How Better Response to Your Human Resources Needs can Save Your Business

If I were to start yet another business service center today, I’d definitely use Comindware Tracker to help me ma manage the back-ends. Why?

About nine years ago I owned and manage two business service centers. At that time, I had to manage 18 employees – 2 store managers, 4 supervisors and 12 operational staffs.

To say the least, managing them was hectic. The paperwork was awfully aplenty and often overwhelming. Reviewing new hiring applications, managing leave of absence, managing performance, handling job terminations, handling taxes, and so on.

And those are just human resource management. There are so many others to take care of – business operations, marketing, negotiating… oh my.

To cut long story short, both stores were struggling and finally I need to closed them down due to many reasons. But one of the biggest reasons is the lackluster human resource management.

I end up hiring unfit candidates; performance and morale were low; absenteeism uncontrollable; and if you think that firing them is easy, think again: Compensations, paperwork, job/resource reallocations, considering new candidates….

To say the least, it was disastrous.

Here’s a lesson learned: Running a business is not easy. Buy you CAN make it easier by using the right system. You can start by managing your human resources better using the available tools.

Just like what I mentioned early in this article, if I were to start yet another business service center today, I’d definitely use Comindware Tracker. In my opinion, it is one of the best workflow management and business process management software out there, for many obvious reasons:

  • You can keep track of everything from a bird’s eye view.
  • You can build and edit your workflow visually.
  • You don’t have to do manual resource allocation – everything is done by the system automatically.
  • You can automate process and workflow.
  • Live reporting.
  • And probably the best thing of all, it’s cloud-based: You and your team can access it anytime, anywhere.

Comindware Tracker can help you manage virtually anything – this includes human resources.
