range of customisable perks.
