This document discusses three common HR challenges faced by small and mid-sized businesses: 1) Ineffective processes that can cause errors in employee data and payroll; 2) Lack of accessibility to employee information from anywhere at any time; 3) Using disparate systems that require duplicate data entry and importing/exporting between systems. It suggests that cloud-based human capital management platforms can help address these challenges by streamlining processes, improving accessibility through mobile apps, and integrating all HR functions into a single, scalable system.

compliance, applicant tracking and other functions are
crucial to its success.

Ineffective Processes
When your office is full of files and you’re constantly
looking for information in stacks of paperwork, the risk
of misplacing important items is HIGH.
When you bring on a new hire, does he or she spend

Accessibility
When employees have access to view and modify their
own information, this reduces the workload of the HR
team.
If an employee moves and needs
to change his or her address,
having self-service access to do
so simplifies the task and prevents
delays that could impact the
employee’s paycheck or other pertinent information.
It’s also useful to employ a system that gives employees
access to W-2s, benefits, and other needed info without
having to involve the HR or payroll departments.
This accessibility also benefits HR staff, managers, and
supervisors since they review information and manage
processes from anywhere at any time.

Having access is critical to employees, department
heads, HR specialists and other members of the
organization.
Cloud-based human capital management platforms
help make critical information accessible at any time
and from anywhere.
With the addition of mobile
apps, accessibility is no longer a
challenge but as easy as opening
the app on your phone or tablet
and downloading or changing the
information that you need.
