Solution & functionality
Our software development team built an automated web application and introduced a highly flexible database to correspond to frequent updates in HR and business processes. All the added features improve the handling of staffing issues and routine administrative tasks.
Employee Profile
Previously, employee information was scattered, lacking a centralized hub. Now, the HRM system consolidates all processes into a single platform. It enables task assignments, comment submissions, and filters employee data, allowing results to be saved in spreadsheets for analytics. In the Employee Profile tab, specialists access general info, Skills Management section, Development Plan, one-on-one meeting functionality, and document sharing. The system streamlines employee data management, improving decision-making and enhancing HR processes.
Centralized system with flexible settings
Frequent changes in the company structure, employee functions, and overall internal business processes needed centralization. To address this challenge, we upgraded the employee data storage and empowered it with highly flexible settings to easily update and obtain the information. We enabled access to organizational structure, advanced search, and quick employee searches using filters like name, administrative units, positions, managers, and employee filtering by professional expertise, skills, and more.
Within our HRM application, we’ve introduced the following functionality:
- Company structure tab
- Organizational structure presented in both tree and list formats
- Comprehensive employee list with various filtering options
- Efficient employee search
With these enhancements, we’ve streamlined access to crucial company information, making it more accessible and beneficial for the employees.
Localization of HR processes
Businesses based in different regions adhere to specific legal norms and HR processes, such as contract models, vacation management, probation, days off, and calendar plans. Our specialists faced this challenge by building a flexible modular structure within the Processes tab. Users are provided with a current set of options:
Create process drafts and efficiently oversee existing processes.
Receive automatic alerts when final versions of processes are prepared and published.
Provide multilingual support, ensuring a more inclusive experience for users.
Improved leave management
Leave policies vary by office location, including time off procedures, probationary periods, and allotted days. This diversity may pose challenges, especially when employees relocate. The system simplifies sick days requests, providing a clear overview of time off entitlements, upcoming leaves, and request history.
We have introduced the ‘Time off’ tab which displays leave balance, requests details (leave type, date, duration, quantity, and request status, subordinate requests) enabling managers to review their subordinates’ leave requests. Data export streamlines record-keeping in accounting programs.
System settings
Frequent changes in the company organization, employee roles, and operational procedures called for centralizing. We have introduced the bulk change feature with an intuitive UI in the “System Settings” tab to achieve this. It encompasses the company structure, allowing users to apply changes in bulk through a user-friendly interface.
Additionally, we incorporated smart filtering within the company structure section. Users can filter data by unit, division, department, team, group, and more. On one hand, this empowers users to seamlessly relocate employees to new locations or departments with a single click. On the other hand, filtering enables users to select multiple parameters and swiftly access pertinent information efficiently.
Corporate mobile application
To gain an opportunity to work efficiently on the go, we integrated the ecosystem with a corporate mobile employee HR app that duplicates the main HRM system functionality and makes corporate workflow information easily accessible. The mobile app covers key corporate needs, such as access management, company structure, employee viewing, time off processing, main settings, and notifications.
