Growing Companies Drowning in HR Tech Stack

“If susie in hr is currently achiving her duties, giving her an AI still means you cover her salary and the ai cost, to achieve susies duties. You spend more foe the same outcome. If sue, susie and susan each get an Ai and you make becky redundant, now there is a saving. If susie was already overloaded, and the ai now fixes her workload, well we knew she could handle it before so why bother? Productivity for the aake of productoviy doesnt help. Giving susie morw capacity to do things doesnt mean”

“New Job new story I was working as a functional consultant for a HRMS company, and I really know in and out how to set up a process in HRMS. But I now joined a new company where they have implemented the same software and I am helping this new company to set up new processes. However they are looping me into integration related mails and want me to give suggestions. I have never worked on any technical things including integration. I don't know how to navigate in this new company. Should I a”

“Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a new HRIS. We currently use BambooHR, but we’ve found that it no longer meets our needs. Our payroll will remain in Viewpoint Vista, so we’re looking for an HRIS that integrates well with Vista, although we know that can be challenging. We’re a construction company with: 500–600 employees, with significant growth expected over the next few years High turnover and high-volume recruiting Both hourly and salaried employees Frequent employee transfer”

“Automate it directly from the HRIS. Relying on a human inbetween will eventually fail.”

Can you suck the data straight out of the HR system?

“The custom attribute idea is solid but you've already spotted the real problem - HR maintaining a PDF and expecting IT to translate it is never going to work long term. Honestly the conversation that needs to happen is that DDLs are only as good as what's in AD. If the org chart doesn't match AD, one of them has to be the source of truth. Most places I've seen handle this properly have their HRIS feeding reporting lines into AD automatically - then manager-based DDLs actually ref”

“A PDF org chart is a terrible source of truth. Dynamic groups only work when backed by reliable, structured directory data. If HR owns the org structure, they should own maintaining the attributes that automation depends on.”

“Does anyone use Aiwyn? If you have what was your experience like? I’m in HR and fairly new to the firm (4 months) but I do payroll and I have to get them to send me a report weekly instead of being able to pull it myself then I have manually go In and compare hours.

“Every once in awhile, our HR and Finance dept need to send an email to all employees. The issue we have is that we have more 1,500 employees, all using Exchange online in several tenants. Microsoft has a bulk email limit that we run into. What is the work around? I see options such as High Volume Email for M365 but since many of the emails go to a different tenant, will that work? And how would the end user compose and send the email? I also see an option using Azure Communication Services but w”

“We are very excited to leave ADP WFN after a terrible implementation experience three years ago. We're between Rippling & UKG Ready. Small, older team, no IT support, no capacity to wrangle customization. Our biggest needs are the ability for employees to track time across multiple grant cost codes, reporting, seamless benefit file feeds, digital workflows and approvals, and smooth on boarding / off boarding. Integrated leave management would be a bonus. Sage Intacct is our GL. I am draw”

“I about a month in to my new HR job at a small (32 employees) construction company. I’m the first and only HR employee, so I’m pointing out a lot of issues that were previously not addressed. They hired a new employee (told me the same day they started, whole other beast), and they want her classified as 1099 to avoid paying benefits and taxes. However, they want her to work 16 hours at a hourly rate at first and then transfer to full time hours after a couple weeks. I told them you cannot have”

“I agree. There are problems with SharePoint and the sync client. Back in the 90s, people rolled out networks and servers primarily so they could share files. Then we added all kinds of other workloads and applications to those servers. Now, one by one, we've migrated those other workloads and applications out to the cloud. And 30 years later the file share - the original raison d'être for the server in the first place - is the last to go.”

“I've been wondering if this is just how everyone works or if my team's process is kinda outdated. We use Salesforce for basically everything, but somehow I still spend a ridiculous amount of time bouncing back and forth between it and Excel. Export data, clean it up, run formulas, make a bunch of edits, then import everything back and hope nothing breaks. At this point it almost feels like Excel is where the actual work gets done, while Salesforce is just where everything eventually live”

“our board meeting is next week and the CEO wants a comprehensive analysis of our global workforce health, talent distribution, and budget efficiency. The problem is our data is scattered across three different platforms and trying to connect the dots to find the actual "story" behind the numbers is driving me insane.

“I work in Controllership at “Cloud 9” where they’re pushing hard for AI adoption and automating work. Recently, a new person joined our team from another department with zero finance background, but came in first day telling us all how they will automate the job with AI. On said day, they couldn't figure out how to open or delimit a basic .csv file. Instead of learning the job, they spend days chatting with our internal AI tools to perform a basic reconciliation that can be done in Excel (th”

In this process if date changes we added condition which deletes all taps and creates a new one.

During onboarding day they will use tap to register passkey. We found that SSPR could be interfering what methods ar”

“Hi! We currently use Kronos/UKG/Workwell (why does it go by so many names??) as HRIS software.

“If your management love governance and the ability to inflict endless process and approvals on everyone then SNow is the micromanagement wet dream they have been hoping for. They will set up four instances of it and control all mods to it through them.

“This is helpful. Coworker helped with the original post. To answer your questions - internal or external - the reward system would require dashboard on our agent's web portal. We have all of the agents setup in our system with appropriate access to only view their own policies and each have their own login credentials. Based on talking with our IT team, it seems we would be able for the SQL to provide the data feed required to develop the tasks / reward tracking - and credentials from our we”

“I'll start by saying I am a systems guy caught in the middle of an internal company argument. My company is implementing a new Workforce Management software for the call center (Verint) with the idea that agents will enter their time off requests within Verint instead of in our HRIS. There will be an integration that sends those approved requests to the HRIS, with one glaring exception, comments. An agent can add a comment to a time off request in Verint, but Verint doesn't actually have”

I don't want yet another way to communicate with employees, just to layer on an outlet to create connection and visibility since the ADP UX is weak. For anyone using GoProfil”
