Can Better Personnel Management Improve the Bottom Line?

A newly released report, independently produced for Software for People, sets out key personnel management issues that can affect the profitability of UK businesses.

The report, Managing Human Resources: Future Options for Successful Companies, focuses on three key areas. Firstly, streamlining the administrative processes associated with recruiting, employing, paying and developing personnel. Secondly, ensuring compliance with the increasing range of statutory and legislative requirements. Lastly the report identifies aspects of rewarding, developing and motivating personnel that through productivity and retention can have a direct impact on profitability.

Hugo Fair, Director at Software for People and author of ìPersonnel and Profitî, believes that the report can help businesses understand the role that their workforce can play in maintaining profitable growth in todayís trading environment.

ìWhen managers are focussed on delivering profitable services to demanding customers itís sometimes easy to forget the true cost of managing a workforce. Yet the sizeable costs of selecting, recruiting, inducting and training a new employee can be squandered if that employee subsequently leaves again. Retaining a productive, motivated and well-rewarded workforce can go a long way to growing a company whilst controlling costsî.

The report, which is being made available free to UK businesses, also looks at all aspects of the process of selecting appropriate HR and Payroll management software.

ìPersonnel can be as crucial to a companyís continuing success as any other aspect of the business. We believe that our free report will help business managers to identify the true benefit of effective personnel management whilst also outlining how to select the best software systemî, concludes Hugo Fair.
