Time Point’s cloud-based HR software allows your organisation to improve employee attendance management, automate the onboarding process and increase overall productivity. 

In this blog, we explain what HR management software is, and how its key functions can benefit your business. 

What is HR software? 

Cloud-based Human Resources software collects, stores, processes and automates employee information quickly and in one centralised space. Contributing to all HR functions – such as payroll, leave time and performance management – it offers companies a single source of data, while providing employees with a useful self-service tool. 

What are the key functions of Time Point’s HR software? 

TP Cloud allows you to bring any important employee related information into one single location, empowering you to reduce admin time and staff costs and increasing efficiency. This is made possible thanks to a range of powerful features. 

#1: Centralised Information Storage

TP cloud-based HR software collects employee information at the time of recruitment and provides a centralised point to store this data, with easy access for any authorized personnel anywhere, anytime. Such information may include employee contact details, annual leave entitlements, payroll information and performance scores. 

Instead of storing sensitive information in multiple unsecure locations, Time Point’s HR software stores employee data securely, with reliable protection against cyberattacks or unauthorised users in the cloud. This is especially useful for teams that work remotely, as it allows your staff to access staff records whenever or wherever they are. 

#2: Onboarding workflow

The process of onboarding new employees can take a lot of time from getting contracts signed, to uploading them and setting up the new employees in your internal systems. TP cloud’s HR feature allows you to create mandatory checklists and document any files that have been received, automatically to your system from your employee’s first day in the company! This way, your HR team can easily keep track of their candidates’ status and keep management informed about the onboarding process, thus reducing onboarding times. 

#3: HR Messaging

The benefits of Time Point’s HR features go beyond recruitment and onboarding. Our tools also allow you to automate any internal communication workflows related to organisational announcements, company policy changes or updates. 

With the Time Point App you can seamlessly connect employees’ and managers, helping you improve communication throughout your workforce. The app allows you to send messages to individual employees or your entire workforce at the touch of a button, upload rosters, receive holiday requests and more. 

It also provides your staff with auditable access to view and maintain their personal employment records. New employees can update their file directly including their phone numbers, address or bank details. 

#4: HR e-diary

A good HR solution provides your team with the right tools to help them remember any important to do’s and stay up to date with any GDPR requirements. This is possible with Time Point’s HR eDiary.

It features automated follow-ups for interim reviews, annual reviews, appraisals and disciplinary reviews. You can also set reminders to ensure that if any breaches of a company’s policy take place, instant e-Alerts will be sent to all HR managers’ smart devices. By easily ensuring you comply with all regulations, breaches of GDPR can thus be greatly reduced!

#5: Leave Management

By enabling self-service access to your HR system, with TP Cloud, the entire team can submit their leave requests conveniently online. Whether it be annual leave, parental leave, maternity leave, or compassionate leave they can update their requests with ease to be approved or declined by management.

#6: Performance Management & Reporting

In order to effectively monitor the performance of your workforce, you need the right tools and data. This will then allow you to set up a goal framework for your employees and enable a mechanism for managers to rate performance. 

With all your staff information stored in an all-in-one system, it’s much easier to build up your database and visualise important trends. With Time Point’s HR software, you can easily view a range of comprehensive dashboards and reports by department or location. If you want to get really specific, you have access to numerous filters and drill down options for all aspects of your workforce’s performance. 

#7: Employee benefits

With our online documentation system, which automates recording and filing through the uploading of all key employee documents, you can go paperless easily and reduce time spent on numerous files by your HR department. This also includes any data related to employee benefits, such as life insurance details, medical insurance, pension details and more. 

#8: Payroll management

The ability to store up-to-date job and pay data is a critical feature of any HR software, as it offers a way to enable more accurate and less time-consuming pay runs. TP Cloud allows you to save and update any payment-related employee information, enabling an accurate data flow between your HR, payroll and finance teams. Ultimately, this will lead to fewer payroll queries for your pay runs and allow your teams to spend more time on other tasks and projects.
