HR Software Event Coming Soon

HR software has become and integral part of workplaces of all different sizes throughout the globe. Many businesses have found that it enables their HR teams to be more efficient and save money. Employers who have yet to purchase an HR software option should consider attending a conference on the topic so that they can learn how these products can benefit their company.

One big HR event coming up in the HR Technology Show which will be taking place from June 11th to June 12th in Frisco Texas. Called theHRshow, the event is being referred to as the largest HR technology show in the region.

"The 2008 Talent Management Technology event that HRchitect produced in conjunction with the IHRIM DFW Affinity Group was a huge success," said Matt Lafata, who is the Vice President of Sales & Marketing for HRchitect and the Conference chair for theHRshow. "We have such a passion for educating the HR community on the wonderful world of HR technology and thought what better way than to start a regional show that will quickly become the buzz of the entire industry. We are very excited about the caliber of sessions and opportunities that this show will bring to the HR industry."

TheHRshow officially launched its website on December 2nd. During the same day, the event managers put out a call for presenters for the program. The show will not only involve industry leaders but will also offer more that 20 informational sessions for those that attend.

"We are expecting a large response to our Call for Presentations and appreciate the early interest shown as we have discussed the conference with a few of our contacts," said HRchitect's Director of Marketing Tiffany Appleby, who is also the Director of Marketing for the Conference. "We know it will take some time to select just the right presentations and panelists that our audience will find intriguing and stimulating. We are looking for anything from innovative ideas, success stories, case studies, new and emerging technologies, HR trends, workforce planning issues, talent management initiatives, best practices, and so much more."

"HRchitect has been asked continually since we chaired the 2006 and 2008 events about when we are going to do it again," added HRchitect’s President Rick Fletcher. "We've taken our time in planning this talk about conference out as we want to make sure the debut of theHRshow is something that people look forward to year after year. And with the industry's most affordable attendee registration fee, we expect once again to have the largest turnout of HR technology buyers in this part of the country and encourage vendors to sign up for the exposition hall right away."

HR Software Helps Companies Go Green

In recent years, environmental consciousness has been on the rise. Many employers have found that going green helps their image and attracts employees who are concerned with social issues, particularly those from the generation Y.

There are many ways that an office place can make changes that help the environment. One way to do this is to invest in HR software. According to Richard Thomas, who is the director of product strategy and marketing at HR software provider Midland HR, these programs help lower the amount of ink and paper used by a business. This in turn helps to save the company money that would be spent on such items.

Since resumes are usually sent on paper or printed off the computer when e-mailed to a company, having HR software gives the employer a place to store such information. Keeping resumes in an online database not only cuts down on the use of paper, it also makes it easier for a hiring manger to locate these documents. Assessment tests that are given to make sure an applicant is qualified can also be set up on the computer, which eliminates the need for the paper they would be printed on and the ink used to write them.

Thomas also went on to say that HR software enables an employer to send on payslips via e-mail to employees. Since this information would usually be printed out weekly or bi-monthly for every individual employed by a company, this can make a huge difference in an inventory budget and to the environment.

He went on to say that other things that can be switched to electronic formats through the use of HR software include absence monitoring, vacation request, company expense reports and employee timesheets. Aside from helping the environment and helping to save a company money, storing this information on a compute can also make it easier for human resource managers to locate.
