How to Increase ROI by using PERMS Millennium Strategically

Fifteen years ago, a human resources strategy may have focused on recruitment and retention or minimizing absenteeism. Over the years, HR has become much more complex. Today, a human resources management system such as PERMS Millennium allows HR to go beyond administrative functions and carry our HR strategies that can positively impact the entire organization. One reason why CEO's are now including HR managers in strategic planning is that an HRMS makes them the custodian of centralized information to every employee and function.

The return on investment for PERMS Millennium immediately comes from the strategic use of data that is all tied together such as personnel, time and attendance, benefits, compensation, employee training and payroll information. PERMS Millennium manages this data by streamlining all HR processes. As a result, more time can be allocate to conducting strategic initiatives such as:

Project Management - PERMS Millennium can assist in determining the most cost effective method for accomplishing a project based on the records of employee skills, employee training, workforce scheduling and compensation. PERMS Millennium's budget module can even be used to plan and track the costs associated with each project.

Expedite Communication - All personnel documentation can be stored electronically in PERMS Millennium. If a request needs to be approved, it can be routed and approved electronically by as many supervisors as needed without moving a paper document from one department to another. Automatic alerts and triggers also notify managers of important tasks to be carried out.

Identify Problem Areas - PERMS Millennium includes a powerful reporting system that generates both standard template reports and customized reports, in seconds. If frequent injuries occur in a specific location, the OSHA reports will indicate this so safety precautions can be implemented. Time and attendance violations can be identified and curbed by implementing a points escalation system to reward or penalize employees. In addition, staffing shortages and overages can also be identified.

Standardize Accruals - Each department can measure time and attendance accruals consistently throughout the entire company. PERMS Millennium maintains all sick, vacation and personal time off accruals. The solution's tracking features will also help to avoid costly FLSA and FMLA compliance violations.

Compensation Planning - Employee compensation can be compared to internal or external industry data to determine the most equitable value of your employees. In addition, training, skills and performance review data can all be called up to conduct compensation planning.

Measure Strategic Effectiveness - Many indicators measure company and personnel performance by tracking training, promotions, compensation and accruals. PERMS Millennium seamlessly integrates with ITPayS and many other payroll systems to provide even more information on company performance.
