2. How to increase productivity at every level of your organisation when you need to reduce overheads? 
3. How to become an employer of choice by creating an engaged employee experience? 
4. How to maintain compliance requirements while reducing your risk of non-compliance? 

Optimise Your Labour

Transitioning manual workflows to cloud-based workforce management systems decreases errors, reduces administrative burdens and ensures better control over payroll processes. Cloud-based labour data offers actionable insights to find operational inefficiencies and optimise labour. These solutions also accurately assign labour hours to budgets or cost centres to uncover opportunities for cost savings. 

• Move manual, paper-driven processes to the cloud to reduce errors and control payroll leakage 
• Harness cloud-based workforce management solutions to offer actionable insights to inefficiencies  
• Ensure full visibility of labour spend and accurately assign labour hours to budgets or costs centres  

Increase Productivity

Streamline operations by automating time-consuming manual tasks like timesheet processing through cloud-based solutions. Utilise real-time data capture for precise gross hours and pay calculation, leading to more efficient payroll processing. Empower managers with automation tools to focus on critical tasks and boost overall productivity. 

• End inefficient and error-prone manual processing of timesheets through automation using workforce management software 
• Use cloud-based time capture and real-time automated calculations for more streamlined payroll processing 
• Help managers be more productive with higher levels of automation which helps them prioritise critical actions 

Improve Employee Experience

Improve employee experience using workforce management software that makes it easy for employees to access information through mobile-friendly platforms, enhancing convenience and accessibility for staff. Allow employees to manage their rosters, pay, vacations and leaves from anywhere at any time, promoting autonomy and satisfaction. Streamline processes to reduce administrative burdens on managers and team members, fostering a more efficient work environment. 

• Provide cloud-based and mobile-friendly access to employee information to make it easier and more convenient for employees to use 
• Enable and empower employees to self-manage their rosters, pay, vacation, leave, etc. from anywhere at any time 
• Remove manual and burdensome processes which cause an overload of administrative work for managers and team members 

Ensure Compliance

Mitigate compliance risks using cloud-based workforce management solutions by monitoring and enforcing specific pay rates and regulations based on positions to avoid financial penalties or reputational harm. These solutions proactively find and address compliance issues related to payroll by confirming labour data in real time. Utilise templates and rules engines to adapt to new legislation and help improve compliance with evolving regulations. 

Embracing cloud-based workforce management solutions leads to digitised employee experiences, revolutionising modern workforce management. By harnessing these capabilities, organisations can empower their workforce, driving organisational transformation and maximising their potential. 

• Manage distinct pay rates and rules by position and location  
• Validate labour data in real-time to catch potential compliance issues related to payroll  
• Support new legislation and changing laws by using built-in templates, parameters and rules engines
