Frequently asked questions

What is Human Resource Management (HRM)?

HRM stands for Human Resource Management.An HRM system allows you to store important employee information and documents in one centralized platform. This makes it easier to manage practical tasks such as recruitment and onboarding of new employees.

What does an HRM system do?

The purpose of an HRM system is to streamline information flow and automate routine tasks. This includes everything from employment contracts to reminders for employee evaluations. By storing all employee data in one place, you save time and avoid searching for critical documents. An HRM system also ensures that both personal and company information is stored securely and in compliance with GDPR regulations.

Why use an HRM system?

There are many reasons to use an HRM system—here are some key benefits:

More efficient administration – Keeping employee records updated, managing performance reviews, and tracking certifications and training can be time-consuming. Data and processes scattered across multiple systems typically result in double work and a lack of control. An HRM system automates repetitive tasks, saving valuable time.
All employee data in one place– Every employee generates a large amount of data, which must always remain up to date. Even in small businesses, manually tracking this data can be overwhelming. An HRM system simplifies this process by providing a digital employee folder, where all records and documentation can be stored and managed in one location.
Better data security – Storing sensitive employee information in Excel spreadsheets, physical binders, or email inboxes is a major security risk. An HRM system ensures that sensitive data remains protected, reducing the risk of data breaches while ensuring GDPR compliance.

What makes a great HR system?

A great HR system is user-friendly, making employee information easily accessible. The system should also simplify tasks related to sick leave management, onboarding new employees, and employee evaluations. Additionally, it's beneficial to choose an HR system that makes digital handbooks, such as an Employee Handbook, easily accessible to employees. Digital handbooks make important policies, procedures, and company regulations easily available to employees.

How can an HRM system improve business performance?

An HRM system manages everything from employee records to strategic workforce development, providing valuable support for both employees and leadership. It ensures that all necessary processes are completed according to both company needs and legal requirements, creating a more structured and compliant work environment. This allows businesses to focus more on value-adding activities, improving both efficiency and growth.
