Engaging your workforce

Another excellent reason to ensure you’re with a great HR provider – and not an average one – is your people.

If you’re struggling to attract and retain top talent – you’re not alone. Many businesses are struggling to attract the right candidates for their vacancies.

The standard of your HR software can affect your ability to attract and retain the best people.

Here are three things that may occur off the back of bad HR software.

According to the CIPD, 57% of employers have hard-to-fill vacancies, and 29% anticipate significant problems in filling hard-to-fill vacancies over the next few months.

51% of Gen-Z employees would quit their job due to poor technology.

1. A bad employee experience

Completing timesheets, checking leave balances, updating personal details. People expect to be able to do this stuff anywhere, on any device.

How your employees interact with their details and do their HR tasks should be quick and easy. If it’s archaic and slow, they will think you don’t care about this stuff, and this will absolutely affect your employer brand.

In a nutshell, all of this is the difference between a great retention rate and a bad one. Plus, it has a knock-on effect on your need and ability to recruit.

2. Poor employer brand

Not reaching the right candidates? Or maybe you aren’t showcasing the best bits of what you have to offer?

Good candidates get snapped up quickly. A well-constructed and slick recruitment process will wow candidates. While a proper candidate portal will have them seeing your value and aligning with your company vision!

3. Inflexible pay packages

Our Engaged Employer study found that 87% of employees are looking for more than just a salary – they want flexible and financial benefits.

Working hard to retain top talent? Offering great benefits might keep them from the temptation of joining other companies.

Still settling for poor employee experience?

Engaged and happy workforce right this way!
