How can the right software make your job as an HR professional easier?

Advertisements

 

Employer management presents difficulties for businesses of all sizes. Fortunately, you can manage all aspects of your HR strategy, from talent acquisition to performance management, with the use of HR management software.

 

There are various advantages to HR software that might boost efficiency. Since most of these solutions like applicant tracking system (ATS) are cloud-based, accessing and storing employee data is a breeze.

 

Here are some methods by which HR software can make your life easier.

 

  • Accessibility 

 

Spreadsheets provide a lot of advantages for busy human resource professionals, but they also have a lot of disadvantages. Spreadsheets make managing information straightforward, but they may be difficult to read and understand. 

 

Spreadsheets’ shortcomings are lessened while their advantages are increased, and data and information are more easily accessible thanks to HR software. 

 

Spreadsheets can become unmanageable when more data is added to them. HR software in  US gives you the ability to swiftly browse and retrieve data as required to save time. 

 

  • Efficiency 

 

Large-scale staff development requires rigorous employee involvement and monitoring utilising data that has been saved. The loss of crucial employee engagement data is one issue that paper-based HR systems might have, which can be avoided with improved management tools. 

 

Important elements like paid time off, pay stub information, and résumé specifications are simple for administrators to keep track of.

 

By maintaining employee engagement data in a safe and convenient place, HR software helps you to boost efficiency across all HR duties. Additionally, it makes employee self-service more accessible and increases knowledge of the procedure, employee records, and task distribution.

 

  • Communication

 

HR software provides thorough data on each employee record to encourage increased communication. HR software, as opposed to paper-based systems, reduces the requirement for additional time spent looking for a single employee file, simplifying the usage of employee information.

 

HR software may assist other company divisions’ communication initiatives to enhance cooperation. As employees from various departments can easily collaborate on projects, workflow is improved.

 

Communication with employees is made simpler by HR software so you may reach out to them for HR-related information or use their contact information to send important notes, emails, and reminders. 

 

  • Risk Reduction 

 

HR software reduces risks like lawsuits and possible miscommunications. By checking the read receipts offered by many HR software programmes, you may determine if an employee has viewed your emails. 

 

Additionally, evaluations and write-ups can help you preserve employee experience. This helps to safeguard your business from future legal action and ensures that a discharged employee gets the necessary documents. 

 

  • Better Storage & Security 

 

In the case of a data breach or cybercrime, you don’t want information about your personnel to be made public. All papers, including employee credit checks, will be protected by the scheme. 

 

HR software improves your overall IT security by securing your staff in the case of a data breach. Additionally, you can safeguard all of your information from fire and flooding by switching from a paper-based process to cloud HR software.

 

  • Analytics

 

HR is much more than just the recruiting and onboarding process; it’s about finding ways to engage with employees and improve retention rates. Making better judgements or improving workflow or interactions with your workforce won’t always follow from having more knowledge about your personnel. However, it might give you insightful advice on how to move forward.

HR software may examine data to create insights, including projections and recommendations. Using personnel data, you can choose which person to involve in which tasks based on their skill sets and capacities.

 

  • A better onboarding and development process 

 

HR software supports employee professional development and organisation onboarding, which encourages employee engagement and motivation. Using HR software, HR departments can identify the training needs of employees and set up better on-site training.

 

  • cost reduction 

 

Using HR software with mobile recruiting capabilities, you can combine payroll management, talent management, and benefits management to help you save money. With the help of HR management solutions, you may reduce costs without sacrificing the effectiveness of your personnel management. 

 

For instance, you may research the most economical carriers while still providing advantages to your applicant source by keeping an eye on health benefit data.

 

  • Attendance Observation 

 

Going around the office to make sure everyone gets there on time is a waste of time and productivity. Additionally, if your company is still using an outdated system, you must ensure that your employees cannot make up missed work.

 

Mobile recruitment options in HR software provide better attendance and time management, ensuring that your personnel is available when required. Managers may also approve timesheets submitted by staff members and alert colleagues when a timesheet’s hours don’t add up.

 

  • Better Benefits Management

 

Talent management must be advantageous to HR departments, but the more employees you have, the more difficult it is to keep everything in line. Companies and HR divisions may find it challenging to pay for health insurance costs on their own. 

 

Because of constantly changing legal requirements, challenging paperwork, and the length of time needed for administrative duties, HR departments’ mobile recruitment skills are easily overworked. 

 

Utilising HR software for benefits administration simplifies calculations for eligibility and coverage while giving employees options. Additional features let you integrate your payroll with HR software to ensure that the right amount is deducted automatically from employee paychecks.

 

Information system for human resources (HRIS)

 

While smaller companies and business owners may be able to provide SMEs with the HR with an informed decision they need with the aid of talent management software, larger businesses may want to test out a fully integrated strategy. Here is where HRIS can help your business by making the hiring process simple.

 

Starting off, let’s define HRIS. Well, it’s a human resources information system with mobile recruitment features. An HRMS (human resources management system) is another name for it. There are several kinds of HRIS systems. These include HRMS, HRIS, and HCM. You probably want to know how they differ from one another.

 

A human resource information system, or HRIS, manages employees and adheres to norms and regulations.

 

Human capital management (HCM) integrates the recruiting process, talent acquisition management, and worldwide capabilities with all the features of an HRIS.

 

HRIS and HCM’s core elements are combined by the HRMS, or human resource management system. 

 

It’s essential for human resource management (HRM) since it makes the routine tasks your HR staff does simpler and quicker.

What’s #trending in Seoul? A guide to what’s hot among the locals, for your next trip to South Korea

Advertisements

Seoul, the vibrant and trendsetting capital of South Korea, is a must visit for a unique and unforgettable experience. Known for being ahead of the curve when it comes to fashion, beauty, style, music and F&B, Seoul is full of charm and things-to-do for every visitor. Seoul is also the second most searched international destination by Vietnamese travelers this summer.

For Vietnamese travelers looking at witnessing live K-pop performances and immersing themselves in the K-pop culture for their summer trip, Booking.com has curated a list of five trends that travellers need to hop on for experiencing the true essence of South Korea. 

Find your ‘personal color’ 

The concept of personal colors is not new, but it has in recent years risen to trend in Korea. Are you a ‘warm spring’ or a ‘cool winter’? Find out which color palettes best compliment you through a guided analysis of your natural color tones. From beauty influencers to BLACKPINK member Jisoo – everyone is hopping onto this trend and working with personal color consultants like Cocory to discover the best shades for their wardrobe, makeup, and hair. 

Take your perfect ID photo

ID photos don’t always have to look dull and boring. Seoul is filled with studios that elevate the profile photo-taking experience, making the process customizable and enjoyable. Whether it’s going for a simple passport shot or a full out, glammed-up photoshoot with props, you can be assured that you’ll look and feel your best while getting that perfect picture taken. Studios like Recorded and Sanho Mansion are among the picks of Korean beauty influencers.

Get your K-pop fix

Seoul is basically heaven for K-pop fans. From large-scale pop-up activations (like SEVENTEEN STREET at the Han River earlier this year), to elaborate café events organized by fans, and to tours that take you to where K-pop groups have filmed their music videos, you’ll never feel too far away from your favorite idols. 

Go café hopping

Seoul has a strong café and dessert culture among both locals and foreigners, with cafés that are highly raved about and a must-visit when in town – from NUDAKE Haus Doas, the artisanal dessert brand under Gentle Monster (an eyewear brand that Jennie from BLACKPINK has famously collaborated with), to hanok-themed café Café Onion, which is known for its Pandoro. 

Live in luxury

Pamper yourself and live like an A-lister at the most luxurious hotels in Seoul. The Shilla Seoul is one at the top of many stars’ lists, with big names like Song Joong Ki, Yoo Jae Suk, and Kim Yuna holding their weddings there. A stone’s throw away from Incheon Airport is Paradise City Hotel, a contemporary luxury hotel featured in K-dramas like Hotel Del Luna and Vincenzo, but perhaps most famed among Single’s Inferno fans for being the indulgent Paradise within the show. 

Looking for hotels to stay at during your next visit? These ones are in the most exciting neighborhoods in the heart of Seoul, and a stone’s throw away from some of the experiences above. 

  • RYSE, Autograph Collection in Hongdae – Art, music, and fashion is what RYSE is all about, with the hotel appealing to the creative souls and tastemakers that make Hongdae the artistic, hip, and youthful vicinity that it is.
  • voco Seoul Gangnam in Gangnam – A chic, contemporary, and stylish stay in a neighborhood overflowing with high-end fashion boutiques, influenced by pop culture – it’s where you’ll find the iconic Gangnam Style statue and a handful of entertainment agencies.
  • Hotel Skypark Central Myeongdong in Myeongdong – An ultra comfortable, extremely accessible, yet slightly more wallet-friendly option for those who intend to do some wallet damage at the Myeongdong shopping district.

A Western guest suddenly received a gift of paper horses from Vietnamese people

Having just returned to France, Arnaud Zein El Din received a series of messages from Vietnamese people wanting to give a paper horse, which he could not bring on the plane.

In early July, Arnaud Zein El Din (44 years old, Mexican) had 3 weeks to visit Hanoi. During these days, he was attracted by the cultural features of the Vietnamese, so he decided to collect many items such as mortar hats, plows, sedge mats, masks, glass cups, brooms or bamboo utensils. Arnaud liked the paper horse (votive) best because he was impressed with the design and pattern printed on it. On August 3, he brought it home but was refused by the airline to transport it due to its size.

“It’s a very delicate craft. I didn’t know they would be burned as an offering. I feel regretful to leave them behind at the airport,” he said.

The image of a foreign man buying a paper horse as a souvenir was shared on social networks, attracting much attention. Many people expressed regret when the gift was left behind.

Knowing the guest’s story and feelings for Vietnam, Son Dang, an architect in Hanoi, came up with the idea to buy another paper horse to send by post. Looking forward to many people joining hands to show hospitality, he wrote on his personal page calling on August 4.

After four days, the group received 1.8 million VND in donation, he spent another 2.2 million VND to cover the shipping fee to France.

The architect and his friends searched all over Hanoi to buy a model horse but couldn’t, so he had to find votive goods factories in Bac Ninh and Thuong Tin (Hanoi).

There are a few models here that are quite similar but large in size, if sent to France (because Arnaud will be here for a while), then moving back to Mexico will be very cumbersome, so Mr. Son bought a small but more sophisticated horse. Ask for Arnaud’s address to send the gift.

On August 9, the paper horse was shipped and is expected to arrive in France in 7-10 days.

Receiving a message from Mr. Son’s group, Arnaud said he was surprised because he did not think the image of himself holding a paper horse at Noi Bai airport would be so famous. He also received many text messages asking him to send gifts from strangers.

“Compared to the old horse, the gift from Mr. Son’s group is brighter and more beautiful. I am very touched when I receive the attention from the Vietnamese. I will put this gift in the most solemn area of ​​the house. Viet Nam is not only beautiful because of the landscape, but also because of his kind heart,” said the 44-year-old man.

Telling more about the journey in Vietnam, Arnaud said the trip was “too wonderful” and felt right when he decided to extend the time from 10 days to 21 days.

During this time, the Mexican man walks around the nooks and crannies of Hanoi. He had the opportunity to “bathe in the fairy” in the Red River, participate in a field meeting, eat and drink with the people, experience drinking coffee on the sidewalk, enjoy beer and delicious dishes such as bun cha, La Vong fish cake. , rolls, green bean cakes, nuggets.

“There are times when I think I’m a real Vietnamese when I quickly adapt to cross the street, like to listen to the noisy sounds from the street and watch the rush of people driving,” he said.

Arnaud is cherishing the intention of making a digital museum of personal crafts and insists that he will definitely return to Vietnam because “he has left a part of his heart in this beautiful country”.

According to that, for each bottle of Hector Ginseng and Hector Collagen produced in 2023, opened and used by customers, the company will donate 1,000 VND to Operation Smile Vietnam from August 8th, 2023, to October 31st, 2023.

The campaign’s goal is to raise 500 million VND through all fundraising channels, equivalent to finding 50 smiles for children.

In addition to this fundraising campaign to support free cleft surgeries, Hector plans to allocate budget to community activities annually, such as SOS Pleiku Village, the Tony Buoi Sang Orphanage Fund, scholarships for students at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Phan Thiet, etc. Through these community efforts, Hector hopes to contribute to spreading a positive spirit of sharing and compassion to customers and the community.

Handling illegal tourism business in Son Tra peninsula

Advertisements

Many spontaneously established beverage stalls on Son Tra Peninsula have caused traffic safety issues. In addition, there is a situation of unauthorized businesses enticing customers that has been promptly dealt with by the authorities.

In recent times, residents have raised concerns about the unauthorized businesses operating at the bend below Linh Ung Pagoda (Son Tra Peninsula, Son Tra District, Da Nang City) leading to traffic safety concerns.

Specifically, each evening, local residents arbitrarily set up tables and chairs to sell drinks along the uphill road on Son Tra Peninsula, catering to tourists who come to admire the nighttime view of Da Nang City. Tourists gather densely at these stalls, parking their vehicles recklessly on the road, leading to traffic safety hazards. What has further frustrated locals and other tourists is that these unauthorized beverage stalls have been littering, causing environmental pollution.

Mr. Ho Ngoc H. (residing in Son Tra District) stated: Many tourists stop their vehicles to drink and enjoy the scenery, occupying the road and posing significant danger.

Spontaneous water shop on the slope in Son Tra peninsula causes traffic safety

Upon receiving these concerns, the People’s Committee of Son Tra District directed the People’s Committee of Tho Quang Ward to inspect and address the issue of unauthorized vending on the road leading to Son Tra Peninsula. On August 8, the People’s Committee of Tho Quang Ward announced that they had conducted inspections and verifications. Subsequently, they issued a record for the unauthorized business activities and seized the materials used for business operations encroaching upon Son Tra Peninsula.

According to Mr. Le Tu Hoa, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Tho Quang Ward, in the past two months, there has been a rise in unauthorized activities such as renting water scooters, surfboards, etc., targeting tourists and posing safety risks to them.

A lot of tourists park their cars on the roadway to enter the spontaneous drink shop to admire the view of Da Nang city from the Son Tra peninsula

From July 26 to August 26, the People’s Committee of Tho Quang Ward intensified propaganda, dissemination, and legal education efforts, as well as enhanced the management of tourism activities to encourage residents to voluntarily comply with the law. At the same time, local authorities organized forces to decisively handle the issue of unauthorized tourism businesses along the beaches of Son Tra Peninsula.

Previously, the functional forces of Son Tra District and Tho Quang Ward had taken coercive measures to dismantle some unauthorized tourism-related constructions on Son Tra Peninsula. However, these establishments continued to engage in activities like enticing tourists to experience services such as coral diving, water scooters, and surfing.

Mr. Tran Dai Nghia, Deputy Head of the Management Board of Son Tra Peninsula and Danang’s Beaches, affirmed that unauthorized tourism experiences, such as coral diving on Son Tra Peninsula, are illegal.

Dat Bike collaborates with Baemin, using electric motorcycles for food delivery

Advertisements

Drivers can now rent cars by the day instead of having to invest a large amount of money to buy a whole vehicle. This green transportation service has been launched in Ho Chi Minh City starting today.

On August 9th, Dat Bike – a renowned electric bike startup in Vietnam – announced a partnership with Baemin, an online food delivery app, to deploy electric motorcycles for delivery. Accordingly, the green delivery service with Dat Bike’s electric motorcycles on the Baemin app has been launched in Ho Chi Minh City starting today.

It is known that the collaboration between Baemin and Dat Bike began in the first phase in June 2023 with an electric motorcycle trial program for driver-partners. After receiving positive feedback during the initial phase, phase 2 will officially commence, aiming to provide driver-partners with rental bikes at a preferential price of 32,400 VND/day, helping to save costs and optimize operations during deliveries. Phase 2 is scheduled to take place over a period of 3 months, from July 25th to October 25th, with a certain number of electric motorcycles allocated for Baemin’s driver-partners.

After phase 2, BAEMIN and Dat Bike will negotiate and adjust the rental price to suit the needs and financial capabilities of the driver partners. This collaboration aims to test the operation of discounted rental rates for drivers as a form of installment payment, rather than requiring a large upfront fee to own the vehicle.

Previously, Dat Bike also partnered with Gojek, a ride-hailing and online food delivery platform. Within this partnership, Dat Bike will provide Gojek driver partners with the Dat Bike Weaver++ electric bike model to carry out passenger transportation (GoRide), food delivery (GoFood), and parcel delivery (GoSend) services in Vietnam. The use of Dat Bike Weaver++ electric bikes can significantly reduce fuel costs for Gojek driver partners by only a quarter compared to gasoline-powered bikes, thus saving considerable operational expenses and contributing to environmental protection by reducing emissions.

Dat Bike is one of the prominent electric bike startups in Vietnam, gaining fame after a successful funding pitch on Shark Tank Vietnam. As of now, Dat Bike is valued at around 32 million USD.

The current electric bike models offered by Dat Bike are designed in a motorcycle style. Among them, the latest model, Dat Bike Weaver++, is priced at around 66 million VND, reaching a maximum speed of 90 km/h and covering a distance of 200 km per full charge in 3 hours. Dat Bike also claims to be the fastest electric motorcycle brand in Vietnam.
