Workforce Management
People are the single most valuable and expensive asset in your business.
Employees are a crucial factor for a company’s development and growth. IFS Applications provide an integrated solution for workforce management allowing real-time access to information about your entire business. Easy and correct registration of time and expenses by the employees themselves gives you access to real-time data to base your decisions and actions on.
IFS Human Resources provides the tools you need to optimize your resources and involve your employees in the human capital management process. Through the employee’s own development, company’s goals and strategies will be better met. With IFS Human Resources, you get the benefits of an integrated solution that supports the need for business control while involving everyone in the process of building and maintaining a thriving company.
From the boardroom…
IFS HR is a full-scale human resource solution but is also designed to support other IFS business applications. IFS HR allows IFS to offer customers an ERP system covering all that is needed for an enterprise to be in control and gain competitive advantages. With accessible historic and real time data you gain business control and can create more robust plans to meet company goals. When following up budgets, for example, it is valuable to be able to track employee time and costs. Being in control of an employee development process, linked to company goals, guarantees the long-term supply of necessary competencies. IFS HR supplies you with tools that clarify your competency needs and supports you through the employee development or recruiting process. Supported by a balanced scorecard, these complex data can be presented in the form of simple images. Age structures in your enterprise, competence levels, or comparing how the volume of overtime hours affects quality can be automatically reported in clear graphical images. In itself, this is nothing new. But IFS HR radically streamlines and simplifies the process, allowing your enterprise to change as quickly as the environment around it.
…through personnel administration…
As an integrated solution, IFS HR supports the entire value chain within HR as well as adding value to other business processes. Via common data storage, IFS HR controls the
flow of personnel data and supports the business processes with the information they require. This saves time since the data need only be entered once and in one location to enable everyone who is authorized to access the information. IFS Applications have been created in an open architecture—so it’s easy to integrate with other technology and software.
In countries where IFS has not developed its own payroll solution, we can easily integrate with third-party payroll solutions on the market.
…to the shop floor
The design and tight integration makes it possible to create involvement among the employees, which significantly increases the quality of the information. IFS HR has developed the “Employee Self-service” concept, an idea based on the ability to delegate the responsibility for data registration and data maintenance to the source of information, the employees. Access is simple through a personal portal where employees enter their time and attendance hours, project hours and travel expenses directly into the system. The portal is also a bearer of information and gives employees access to the tools needed to gain control over their own individual information, performance and development—in brief, everything that the employee is involved in. Involved employees ensure that the competency register always contains up-to-the-minute data. Employee development strategies implemented into IFS HR helps you, together with your employees, to define competence development plans for each individual to reach a higher level of motivation and involvement amongst the employees. It also helps you meet—and even exceed—company goals. Your organization will benefit from this when staff at all levels can focus on core tasks instead of time-consuming administration of human resource data.
