Hospital HR departments seem to have a perpetually increasing scope of responsibility. From managing layers of employee education, benefits and incentive programs to the daily (or hourly) need to adjust staffing levels, the responsibilities seem endless.
And often, the tools that are meant to simplify work processes seem maddeningly complicated when you’re actually working with them.
For example, PeopleSoft Human Capital Management is a robust and feature-rich software solution. Translation: it’s a great tool – but no one is born knowing how to use it.
Parents of teenagers will understand this Driver’s Ed analogy: Good drivers aren’t born, they’re made. If you’ve ever sat in the passenger’s seat with an inexperienced driver, you probably understand. Imagine several new drivers handed keys to nice new cars and told they should be able to “drive better.” After all, they’ve been riding in cars for years…
It’s absurd, isn’t it?
The Road to a More Efficient HR Department
PeopleSoft HCM is a sleek and powerful tool, and it works, right out of the box. Hospital staff are eager to learn how to use it to make their work easier, and it can.
A methodical plan and thoughtful training and implementation schedule can lead to rapid reductions in errors, duplicated efforts and costs.
Back to the Driver’s Ed analogy: even after getting the hang of the basics of managing a car, learning how to parallel park and improve your fuel efficiency takes a little more practice. And tips from experienced drivers make the whole process smoother.
Similarly, most hospitals benefit from expert advice to help them improve productivity and accuracy in certain areas, particularly with the HCM solution.
Some of the most frustrating areas are in what seem to be straightforward, including:
- Inaccurate benefits and errors on W2s
- Retroactive Pay and Deductions
- Difficulty managing life events
Whether your hospital has recently implemented PeopleSoft HCM or is looking for a better way to manage some of your many HR responsibilities, you could probably benefit from some expert advice.
