Managing day-to-day tasks can be burdensome and slow down your ability to actually get tasks done. Whether you are a CEO of a small company or an HR manager of a large company, these tools can be very helpful.
1. Google Calendar
This may seem like a no-brainer, but many HR personnel do not know that Google offers free calendar services, and these calendars can be shared with various email addresses. This is an inexpensive HR software tool to keep employees up to date on various meetings and happenings around the company.
2. EmpXTrack
Web based software is the future. The costs are low, they are constantly updated, and very easy to use. There is no longer a need for in house support staff, because the companies that supply this software have 24-hour support teams to help.
3. HR360
This should absolutely be in the bookmarks of anyone in an HR department. There are simply way too many free tools available on this website for it not to be. From health care forms to discipline and termination tools, this site provides some great free resources, as well as paid products.
4. Labor Time Tracker
If you are in the manufacturing industry, service industry, or any other industry that needs to track time, Labor Time Tracker is a tool for you. In this digital age, old school time cards are a thing of the past.
5. Do.com
This is an extremely helpful task management software for large companies. You can create to-do list and see progress on certain tasks of all your employees. The greatest benefit of this task management software is the chat function. You can chat with your salesperson about task specific topics across the country or around the world all from your desktop.
6. TribeHR
This tool can put all of your HR tasks into the digital age. Most companies still use written RTOs, which can get lost or thrown away by accident; TribeHR solves this issue. You can manage time-off requests, recruit new employees and even run employee performance evaluations with ease and from the convenience of remote workspaces. This is a great tool for any company with HR needs or companies with employees on the go.
7. Trello
Again, in this digital age it is important to keep visual notes. Most companies used to have a cork board where all employees could see notes and give their input. Trello brings that same concept to the web. This way, your employees who may not be in the office are up to date on the happenings within the organization and can give suggestions or comments.
8. UltiPro
Aimed at medium to large companies, UltiPro is the latest and greatest in computerized personnel management. With a clean UI and easy to integrate software, this is a must have for companies with a large amount of employees.
9. JobDiva
On the hiring and recruiting side of things, JobDiva is the software to have. They have patented methods of searching through resumes, such as the feature “Resume Search for Skills By Years of Experience”. This makes sorting through resumes that the program pulls from various job boards very easy and saves hiring managers a lot of time.
10. Customized software
HR software that is tailored to your specific needs obviously trumps any other software on the market. Software companies will come in, interview your HR department and tailor the program to their certain need. The downside of this is the cost, because customized software can be too expensive for small firms to pay to develop, but if you are a large company that can handle the expense, it is definitely a great investment.
