The Need for Efficiency In HR
Running a newly established national university requires the efforts of hundreds of people. One of the areas most crucial to the university's administration is Human Resources. A highly functional HR Department serves every employee well, while unaddressed administrative challenges can cause a dangerous and self-feeding downward spiral in employee productivity and job satisfaction.
The Human Resources Department at the University of Belize was facing this problem. All of its major HR processes were managed manually, resulting in a highly labor intensive and paper-driven organization. Hiring, training, retention, timekeeping, benefits administration, and leave accruals were all managed and tracked on paper.
This approach created several significant problems for the University:
 Significant use of staff time
 Opportunity for human error
 Physical data storage and retrieval
problems
 Duplication of effort
 Limited task automation
 Poor reporting capabilities
 Poor decision support
Complicating the problem was the fact that the University's IT staff was not prepared to deploy and support a modern, enterprise-level HR management system. Further, solving these issues might require significant expense; however not solving them would eventually bring University HR operations to a standstill.
What Would The Ideal HR Solution Look Like?
The university needed a flexible, scalable Human Resources solution that would enable it to manage every aspect of employment. The solution must be able to store all HR data for each employee; manage timekeeping; conduct accurate benefits administration; track leave accruals; and organize new employee recruitment for open positions at the University.
In addition, the solution must be highly cost-effective and fully hosted to permit the modernization of the University's HR Department
