Top Business Issues

In it for the long haul

Evaluation Centre's overview of the HR software and payroll software market

...The HR department has undergone many changes in recent years and the signs are that this will continue apace. Structural changes that were once the preserve of large and leading-edge organisations are now filtering down to companies of all sizes, with the aim of increasing the value that HR brings to the business.

This evolution is reflected in our latest Evaluation Centre research which shows that 58% of HR departments have undergone a significant change in their organisational structure in the past two years.

The main factor contributing to this transformation is the need for HR to become a more strategic contributor to the business, mentioned by 45% of respondents. This reflects the fact that HR is looking to spend less time on administrative or transactional activities and focus more on the business requirements.

Other key reasons given are the need to reduce costs (42%), particularly pertinent in today’s climate; and repositioning the HR function to fit more effectively within the wider organisation (42%).

With this change of focus comes the demand for IT systems that are adaptable enough to provide the information required; for that information to be accurate; and for the ability to support the new ways of working.
