If your business is like most, then people are at its center and people drive it forward. These human resources are valuable, so finding a way to manage them effectively supports the performance of the entire enterprise. Longtime business leaders understand that this is easier said than done: Regular tasks like attendance and payroll, as well as special circumstances that arise unexpectedly require continuous attention to detail and a great deal of patience.

"People," emphasizes the manufacturer. "They're the emotional, the inspirational, the sometimes confrontational, and the always human piece of human resources. Our vision is to enable the Dynamic HR professional to be more strategic, help drive employee and organizational development focus, and enable a more empowered and connected workforce."

Here are some of the ways the Dynamics NAV can improve HR management at your business:

• Streamline hiring. One of the biggest responsibilities HR professionals face is placing the best candidates in the right positions. This means managing a large volume of applications, listings and other hiring information. The NAV places this information at your HR department's fingertips so nothing ever gets lost in the shuffle. 
• Track and disburse benefits. Distributing benefits like health insurance and vacation time can be overwhelming and error-ridden in a manual business environment. ERP platforms like the NAV give administrators a consistent way to view, update and monitor benefit distribution. 
• Manage time, attendance and payroll. This is a human resources task that rarely strikes administrators by surprise, but is instead a regular and methodical function of the business. It can be costly and time consuming to manage these statistics and payments manually, so ERP relieves administrators of the process. 
• Keep an eye on company materials. From computers to credit cards, your company may issue a variety of physical property to management and other employees. The NAV can keep a clear record of these transactions so your valuable items aren't lost or unaccounted for. 

Furthermore, Microsoft technology for ERP HR management is expandable and regularly updated, so your investment is optimized continuously. Our clients have embraced the flexibility of this solution to address diverse needs, including those that arise years down the road. According to the Houston Chronicle, the average HR administrator spends 18 percent of his or her time on payroll alone. Imagine the freedom and flexibility of reallocating those resources to more useful and purposeful ends. Businesses can benefit from automating all of these human resources tasks to reduce waste at all levels. 

"Unified, trustworthy data is crucial," explains Shawn Price of Forbes. "Nearly a third (32 percent) of organizations surveyed said that having a single source of the truth is one of the biggest challenges for running and maintaining core HR systems. And 42 percent believe that finding a single solution that will suit their needs is a challenge."
