Using technology to harness workforce assets*

Your workforce is one of your greatest assets, yet one of your biggest costs. Technology can be a powerful enabler, and your Human Capital Management Solution (HCMS) is the ideal tool to manage your workforce assets. It will also help you to leverage your workforce more effectively and ensure you are maximising their value.

Technology can assist Local Government in many ways to reduce the costs associated with managing people. Shared Services or Outsourcing for Payroll and Human Resources has become popular in this sector, as it represents an excellent way to share costs and resources. A flexible HR offering such as chris21 will support this type of service delivery.

Shrinking budgets are forcing HR and Payroll teams to do more with less. Functionally rich HRIS solutions enable savvy councils to achieve more without the need for additional resources. Some of the key areas where technology can accelerate processes are Recruitment, Performance Management, onboarding and of course learning and education. A more recent addition in the technology landscape is Mobile HR. This functionality provides tablet and smart phone users with anywhere, anytime access to HR information.

Frontier Software is Australia’s Number 1 HR, Payroll and Talent Management Software Supplier. Many councils are using our solution, chris21, to streamline processes, manage performance and ensure employees are paid on-time, every time. Frontier Software will be exhibiting at the 2011 National Local Government HR Conference.
