HR Technology: Important questions to ask your provider

What are the most common questions we receive from our prospects on our HR suite?

When choosing an HR provider, many questions come to mind. Except for the obvious “How does this tool support managers and employees,” “Are there dashboards to base actions on,” and “Will this tool lower our workload,” you need to tick a few more boxes. Below you can find the five main questions we receive from our prospects on our HR suite.

5 common HR tech questions to help improve profits

1. Can the tool be branded according to my organization?

Many companies are heavily investing in their employer brand. Acquiring HR software that supports employees and managers is a big advantage, but so is having that software in your brand colors and logo. When your employees enter the platform, they will see one streamlined brand that they recognize and trust. This will increase the adoption of the tool.

2. Can you integrate HR tools with financial tools?

In the last years, HR has become more integrated with other business aspects to improve profits further. Therefore, your HR tool should integrate with other parts of your business, such as Finance. Our HCM suite integrates seamlessly with our ERP solution. Having an integrated solution with data about finance and employees will make your HR tool a must-have rather than a nice to have.

3. Does the tool provide real-time insights

A modern HCM tool enables leaders to gather real-time data on their employees. This data empowers managers with more evidence-based insights on performance and behaviors, which are vital for decision-making especially during appraisals or performance conversations. Don’t forget that a performance management tool’s heart is performance, not compliance, so data becomes strategically relevant to any business activity instead of a routinely once-in-a-year duty.

4. Is your HR technology available on mobile?

We are in a mobile-first world. There’s an app for almost everything, which means people also expect your HR software to have an app. Having an HR app maximizes not only employee experience but also utility. People can access your app wherever they are. They can plan and prepare one-on-one conversations, answer engagement pulses or give feedback regardless of where they are.

5. Is there a customer success team to support us?

Buying a tool is one thing but implementing it and having a team to support you in your journey is almost as important. At Unit4 HCM, we don’t just configure the tool but guide you from the moment you decide you will use the tool to your live date. We have done many implementations in organizations of different sizes. From big corporates to start-ups, from headquarters to local offices. This experience allows us to share insights and design the best suitable process for your organization. All successful implementations share one thing in common: a collaborative effort to combine our knowledge about the tool and HR with your specific knowledge on how your organization functions.
