THE ROLE OF HR: Building a cohesive team one talent at a time

If you are a startup who just entered the market, there are probably a million other aspects for you to focus on. Getting a HR software might be at the bottom of your list but investing in one can help you stay out of the chaos and enjoy an organized workflow.

Traditional ‘systems’ such as storing your employees data or keeping track of their attendance via spreadsheets may work (for awhile) but as time passes, this would eventually become a nightmare as your people would get swarmed with low-value administrative tasks that takes up valuable time.

With limited manpower, it is critical for all of your talent pool to focus on their primary function and help to achieve the company’s business goals together.

Spending Too Much Time On Administrative Tasks

A study by Unit4 showed that Singapore’s white-collared workers are least productive in terms of time spent on their primary job function; 60 per cent of their time were spent on primary tasks while the global average stands at 72 per cent.

When asked to identify the amount of time spent on administrative tasks that takes time away from their primary duties, the results are as follows:

  • Manually collating and entering data - 30 per cent
  • Tracking their project status - 26 per cent
  • Handling invoices - 20 per cent
  • Submitting their expenses and planning travels - 11 per cent

Did you know? According to Deloitte’s ‘2017 Global Human Capital Trends’ report, 73 percent of business and HR leaders consider ‘digital HR’ an important trend in human capital management. This is precisely why emerging companies have to solidify their operations internally and enjoy systems that can help them reach their business goals.

Another survey by a 2013 OfficeMax survey also found that small business owners were wasting more than four billion hours a year on administrative tasks and 41% of the same respondents shared that it did affected their passion and energy for running their business.
