It's no secret that business management software can help your enterprise optimize workflows, centralize data and improve cross-departmental communications, but did you know that it can also help you recruit, manage and retain talented workers? That's because enterprise resource planning features  a number of functions that are very helpful for human resources and employee satisfaction.

Talent management
Brian Kalish of Employee Benefits News reported that a specialized group of developers who focused on talent management tools used to provide HR software. Many ERP providers saw these solutions as another way to provide value to growing businesses, and purchased these vendors or developed their own HR solutions. Now as a result, "many ERP vendors now provide end-to-end talent management solutions that meet the requirements of large, complex organizations." 

Payment automation
Suzanne Franco of IT Web reported that integrating payroll functions with ERP provides a more expansive view of the full business. In addition, ERP software brings automatic payments with calculated deductions and overtime, so employees are paid accurately and quickly. ERP software also helps the payroll team comply with any legal payroll requirements. 

Benefit elections
In an ERP system, employees can access all relevant information when they're making benefit decisions and their changes are reflected in real-time. Not only does this take more administrative roles out of HR's hands, allowing them to focus on recruitment and retention, but it empowers workers by helping them stay informed and take ownership of their benefits.
