Global HR & Payroll Software Provider Adds New Features

Global HR & Payroll Software Provider Adds New Features

We have added new enhancements and features for version 4.14 product suite, including an international regulator that helps HR administrators manage localization across countries, new payroll administration and compensation processing capabilities and an improved user interface.

“These enhancements – which include features suggested by our customers in focus group sessions – open up new areas of opportunity for both HR administrators and employees,” said Shafiq Lokhandwala, CEO of NuView Systems, Inc. “As these NuViewHR® enhancements demonstrate, we remain focused on addressing the evolving needs of the HR community with a complete and comprehensive solution to help organizations work more efficiently, make better, more strategic decisions and positively impact their business."

Enhancements to NuViewHR® version 4.14 include:

• The International Regulator, enables HR administrators to easily manage employee data, define fields, controls, hide or show menus and tabs and set other items for each specific country they operate in, within the standard product, without any special programming or customization. This ensures that country-specific needs are met.
• HIRE Act Support, allows HR administrators determine and track employees participating in The HIRE Act program. Payroll data may be audited against HR data as a check to ensure that both parties attain the greatest gain under this federal program.
• New Pay Steps, gives HR administrators the ability to keep a pay range and add steps as a separate combination, preventing the pay range from growing exponentially.
• Centralization of NuViewHR Messaging, enables system administrators to easily modify all NuViewHR® message text. All messages are now fully translatable so that employees read messages in their native language.
• Compensation Processing, now uses standard tables and forms that make data storage, retrieval and importing easier during the compensation planning period. Multiple currency functionality allows compensation administration to consider both corporate base currency, as well as employee local currency amounts.
• New Standard User Interface Theme, “Business Dark Green,” or clients may apply their own branding.

NuViewHR® Version 4.0, first introduced in 2005, is a fully-integrated product suite that has developed into the most advanced, flexible and complete HRIS/HRMS available on the market today. Used in more than 40 countries, it supports multiple languages, currencies and country specific localizations for fields, workflows, rules and reports.

NuViewHR® includes advanced capabilities such as business process flows (BPFs), Sarbanes Oxley controls and tracking, integrated metrics, single sign on, web services integration with benefit carriers, other payrolls and point solutions, and supports multiple web browsers on an open technology platform.

The product suite also delivers a unique toolset that allows customers to configure/customize virtually every aspect of the HR system, in any language, without any hard-coding.

The HRIS Solution for The Global HR Management Challenge

Customer:  Hill International 
Industry: Consulting Services

# of Employees: 2,600
# of locations: 80

Modules Licensed: HR & Benefits, Employee Self- Service, Manager Self-Service, Candidate Self-Service (CSS), , Training Administration, Performance Management, Succession Management, Compensation Management.

THE CHALLENGE: GLOBAL HR MANAGEMENT

NuView Systems has provided Hill International’s employees, managers and executives with an HRIS platform that has helped the company enhance its infrastructure and to scale in size and effectiveness. With its worldwide employee base, Hill International needed an advanced HRIS platform that not only addressed all aspects of HR -- managing advanced workflow processes, performing performance reviews, coordinating the approval process -- but also support its operations around the world. Prior to using NuViewHR, Hill International found it difficult to implement effective processes for all of their HR needs across its global locations. Hill International needed an HRIS platform that could reduce confusion when employees moved between countries and projects – a key to increasing employee productivity. 

NUVIEWHR CONSOLIDATES EMPLOYEE AND MANAGER HR FUNCTIONS INTO AN ALL-IN-ONE PLATFORM

NuViewHR has had a tremendous impact on the strategic relevance of HR at Hill.

One of the key benefits of NuView’s platform is its ability to consolidate global employee data and all HR management functions under a single platform – going beyond core HR & Benefits Administration and including strategic functions like Performance Management and Compensation.

PROVEN RESULTS WITH NUVIEWHR

NuView’s HR System extends beyond the HR Departrment. C-level Managers at Hill note that the system has had a direct impact on the bottom line.

With NuViewHR’s help, Hill International has been able to cut down on-boarding time of new employees from 10 days to between 1 or 2 days, allowing billable resources to become available much earlier than in the past.

MEETING COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

Since implementing NuViewHR, SOX remediation tasks on employee records went from an average of 48 open tasks, to 28 open tasks and then zero open tasks. Hill has saved as much as $25,000 on reduced compliance and audit fees from remediation around employee related processes.

NuViewHR also provides standard compliance reports for EEO, VETS and OSHA to help Hill produce these required government reports, and continually monitor trends and statistics on their workforce regarding diversity, hiring practices and health and safety.

THE FUTURE WITH NUVIEWHR

Hill International continues to grow with an average of 50-100 job openings per month.  The company will continue to look to NuView and its HRIS platform to support their HR needs worldwide.

The status of the NuView System is discussed at every board and senior management meeting, demonstrating the far reaching effects that this system has on the entire enterprise. Hill’s employee base has responded positively to the new HR system and the effort to bring additional functionality to employees in the future will be minimal because all modules use the same database and user Interface, reducing or eliminating the learning curve for users.

“NuView Systems has become a meaningful partner to support Hill’s global human capital management needs, producing very positive outcomes,” stated Michael Petrisko, CIO of Hill International. Cathy Emma, Hill SVP/CAO stated, “NuView’s mission is ‘Making HR Strategically Relevant’ for its client/partner companies, and they’re on the way to making this a reality at Hill International.”

Using Social Networking Sites in Hiring?

More and more employees and management people are using social networking sites in their personal lives. And they're also starting to use social networking sites in work-connected ways...including in their job searches and their hiring process.

So, the question arises: When you and your company are ready to begin hiring again, should you use social networking sites to attract job applicants and to check out job applicants?

Shafiq Lokhandwala, CEO of HR technology firm NuView Systems, cautions against using the purely social networking sites in the hiring process. Among the most popular social networking sites are Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. People use these sites to connect with each other and to inform others about what they are doing, to generate discussions, and to follow each other. They're mostly for posting and exchanging personal information.

Lokhandwala distinguishes the LinkedIn site as a professional network rather than a social networking site.

"If the job you're looking to fill is a low level job that anyone can do," says Lokhandwala, "then social networking sites can work." But there aren't that many of those types of jobs anymore. If the job or position requires levels of essential knowledge, experience, and skill... then going to social networking sites to learn about people has risks.

1. Social sites are not places where people share information, photos, and videos about their professional lives. They're sharing about their social lives, their hobbies, their opinions, tastes and personal preferences. "In society we have a work face and a social face," Lokhandwala explains. "In work you may not have any alcohol but in your personal life you can. So the fact that a social site is more about what you do in a social setting causes people who look at it from a professional perspective to come to wrong conclusions." "So you may be depending on inaccurate information if you depend on what you learn from a social networking site," he says.

2. You may generate too many applications and too much information. Says Lokhandwala: "If you're trying to recruit in social networking sites you may be recruiting where your best candidates may not be. If you get your recruiting out into these general spaces you may get people who are aspiring for a job but who are not actually qualified. You'll get a huge amount of applicants without the accurate information you need."

3. Inaccurate information is a risk. "When you look at information on Facebook or Twitter without the applicant's permission, and you draw conclusions on that information, you are potentially relying on inaccurate, speculative information," Lokhandwala continues. "You're relying on social situations that may have occurred that have no bearing on the individual's ability to do the job. It may lead you to infer this person is not qualified for the position you're looking to fill.

5 HRMS Requirements designed to bridge HR and IT departments

IT is from Mars, HR is from Venus- Bridging the gap with 5 HRMS requirements that will satisfy everyone.

Everyone has heard the saying that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. When it comes to implementing a global human resource management system (HRMS), the same could be said for an organization's information technology and human resource departments.

In this HRMS "marriage," it's assumed HR is better able to understand what type of communication is necessary and the best manner and timing with which it must be presented to achieve strategic outcomes. IT, on the other hand, is presumably better able to handle the security imperatives and the underlying capabilities and tools needed to achieve these outcomes. However, without taking the time to truly identify each other's role and, more importantly, understand each other's strengthsand weaknesses, this marriage may be heading for an irrevocable and bitter divorce.

5 Requirements:
Scalable infrastructure
Strong reporting and query capability
Workload automation
Tight integration and import/export
Advanced workflow
