The HR Department of Today
Posted by ryan.alford in Uncategorized on April 1, 2010
The archetypal human resources department is strictly focused on one core function: personnel relations (hiring, firing, etc.).
But it’s not that simple. A successful, thriving HR division is at the center of a company’s success. Nonetheless, managing HR through JD Edwards can be a complicated equation that’s sometimes difficult to solve.
On a day-to-day basis, HR and payroll departments answer numerous questions regarding employee history. They are searching for information regarding benefits, earnings, deductions, taxes and paid-time-off. A majority of these questions come from employees, managers and third-party providers. HR and payroll users need an efficient way to access and analyze the data they need to answer all these requests.
HR is highly regarded as the department that creates strategies, policies, standards, systems, and processes within most organizations, big and small. Specifically, HR might manage the policies associated with training and development. This is beyond what HR would usually maintain, such as recruitment, resourcing, employee relations, performance, conduct, compensation, rewards, benefits, and more.
According to the Aberdeen Group, the “best-in-class organizations with HCM reporting and analytic solutions in place achieved an 11% year-over-year improvement in profits and a 6% improvement in revenue per employee.”
