A good stress buster for HR & Payroll executives

Every HR department is usually stressed out at the end of a period. Leave statements to be finalized, attendance values to be tallied, payroll to be processed, benefits statements to be processed, statutory employee declarations, and numerous other aspects to be tied up.

So what are the usual stress busters? Choices are ..Automate it, outsource it or decentralize it.

* Automating it helps crunching numbers, but a lot of effort goes into avoiding the garbage in- garbage out syndrome.

* Outsource it - works well if you are willing to pay for it, and willing to work to give the data to the provider correctly.

* Decentralizing it by giving different HR executives responsibilities - works well if you have a lot of resources

Here is another way we recommend. Self service it. The employee enters the source data, the supervisor approves it and HR just reconciles the difficult issues if any. The self service HR application generates the rest of the statements automatically and delivers it to the employee. This by far is the most productive method with the least effort, highest output, greatest transparency and makes employees the happiest.

Easy choice? - well you still have to implement the right Self Service HR for your environment. At Kallos we are focusing on making KServe HCM the best among the available choices for employee self service. (www.KServe.net\hcm)
