Using a paper-based system to manage Human Resource functions can cripple the efficiency of your business. Not only is managing by paper inefficient, but it is also prone to human error, paper cuts, and will inevitably cost you both time and money. 

By using cutting edge HR technology to manage your employees’ paychecks, benefits, PTO, training and more, you can better manage your talent, increase your productivity and efficiency, and cut costs.

But what exactly is HR technology, and why should you trust a computer to handle your human resources? We’re here to answer those questions for you.

1. What is HR technology?

 HR technology is essentially, the software that works with your team to streamline your HR functions and processes. Rather than eliminating HR functions or personnel, this software automates your current processes and frees up time for your team to focus on more strategic areas of the business.

2. Why should I trust technology to handle human resources?

Technology doesn’t have to be scary. Again, this software is not meant to replace your current HR team. Instead, it’s meant to work with your team. Before you dive into any new technology, you should have a knowledgeable and experienced consultant who can help make sure your HR software will accommodate your business processes, rather than force you to rework your business processes to accommodate the software.

That’s where a company like Delta Administrative Services comes in. Delta will take the time to understand the intricate details of your business to ensure that your software is set up and specifically tailored to meet your unique goals. 

Don’t worry. You won’t be left to figure out this new software by yourself. We will walk with you every step of the way, thoroughly training your team on how to use the platform. We also provide real-time, on-call support to help you with any questions that you may have, troubleshoot any unique issues, and offer solutions that ensure you’re always running at peak efficiency. 

Our team will make sure your employee information stays up-to-date on the new platform, making it easy to add new team members and keep track of everyone.

3. What all can it handle?

Our HR technology in particular offers an unmatched breadth of functionality. The software will allow you to:

• Check paychecks and tax withholdings
• Manage and review employee health insurance benefits, investment allocations in 401k, and retirement programs

5. What are the benefits of using this kind of technology?
