Ten Reasons for Adopting the GEWDC online HR, Risk Management, and Employee Benefits, and Payroll Processing System

Companies need to reengineer and streamline their activities with technology, not merely put new technology on top of old processes. This is a strong element of Lean Enterprise.

Employee Self-Service HR eliminates the non-value adding administrative tasks that can be handled automatically by the system

Employees' use of Web-based HR is likely to become as commonplace and widespread as the morning coffee break, and much more productive for the company

As much as 50% of HR staff time has been spent on making changes to personal data, forwarding forms, and other "administration" that can be eliminated by self-service. (source Towers Perrin)

As a revolutionary platform for eliminating most paperwork, linking previously separate databases and processing, and enabling instant concurrent information flows and transactions, the HR website can deliver products and services to employee customers at un-precedent levels of timeliness and cost-effectiveness.

HR functions on an HR website used by employees provides the modus operandi for the full integration of HR services and products at the employee level, where it may matter most

The overall improvement of the manager's leadership competencies, which includes the ability to think and act strategically, to manage projects, to act promptly and decisively in response to new and changing business needs.

Time and Attendance - in an economy where the average employer spends over 50% of its operating budget on employee related costs, and where alternate work schedules, workers compensation & disability costs are escalating, oversight and management of employee's time on the job has become an increasingly critical management responsibility.

All the things that make the Web powerful, its ability to lead users to the information that is of immediate interest to them, interact with users, provide a personalized view of information, and effect efficient transactions, have to be the benefit website's goal on an ongoing basis

The transformation, which calls for a paradigm shift that will change an HR department from a functionally fragmented, administrative cost center to a value-added, integrated organization aligned with corporate business strategies.

Highly cost effective with rapid and substantial Return on Investment (ROI)
