With Ciphr HR – an intuitive and easy-to-use HR software solution – organisations in the manufacturing industry can streamline and simplify people-related processes, giving your HR team more time to solve challenges and work strategically.
Ciphr’s cloud-based human resources (HR) software helps manufacturers stay connected and work efficiently when they need to most – even when operating from multiple sites.
How can people teams benefit from HR systems for manufacturers?
Top HR software benefits for manufacturing employees:
“The cost of our recruitment has significantly reduced through implementing Ciphr iRecruit. Previously, when 90% of our recruitment was done through agencies, our spend was about 70% higher than it is today.”
Ciphr HR can help you manage complex work patterns – with employees working flexibly or on zero-hour contracts – by becoming your central source of essential people data, while integration with specialist rostering and time and attendance software from our trusted partners.
You can also use Ciphr’s API – which enables data to be sent from Ciphr HR to other systems and to be received by Ciphr HR from other systems – to integrate Ciphr HR with a range of rostering and workforce management solutions, including solutions from FTS, HFX, and Shopworks. Ciphr HR’s configurable SaaS time and attendance solutions make it quick and easy to create staff schedules and handle holiday, shift and time-off requests.
Ciphr’s identity and background checking functionality empowers you to run background checks quickly and easily for both new candidates and existing employees, while at the same time maintaining data accuracy. We partner with trusted providers, Experian and TrustID, to deliver fast, accurate, and secure checks.
Using Ciphr’s solutions, HR teams in manufacturing companies can automatically initiate checks as specified and carry them out in the early stages of recruitment to ensure the right hire is made.
This flexible system enables you to record details of any kind of check, for any employee or candidate, including:
Against each check, you can record the validity, expiry dates, relevant documents, and any other pertinent information.
From sickness to holidays and annual leave, you can easily manage absences for your staff with the absence management tools within Ciphr HR.
Staff can see who else is off in their team or wider organisation, and log absences including holiday, annual leave and sickness. HR managers can also view, verify and report on sickness and holiday. For employees on a flexible work pattern, Ciphr HR also allows them to select which days and hours they were absent, so managers can track and manage absences accurately.
“Ciphr HR has taken away some of my admin tasks, and freed up my time to focus on proactive, not just reactive, tasks. I’d definitely recommend it.”
For companies in the manufacturing industry, skilled workers are essential to ensuring optimum efficiency and productivity – but they can be difficult to find and attract. Ciphr’s applicant tracking system (ATS), Ciphr iRecruit, enables you to find the best candidates with the right skillset.
Ciphr iRecruit – which can be integrated with Ciphr HR – enables you to publish vacancies to multiple websites, job boards, agencies, and social media channels, streamlining and simplifying the hiring process.
Once hired, you can use Ciphr Onboarding to make all staff feel like valued members of your company by providing them with access to relevant policy documents, handbooks, FAQs, and multimedia presentations, and informing and educating them about your organisation’s structure, history, ethos, and culture.
When employees are out and about on the job, and not always at their desk, how can you ensure that they know about the latest updates or business developments?
With Ciphr HR’s mobile functionality, you can provide users with fast and secure access to their core employee data on a range of devices. Via their mobile phone, users can search for colleagues through the employee directory, review holiday entitlement, submit leave requests, and view all time off. Managers can also review and update team information quickly and easily.
“It is a huge benefit that staff can log in from absolutely anywhere. It has helped to achieve total buy-in across the company, from the CEO down to staff in our branches.”
For companies in the manufacturing industry, HR software can help automate HR processes, improve efficiency, and create a happier, skilled workplace.
HR software for the manufacturing industry should have features like workforce management, attendance tracking, scheduling, performance management, training and development opportunities, safety management and the ability to integrate with payroll systems.
HR software automation helps manufacturers by streamlining processes, reducing manual effort, and improving efficiency. It aids in recruiting skilled workers, conducting background checks, managing workforce data, optimising scheduling, enhancing compliance and facilitating better decision-making.
Human resource software in manufacturing is crucial as it helps retain workers, reduces hiring needs by optimising workforce management, ensures compliance with regulations, streamlines processes, enhances communication and enables data-driven decision-making, ultimately improving overall efficiency and productivity.
