Best HR management software for South African businesses
As South African businesses and their workforces grow, it can be challenging to manage one of the most important aspects of a business — human resources.
However, enterprises have several cloud-based human capital management (HCM) platforms from which to choose, with some of the best coming from SAP, Oracle, and Workday.
The benefits of cloud-based HCM software include cost savings, data security, streamlined payroll and talent management, and the ability to connect from anywhere.
These cloud-based software suites generally offer core HR features, payroll capabilities, machine learning-powered skills development, and HR analytics.
They can also be integrated with various cloud-based products, such as accounting and other business-related software.
The human capital management products offered by SAP, Oracle, and Workday are listed and briefly described below.
SAP SuccessFactors HXM suite
SAP’s SuccessFactors HXM suite offers a range of features to streamline human resources processes for South African businesses.
Various big international companies, including Vodafone, Growmark, and the Whirlpool Corporation, use SAP’s SuccessFactors HXM suite for their HR needs.
Its features include employee experience management, core HR and payroll, talent management, HR analytics and workforce planning, and sales performance management.
The suite can be integrated with other SAP or third-party applications, letting customers build, expand, and optimise their HR and business operations.
SAP says key factors that differentiate its cloud-based software from other human capital management products include individualised experiences, skills building and always-on development, and global and local regulation management.
It also says the individualised experiences aspect of its product helps “keep employees happy, productive, and engaged”.
