Here’s to all managers who are afraid of change. And afraid to adopt technology.
A good HR Apps could be all that you need to streamline the employee management process and become more systematic.
HRM is an indispensable function of any business. It keeps track of your employees, their performances and payroll. As a company grows, its policies change and its ways of hiring and managing employees also constantly evolve. So you have to constantly adapt and adjust with a lot of things all the time. And this becomes tough without a system to keep track of all that’s going on. Therefore,
technological change is something you should adopt readily with an open heart precisely because it entails the removal of obsolete and unproductive ways with new, beneficial, and profitable methods.
Adopt this change but preferably through an Open Source Plugin!
Why Open Source Plugin is better than SaaS software?
- no dependence on the provider’s server: users can run the application on their own servers, i.e., it is self-hosted.
- flexibility & extensibility: ease-of-use: plugins are generally simplistically made so you can later customize and change it in your own way.
- simplicity: a plugin typically has few functions, so it’s more manageable for SMEs that do not require many sophisticated and advanced features.
- additional features: like extensions that boost the performance of the system.
