Sage HRMSIntroduction
As organizations look for more ways to increase productivity and profitability, human resources
departments are being asked to step up and provide more strategic input than ever before.
Additionally, HR must work to increase employee engagement and retain top performers.
In order to support executives and managers, HR needs to have the right tools in place
to improve access to timely, accurate information that helps produce informed business
decisions.
If you don’t have the right human resources management system (HRMS) solution, HR can
quickly become overwhelmed with just the day-to-day tasks—much less delivering insightful
business intelligence. Many organizations turn to an HRMS solution to help face the many
challenges, economic pressures, and tactical issues that arise every day.
If you are looking to implement an HRMS solution to increase control over employee data,
optimize productivity, and take employee engagement to the next level, make sure the
solution you choose provides functionality that supports:
1. 	 Security
	 Let’s face it—when it comes to your employees’ personal data, you have to take every 		
	 precaution to protect it. You need a system that you can rely on so that information is not 		
	 mishandled or misused. In fact, that feeling of security is one of the main reasons you 		
	 choose any software package—from email to online banking. You must be able to trust 		
	 that emails won’t go to the wrong people and that your neighbor can’t take money from 		
	 your account. When it comes to trust and protection, a solid HRMS solution isn’t any 		
	 different. If your HRMS does not have robust security features, should you really be using it?
	 Capturing personal information about the people in your organization is a sensitive role and 	
	 the repository needs multiple defenses, including encryption and dynamic, role-based 		
	 security. You need a system that puts HR in control of employee data so you can protect 		
	 against identity theft and safeguard benefits information to maintain trust and compliance 		
	 with laws such as HIPAA.
2. 	 Reliability
	 We live in a 24x7 world, and your HRMS needs to be available for use at all times. 		
	 Whether your HR staff needs to perform employee change requests after business hours, 	
	 or an employee needs a letter for his bank, you need an HRMS that you 			
	 can access anytime, anywhere. With employee self service (ESS) functionality, your 		
	 employees and their managers would be able to access many types of information on their 	
	 own, including time off, pay history, contact information, training, and more. ESS means 		
	 that employees and managers don’t need to wait for someone on the HR team to 		
	 help them with routine requests—and that’s welcome news for the HR staff, too!
	 Another aspect of HRMS reliability is the ability to meet your record-keeping requirements, 	
	 and quickly access that information to stay in compliance with workforce regulations. 		
	 You should rest assured knowing that your system can handle the complexity of 		
	 compliance and produce the records your organization would need to 				
	 satisfy a government inspector, or defend against an employee lawsuit. For the Fair Labor 	
	 Standards Act (FLSA), OSHA, HIPAA, harassment, and antidiscrimination laws, 			
	 your business must be on top of its HR responsibilities and confident of compliance. Since 	
	 HR laws change constantly, your success can only be achieved by knowing, 			
	 understanding, communicating, and documenting policies. It is imperative that you 		
	 can rely on your HRMS system to keep you up to date as well as communicate any 		
	 changes to managers and employees.
1
Sage HRMS3. 	 Single Employee Record
	 Does your organization need help linking business processes? Too often, organizations 		
	 struggle with inaccurate records because each department has its own system with its 		
	 own data entry point. With a centralized database, your HR software offers a single 		
	 source to payroll, administration, analysis, employee life-cycle management, and 		
	 other critical employee information. It results in highly accurate, reliable data that your entire 	
	 organization can count on.
	 Whether it is a single point of data entry or simply knowing that you are looking at the most 	
	 up-to-date position or salary for an employee, you need to make sure that your HRMS 		
	 enables you to confidently perform the right task on the right employee data. It results in 		
	 easier, more complete reporting and data analysis, which supports business decision-		
	 making and facilitates the best possible strategic planning for your workforce.
4. 	 Communication
	 There is no better way to ensure that things get done properly than through consistent 		
	 communication. Employees throughout your organization need to know company goals in 	
	 order to work toward them effectively. But how do you ensure accountability? Whether 		
	 your HRMS solution uses email alerts or paperless workflow online, a great HR system 		
	 notifies your employees, managers, HR and payroll staff when something needs attention.
	 With business monitoring and alerts, you can simplify HR processes by automatically 		
	 notifying managers when overtime hours exceed the budgetary threshold or of upcoming 	
	 employee certification renewal dates. Employee self-service capabilities can also help the 		
	 HR department to communicate more effectively with employees and managers by making 	
	 information easily available to them. In this way, your HRMS solution works for you 		
	 around the clock and proactively helps you avoid problems that may have previously 		
	 resulted in missed budget numbers, noncompliance risk, or confusion over time off or 		
	benefits.
	 In order to successfully provide decision support across your organization, your HR system 	
	 should help you deliver the right information to the right people for quick and timely action. 	
	 Reports must be easy to generate or create, and actionable information needs to be at 		
	 your fingertips.
5. 	 Return on Employee Investment (ROEI)
	 Secure, reliable, accurate information and more effective communication are keys to 		
	 effective HR management. But what effect does it have on HR productivity and employee 	
	 engagement? Many of today’s organizations are taking the time to evaluate the return on 		
	 employee investment (ROEI). ROEI means getting value for the money you spend on your 	
	 employees and employee management tools. Choosing the right solution for your 		
	 organization can be the difference between eliminating the drains on productivity and 		
	 actually gaining a competitive edge.
	 It’s important that organizations invest in their employees in order to increase employee 		
	 engagement and retain their best performing employees. The right HRMS solution 		
	 can help your organization achieve better ROEI by supporting the HR department while it 		
	 implements effective benefits and programs for recruiting and retention.
	 When you spend time, money, and other resources on a solid HRMS solution, does it 		
	 improve workflow and the lives of your employees? Your HRMS solution should help you 		
	 automate key business processes that affect your employees on a regular basis. Look to 		
	 give employees ownership of their personal information with employee self-service 		
	 capabilities, empower employees to make their own benefits elections, and get the tools 		
	 you need to manage an effective training and development program.

your organization’s quest for greater communication, productivity, and profitability? To deliver
the most value to your organization, your HRMS should provide: tight security, reliability, a
single employee record, good communication, and a solid ROEI. With the right HRMS, your HR
department can deliver insightful business intelligence and help your company overcome the many
workforce challenges and economic pressures faced every day.

  • 3. Sage HRMSIntroduction As organizations look for more ways to increase productivity and profitability, human resources departments are being asked to step up and provide more strategic input than ever before. Additionally, HR must work to increase employee engagement and retain top performers. In order to support executives and managers, HR needs to have the right tools in place to improve access to timely, accurate information that helps produce informed business decisions. If you don’t have the right human resources management system (HRMS) solution, HR can quickly become overwhelmed with just the day-to-day tasks—much less delivering insightful business intelligence. Many organizations turn to an HRMS solution to help face the many challenges, economic pressures, and tactical issues that arise every day. If you are looking to implement an HRMS solution to increase control over employee data, optimize productivity, and take employee engagement to the next level, make sure the solution you choose provides functionality that supports: 1. Security Let’s face it—when it comes to your employees’ personal data, you have to take every precaution to protect it. You need a system that you can rely on so that information is not mishandled or misused. In fact, that feeling of security is one of the main reasons you choose any software package—from email to online banking. You must be able to trust that emails won’t go to the wrong people and that your neighbor can’t take money from your account. When it comes to trust and protection, a solid HRMS solution isn’t any different. If your HRMS does not have robust security features, should you really be using it? Capturing personal information about the people in your organization is a sensitive role and the repository needs multiple defenses, including encryption and dynamic, role-based security. You need a system that puts HR in control of employee data so you can protect against identity theft and safeguard benefits information to maintain trust and compliance with laws such as HIPAA. 2. Reliability We live in a 24x7 world, and your HRMS needs to be available for use at all times. Whether your HR staff needs to perform employee change requests after business hours, or an employee needs a letter for his bank, you need an HRMS that you can access anytime, anywhere. With employee self service (ESS) functionality, your employees and their managers would be able to access many types of information on their own, including time off, pay history, contact information, training, and more. ESS means that employees and managers don’t need to wait for someone on the HR team to help them with routine requests—and that’s welcome news for the HR staff, too! Another aspect of HRMS reliability is the ability to meet your record-keeping requirements, and quickly access that information to stay in compliance with workforce regulations. You should rest assured knowing that your system can handle the complexity of compliance and produce the records your organization would need to satisfy a government inspector, or defend against an employee lawsuit. For the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), OSHA, HIPAA, harassment, and antidiscrimination laws, your business must be on top of its HR responsibilities and confident of compliance. Since HR laws change constantly, your success can only be achieved by knowing, understanding, communicating, and documenting policies. It is imperative that you can rely on your HRMS system to keep you up to date as well as communicate any changes to managers and employees. 1
  • 4. Sage HRMS3. Single Employee Record Does your organization need help linking business processes? Too often, organizations struggle with inaccurate records because each department has its own system with its own data entry point. With a centralized database, your HR software offers a single source to payroll, administration, analysis, employee life-cycle management, and other critical employee information. It results in highly accurate, reliable data that your entire organization can count on. Whether it is a single point of data entry or simply knowing that you are looking at the most up-to-date position or salary for an employee, you need to make sure that your HRMS enables you to confidently perform the right task on the right employee data. It results in easier, more complete reporting and data analysis, which supports business decision- making and facilitates the best possible strategic planning for your workforce. 4. Communication There is no better way to ensure that things get done properly than through consistent communication. Employees throughout your organization need to know company goals in order to work toward them effectively. But how do you ensure accountability? Whether your HRMS solution uses email alerts or paperless workflow online, a great HR system notifies your employees, managers, HR and payroll staff when something needs attention. With business monitoring and alerts, you can simplify HR processes by automatically notifying managers when overtime hours exceed the budgetary threshold or of upcoming employee certification renewal dates. Employee self-service capabilities can also help the HR department to communicate more effectively with employees and managers by making information easily available to them. In this way, your HRMS solution works for you around the clock and proactively helps you avoid problems that may have previously resulted in missed budget numbers, noncompliance risk, or confusion over time off or benefits. In order to successfully provide decision support across your organization, your HR system should help you deliver the right information to the right people for quick and timely action. Reports must be easy to generate or create, and actionable information needs to be at your fingertips. 5. Return on Employee Investment (ROEI) Secure, reliable, accurate information and more effective communication are keys to effective HR management. But what effect does it have on HR productivity and employee engagement? Many of today’s organizations are taking the time to evaluate the return on employee investment (ROEI). ROEI means getting value for the money you spend on your employees and employee management tools. Choosing the right solution for your organization can be the difference between eliminating the drains on productivity and actually gaining a competitive edge. It’s important that organizations invest in their employees in order to increase employee engagement and retain their best performing employees. The right HRMS solution can help your organization achieve better ROEI by supporting the HR department while it implements effective benefits and programs for recruiting and retention. When you spend time, money, and other resources on a solid HRMS solution, does it improve workflow and the lives of your employees? Your HRMS solution should help you automate key business processes that affect your employees on a regular basis. Look to give employees ownership of their personal information with employee self-service capabilities, empower employees to make their own benefits elections, and get the tools you need to manage an effective training and development program. 2
  • 5. Sage HRMSSummary Many of today’s companies utilize HRMS solutions to help them take control of HR data and automate key processes. Does your HR department have the tools needed to effectively support your organization’s quest for greater communication, productivity, and profitability? To deliver the most value to your organization, your HRMS should provide: tight security, reliability, a single employee record, good communication, and a solid ROEI. With the right HRMS, your HR department can deliver insightful business intelligence and help your company overcome the many workforce challenges and economic pressures faced every day. 3
