The business world is ever-evolving. It’s a fact of running an enterprise that it pays to be on the bleeding edge. Innovation is the aim of the game, whether you’re a brand new medical startup or an established business looking to improve your processes.

One realm that seems to fall by the wayside somewhat is that of human resources: handling your employees is just as important your payroll solutions. However, we’d make the argument that often these two things can be intertwined in the same software, and Deloitte seems to agree.

A culmination of processes

In its new report Human Capital Trends 2016, Deloitte discusses how, as human resources become more digitised, there are becoming far more holistic: an evolution, not a revolution. In Deloitte’s future-gazing, this takes the form of all-in-one “appification” of interacting with your employees, and perhaps more importantly, vice versa.

The barriers between the work world and the private world of an employee are rapidly dissolving – mobile devices give us constant connection whether we at home or elsewhere. Smart devices are quickly becoming the norm, and business technologies are learning to take advantage of that.

Payroll and human resources

We can already see these developments occurring. In a previous interview with Rajeev Dixit of DBS Accountants, we discussed how automated payroll solutions were not just about the numbers – they offered a more holistic view of your business, depending on the packages that you bought into.

Deloitte’s findings show how this is not just an isolated perspective. An agile approach is quickly becoming the norm, while analytics and data reporting are built into the very foundation of the software that you are using.

Clearly, the lines between human resources, payroll services, business planning and every other part of running an enterprise are becoming blurred.
