We have recently launched our newest whitepaper “Less stress HRIS – Part one: The road to the cloud”. In this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast Chris is joined by fellow LACERs Aaron Alburey and Sian Beacham as they cover the five steps to delivering the perfect HRIS implementation.
Step 1: Building your value case
It’s important to build a case for change to clearly demonstrate to your C-Suite and senior stakeholders why it’s needed and how it will benefit the business. Engaging the right stakeholders early is crucial to avoid buyer’s remorse.
Step 2: Building your plan and design foundations
Sian and Aaron discuss defining scope, timeline, and key design decisions—such as employee experience, governance, and data strategy—when building design foundations, to ensure your choices align with your organisation’s long-term vision.
Step 3: Selecting your tech partner
The third step covers selecting the right technology partner. Aaron emphasises when choosing a partner there should be a focus on how technology can solve specific business problems rather than just meeting functional requirements.
Step 4: Mobilising your team and ways of working
This involves assembling a team consisting of the client, a technology partner, an SI partner, and a strategic advisory partner like LACE to support implementation and configuration.
Step 5: Ensuring change sticks
Lastly, a key factor in a successful technology implementation is investing in change management. This includes encouraging behavioural change, adopting a new mindset, and tracking adoption to ensure the change is effective.
Listen now for a brief overview of these five steps for a successful HRIS implementation. To dive deeper into each step, download your free copy of the whitepaper here.
