We know that HR professionals traditionally spend over a third of their time answering employee emails and queries on operational issues. These are workplace management tasks that can easily be transferred to self-service core HR software.

This administrative burden is exacerbated by confusing or outdated HR software with poor employee self-service. It means when an employee has queries about payroll, leave management, or performance management, for instance, they come straight to HR, adding to the overall administrative management headache.

Employee relationship management suffers when Human Resources spends its time firefighting a mountain of admin. XCD’s HR software allows the employer to dramatically speed up employee processes and boost HR productivity, freeing up time for HR to focus on managing the strategic side of employee relations.

A key element of employee relations is a consistent and clear absence and leave process. A modern core HR solution should enable seamless management and boost employee engagement – while mobile line-manager approvals eliminate a significant management burden for the HR department.

User experience is key. In XCD, employees can check their leave allowance from anywhere using the XCD Mobile App; submit holiday requests on the bus, from the bath, even when they're already on holiday.

XCD's HR software reporting and analytics tools allow employers to identify potential business resource disruption, closely tracking sickness and absence and employee relations trends to spot potential engagement issues.

In XCD's HR software, meeting your absence and leave compliance obligations is easy. All leave calculations, allocations, and adjustments are automated, saving the employer thousands of hours a year. 

XCD's employee relations software saves time and increases accuracy by automating chosen workflows. Workforce management and HR performance is significantly improved, increasing accuracy and freeing up time that HR teams can spend on strategic tasks like employee relationship management.

XCD’s core HR system flexibility allows you to choose which tasks are automated, boosting productivity in the areas most important to you and your organisation. 

An ERM system makes internal comms easier to manage. How you communicate with your employees sets the tone for workplace culture. It's a key ingredient in how relationships between employer and workforce are nurtured.

Employee relationships are improved by immediate, easy access to news, announcements and information. And XCD provides one destination for employees to find everything they need.
