Tips For Managing HR Tech in SMBs
In HRchat episode 346, we focus on the challenges faced SMBs and how HR tech can help to fill some gaps to keep employees happy and on track.
My guest is Jean-Simon Bolduc, Technical Director, Associate at Folks, a company on a mission to provide SMBs with HR software solutions adapted to their financial reality.
Questions Include:
- The needs of employees and how HR tries to meet them are very different in SMBs compared to larger organizations. Can you share some of the unique challenges faced by HR in SMBs when it comes to managing their people and ensuring a positive employee experience?
- What do you believe are the top 5 most important questions an HR department needs to ask itself before starting implementation of a new HRIS?
- Your team helps with absence and vacation management, performance evaluation, training, career management, and much more. Which one of these HR duties is the single biggest time suck and why? How can tech cut down the time investment?
- Why are surveys and continuous feedback so important to keeping employees happy and engaged?
- There’s an interesting case study on the Folks website which talks about ways your software saved an SMB around 175,000 in a year. Can you tell me a bit about how that was achieved? As part of that, perhaps you could highlight some practices other SMBs could borrow so they can also make cost-saving without cutting down on HR essentials?
