Top Ten Questions

Top ten questions to ask a potential HRIS provider

1. How does your software enable access to information for employees and managers?

info:HR delivers accurate and timely information. Tasks are accomplished with action items and integrated alerts . Users can access necessary information easily on screens like our employee position history view, which presents key info on one screen. info:HR also supplies useful information with rich reports like our “Total Cost of Employment” calculation (finance will love this one!) and gap analysis, “what’s missing”, and skills gaps features.

2. How does your software automate my daily human resources tasks?

A. info:HR automates a broad range of HR tasks – from the simple to the complex. We: distribute cost allocations with our G/L Distribution feature that splits employee costs across multiple G/L accounts. Define your standard hiring checklist with the new hire procedure and the flags features (i.e. police checks, drug tests, confidentiality agreements). Attach external files into the right places in each employee’s online personnel file (i.e. performance reviews, resumes, offer letters, and education certificates). Define required courses to every position. Manage entitlement banks with our complete yet straight-forward approach that includes web-based employee self service capabilities.
