Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face unique challenges managing their human resource (HR) functions. Often, these businesses have small HR teams. So business owners also get involved in HR tasks.

Let’s be straightforward here. This poses multiple challenges.
First and foremost, the business owner gets distracted from the core business, & the business suffers.

Secondly, HR is a specialised function. Admin and junior HR persons get overwhelmed with the complexities involved. This leads to inefficiencies in managing attendance, payroll, leave management, recruitment, & onboarding. And errors in adhering to compliance.

An unreliable attendance system can lead to loss of productivity and revenue.

An inaccurate payroll system can result in legal penalties and employee dissatisfaction.

Poor leave management can negatively impact employee morale and retention rates.

Ineffective recruitment and onboarding processes can result in poor-quality hires that affect the overall health of the business.

To address these issues, SMEs need an efficient HRMS software solution like OpportuneHR.

Not just any other HR software , specifically, OpportuneHR: Because it is created specially for SME businesses! Addressing your unique scenarios.

If your business has 50 to 500 employees, this is the HR software for you.

It offers several benefits that streamline various human resource functions. Such as attendance tracking, payroll processing, leave management, recruitment automation, and onboarding support. All customised for SME business requirements.

Let us give you some specific examples for you to appreciate why OpportuneHR is the best HRMS software for SME business.

Our vast study and surveys suggest:

SMEs face 5 major challenges in business growth.

• HR operations take too much time.
  Integration of various Excel sheets and desktop data creates discrepancies in attendance and payroll generation. A good amount of HR team’s time goes into solving these issues.So, they don’t get time for policy matters, documentation, employee engagement. Owners also get involved in HR and admin.
• Productivity and discipline issues in the organisation.
  In spite of business owners trying their best, it is difficult to create a professional work culture. Without which the business can’t scale up.More importantly, employees seem to work, but it doesn’t reflect in business outcomes.
• Challenges in hiring and retention of good talent.
  While the business grows, the company doesn’t get good employees to handle the growth. And when good talent joins, it is difficult to retain them.
• Business owners don’t get a sense of what’s happening in the organisation.
  They are often not in the know, how well the organisation is working on a day-to-day basis. While data is there, they don’t know how to use it for making business decisions.
• Government rules keep changing and evolving. Creating compliance issues.
  The HR team finds it difficult to cope up with these changes. Resulting in compliance issues.

OpportuneHR takes care of all these issues for you!

Let’s address these factors one at a time.

Smooth and speedy HR operations! 

When the organisation is small, it is fine to run the organisational HR through Excel sheets and desktop admin software. But as soon as the employee strength grows, these solutions fall short of expectations.

OpportuneHR offers many advantages over desktop software. From recruiting to onboarding, training and appraisals, to the F&F, OpportuneHR covers the entire employee lifecycle.

Employee records are well maintained on Opportune’s cloud management software.

Especially if you have an office in the city and factory locations elsewhere, our cloud-based software solution integrates the data in real time, resulting in an ‘always updated’ employee database.

OpportuneHR offers Employee self-service portal.

Desktop solutions are available only to admins. And employees need to go to them for all information.

But OpportuneHR includes employee dashboard, too. And that too, at a cost lower than ‘admin-only’ desktop solutions.

• Employee dashboard and employee self-service feature help SME organisations in so many ways–

1. Saves time:ESS eliminates the need for employees to contact HR personnel for basic HR tasks such as updating their contact information, accessing payslips, or requesting time off.By providing easy access to this information, ESS saves employees’ time and frees HR personnel to focus on more strategic tasks.
2. Increases efficiency:ESS consolidates all the necessary HR information into one user-friendly gateway, making it easier for employees to access and manage their data.With ESS, employees no longer have to navigate through various HR systems or wait for manual approvals, resulting in increased efficiency.
3. Empowers employees:ESS empowers employees to take control of their HR-related tasks, such as updating their personal details, applying for leave, or accessing training details.By providing employees with the tools to manage their own data, ESS reduces their dependence on HR personnel and fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility.
4. Eliminates errors:ESS helps eliminate errors in record-keeping by allowing employees to cross-check their data and correct any discrepancies. It also lowers the risk of errors caused by manual data entry or miscommunication.
5. Enhances communication:ESS promotes better communication between employees and their managers by providing a platform for employee requests and manager approvals. It enables managers to review and respond to requests in a timely manner, increasing transparency and accountability.

Payroll & Taxation is easy!

Plus, the compliances.

OpportuneHR’s payroll software is a blessing for SME organisations here. It is so real time and seamless, you can generate payroll on any given date. All compliances and complex calculation formulas are inbuilt into the system.

Opportune HRMS takes a lot of HR operation load from HR managers. Saves effort and time.

Enhancing productivity and discipline in the organisation.

Business owners often complain, ‘people seem to work all the time, but work doesn’t get done!’

This happens because of 2 factors.

1: Lack of clarity on employee roles and expectations.

In SME organisations, employee roles are often not well-defined. The job description is either not there, or employees are not clear about it.

With OpportuneHR. this is not the case. Employees have one click access to company policies and other documents.

It creates the right expectations for both, employees as well as their managers. And helps improve productivity of the organisation. Because people are not involved in unnecessary tasks.

When they work, it is related with their responsibility and organisation goals.

2: Lack of alignment between work done and organisation objectives.

The other factor contributing to ‘all work but no results’ feeling is lack of alignment between business objectives and the work being done.

Here our well-designed timesheet module helps your HR team and the line managers. Timesheet goes much beyond time tracking. It is a tool for analysis.

As a business owner you can always see what work an employee is engaged in most of the time? How many work hours a team is taking in carrying over certain projects?

Any inconsistency with industry benchmarks will lead to deeper analysis. And that will lead to better solutions and productivity.

Acquisition and retention of good talent

This is a real pain area for SME organisations. Because good candidates look for much more than just the salary. They want better work culture, good employee experience and potential for personal growth.

OpportuneHR helps you increase retention and decrease employee turnover by smoothening the hiring process.

Recruiting Talent:

Imagine a scenario where you wish to hire a sales manager with experience in bigger organisations. Obviously the candidate talks with multiple companies.

In such a competitive scenario, a quick response makes a difference. OpportuneHR. supports SME HR teams here —

Applicant tracking system, parsing of CVs, job descriptions and employee benefits details are readily available. Interview scheduling feature helps the HR in engaging the potential candidate professionally.

These features make the talent acquisition and recruitment process professional and painless.

Better onboarding experience:

The time between offer acceptance and actually joining the organisation is crucial. OpportuneHR’s onboarding features like uploading and rectification of documents on the employee portal help in such scenarios.

A professional employee onboarding process

Again, employee self-service plays an important role. When the employee can upload his or her details digitally, and get access to all company policies, his job description, employee benefits details on day 1, he knows he is working in a professional organisation. This sets the tone for future success.

Employee engagement

OpportuneHR. helps create a professional work culture. From gamification to rewards and recognition, and chatbot, it has a wide range of features for engaging employees.

Employees are updated regularly through notifications on their dashboard. So they know who are the new employees joining their team, and are aware of upcoming birthdays and other group activities organised by HR.

Most importantly, they get timely updates about company policies and news.

On the growth front, employee training is an important area.

Employees are notified of upcoming training programs, and any certification opportunities available. Awards, rewards, and other recognition create a good buzz in the office for them to get involved in the organisation growth.

By embracing our employee engagement features, SME businesses can stay competitive, productive, and successful.

Auto updation of government policies and compliances.

Government rules and guidelines change so often, it is difficult to follow them even for HR teams in big organisations. For HR teams in SME business it is even more difficult.

Here OpportuneHR’s cloud-based software is a blessing. Because all relevant rules are updated in the HRMS software on a consistent basis.

Also, when some of the company policies are not in adherence to the government guidelines, the software creates warnings. This is helpful for the HR team as well as for the business owner.

Especially if you have business units in multiple locations and teams, the holidays as well as statutory requirements vary. That too is easy with OpportuneHR.

With the help of such key features in Opportune HRMS software, you can automate and ensure adherence to relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

Employers need to know what’s happening in the organisation.

In today’s world, data and analytics are the most vital factor in running a professional organisation. For remaining competitive.

We already covered some of this above:- Time tracking trends, timesheets etc. helps you understand how departments and managers are performing.

With our wisely designed and decision-friendly reports, the HR team can do the analysis and update management about HR budgeting and costing.

For example, what is the cost per employee? What is the employee turn over ratio in the last quarter or the year? You can see the correlation between sales turnover, production level and employee strength. The possibilities are immense.
