Cloud HCM Suites for 1,000+ Employee Enterprises

Top Trending 2022

There are a variety of ERP, HR, and payroll providers competing for position in the human capital management suites market. This research should be utilised by application leaders in organisations with more than one thousand workers pursuing a cloud HCM suite approach to select providers for evaluation.

Strategic Planning Hypothesis
By 2025, sixty percent of worldwide midsize and large organisations will have invested in a cloud-deployed HCM suite for administrative HR and talent management, but they will still rely on 20 to 30 percent of their HR needs on alternative solutions.

Definition/Description of the Market
Cloud human capital management (HCM) suites as application suites that enable businesses recruit, develop, engage, retain, and manage employees.

The primary capabilities of cloud HCM suites for organisations with over 1,000 employees are as follows:
Administrative Human Resources: Employee information, organisational structure, employment life cycle transactions, role-based self-service, payroll and benefits administration. Additional value-added competences may include health and safety administration, employee well-being administration, and others.

Recruiting, onboarding, performance management, pay planning, career and succession planning, as well as learning and development include talent management.

Employees and managers have direct, personalised access to policy, procedure, and programme assistance through HR service management. Integrated case management, knowledge bases, digital document management, and virtual assistants may also be included.

Optional cloud HCM suite features for organisations with more than 1,000 employees include:
Time and attendance, absence management, and workforce scheduling are all components of workforce management (WFM). Functions linked to the mitigation of COVID-19, such as health screening and immunisation tracking, may also be incorporated.

Cross-functional enabling capabilities: These (often emergent) capabilities leverage data from the aforementioned capabilities and interact with them. They are increasingly entrenched in HCM suites through native development or acquisitions. These capabilities include talent analysis, workforce planning, employee voice (VoE), and skills management.

User experience (UX) is the most important consideration when selecting cloud HCM packages. Mobile access is an integral component of these services, and HCM suites' UX options continue to expand with the incorporation of virtual assistants. Chat integration with "new work hubs" (such as Slack, Facebook Workplace, and Microsoft Teams) enables users to conduct basic transactions or search for information without leaving their operational environment. Employees are able to perform tasks without logging into the cloud HCM suite's user interface (UI) directly as a result of the implementation of these approaches. This indicates that the market is approaching a time when "a excellent UX has no UI."

As firms support workforces with ever-increasing expectations for connection, interactions with applications have supplanted many in-person talks with HR managers. As applications become the "face" of HR departments, the demand for a compelling and tailored UX increases with the migration to digital HR management. HCM suites continue to support digital transformation initiatives by incorporating processes for, among other things, learning and development, payroll, and workforce management that are highly visible and regularly used.

Cloud HCM systems are still predominantly utilised for personnel management. Nevertheless, vendors are increasingly incorporating features to facilitate the administration of contingent and independent personnel. Commonly, firms employ a vendor management system or a freelance management system to manage such workers for sourcing, billing, and interface with operational systems. However, the adoption of a cloud HCM suite remains desired for maintaining compliance and expanding talent pools of both employees and non-employees.
