Summary

How digitalized HR solutions help you retain employees and improve job satisfaction

Boosting morale and ensuring job satisfaction is crucial to the success of your business. Maintaining positive working conditions is a key aspect of any employee retention strategy. Not only will your employees be happier, they’ll also be better workers – your company can increase profits by 25% when team morale is high.

What is job satisfaction?

Job satisfaction isn’t a physical thing, but rather the concept of employees being happy at work. Since happiness is subjective, job satisfaction will be different from employee to employee. That said, when assessing employee morale you can ask:

  • If you are committed to the welfare of your employees
  • If employees have time or opportunities to pursue their hobbies
  • If employees feel respected by their colleagues
  • If workplace culture encourages open feedback and communication
  • If your company is committed to inclusive and equitable policies
  • If employees have job security

Asking these questions is a good first step towards determining employee satisfaction, and learning what you can do to boost morale. And boosting morale is valuable for your business, an unhappy employee is about 10% less productive. Unhappy employees are also more prone to quitting, so improving job satisfaction means less employee turnover. Finally, happy employees have better relationships with their coworkers, which leads to higher team morale.

What is HR technology?

HR technology refers to the software that businesses are increasingly relying on to execute their HR processes. Emerging HR tech streamlines the workday by saving time on administrative tasks. Thanks to developments in automation and software improvements, HR professionals are able to focus on developing strategies and increasing worker engagement.

There are three basic categories of HR tech.

Human resource information systems

Human resources information systems (HRIS) is HR tech designed to help your business store employee data. The data HRIS handle is essential to an organization’s functioning.

As the HR field evolved and included more responsibilities, HRIS programs began offering talent acquisition and hiring modules to streamline those processes as well.

Human resource management systems

Like HRIS, human resource management systems (HRMS) are used to help with payroll, time tracking, and policy compliance. These systems are used in the same way as HRIS platforms are.

Human capital management systems

Human capital management (HCM) means addressing the needs and performance of your employees. That includes creating compensation plans, creating strategies for developing your workforce, and tracking performance.

HCM is more advanced than either HRIS or HRMS. Your business can benefit from using HCM systems to address every phase of the employee lifecycle, and the software is highly customizable.

How can you use HR tech to boost morale?

If you’re wondering how to motivate employees, the key is employee engagement. When employees are engaged, it means that they enjoy their roles and think positively about their workplace. Engaging employees is all about bridging the gap between employees and their employers, and HR tech can help you do that.

Automate routine tasks

Using HR technology to automate aspects of employee management like paperwork and emails means less work for your HR team and smoother communication between them and your employees. An HR department with less routine work is an HR department with time to address employee concerns.

A key element of employee satisfaction is receiving quick, helpful answers to questions. By automating the ‘generic’ parts of HR, such as filling forms and submitting requests, you will be able to put more effort into employee development.

Get feedback

If you want to get an idea of employee job satisfaction, the best thing to do is ask them. Employee feedback is an essential tool you can use to find areas to improve, understand what matters to your workers, and give your employees a voice in the company.

Not having a space or feeling welcome to share feedback is bad for employee morale. It’s important to make it clear you welcome feedback and encourage workers to voice their opinions. HR tech can help you regularly reach out to employees and prepare surveys to be filled.

Recognition and rewards

For your workers to appreciate working at your business, it’s important that they feel appreciated as well. Research from McKinsey shows that productivity increases by 20% when employee recognition is communicated effectively. You can show that you recognize achievements with something as simple as liking or commenting on completed tasks.

Rewarding workers for exemplary work also boosts morale. Using HR tech, you can set up rewards programs for individual employees, which personalizes their benefits. A great way to do this is by offering different perks to different workers according to what motivates them; for example, by offering working parents additional vacation days they can spend with their families.

Set up self-service

One massive benefit of HR technology is that you can streamline completion of key functions. Most platforms allow employees to submit requests and handle their benefits themselves. This also means less time is spent waiting for replies and emailing back and forth.

Implementing a benefits portal gives employees the freedom to browse and research available benefits on their own time, and to make faster decisions. The added control of self-service solutions gives workers more autonomy and demonstrates trust. HR software can collect data on employee preferences that will help you make the systems more useful to future employees.

You can also work towards higher team morale with Lumiform. The paperless form creation app makes it easy for you to draft feedback surveys, evaluation forms, and communicate your HR policies. Every form you create can be completed by your employees in minutes wherever they are, and the data you collect is stored automatically.
