By Greg Belkin, Director of Product Marketing As consumers, we have a lot of flexibility and choice in how we shop and what we buy. That gives us power to have high expectations when interacting with retailers, healthcare providers, or any other type of organization we want to interact with to make a purchase. The employee experience is no different from any of these consumer experiences. Just as buyers have shopping choices, employees have choices about the employers they join, how long they choose to stay with them etc. Creating a seamless experience from onboarding to training to compensation management is going to be the difference in how satisfied an employee will be. This will, in turn, determine productivity, length of stay at the company, and may contribute to a more positive company culture. One key tactic that savvy organizations are using is to bring together different sources of HR data for actionable insights and increased efficiencies. This includes Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) or Human Capital Management (HCM) systems that are used across the employee lifecycle, such as recruitment management, asset provisioning, expense management, and talent management systems. Here, we will look at what is HRMS data integration, common use cases, and how HR data management and integration help improve employee engagement. HR Management is the process in which candidates and employees are managed by their prospective or current employers, from the moment that recruitment begins to their last day on the job. This management is usually not centered around specific job requirements, but rather includes onboarding, growth and development, compensation management, corporate communications, and IT service management. As the process unfolds, multiple sources of data are created, oftentimes leading to data silos. As a result, information regarding employee performance, for example, is not properly connected with compensation and thereby employee productivity and morale takes a hit. Both employer and employee must take time away from their regular responsibilities to address and normalize this data. . The global pandemic has also caused new challenges managing employee data. Increased reliance on a remote workforce, new communications tools, and fluctuating budgets have all contributed to a suboptimal employee experience. And the reality is that not only are the HR systems disconnected, but also the number of systems are only growing as businesses are looking to create a 360-degree view of their employees and contractors. At a very high level, the integration of systems used across HR and the employee experience creates a number of potential benefits for both the employee and the employer. These include: Jitterbit strongly believes in a consumer-oriented HRM experience. We believe that integrating different sources of employee data strengthens both the employee and the employer relationship by streamlining how the employee can access their personal data. We call this the Employee 360 approach, the heart of which revolves around four basic pillars: With these above-mentioned four basics in place, Jitterbit opens up opportunities for organizations to streamline their HR-related processes. Some examples include: This blog offers a broad view of the benefits organizations can realize when deploying an Employee 360 integration approach to their HRM management. In the upcoming blogs, we will take a deeper dive into what it all means from the HR management perspective, as well as how it specifically impacts the employee journey.
