Workplace tech was designed to accelerate operations and help businesses grow. And yet, many businesses face challenges created by too much tech.
For example, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Paycom found that HR and payroll professionals use an average of 6.17 HCM providers.* With 77% of them storing employee data in multiple HCM databases, 71% say they can’t transfer or share data between the databases.
Businesses rely on employee data to help them make more informed decisions. But when data is spread across multiple systems, they have to navigate to find it, leaving accuracy and completeness in question. No wonder 80% of those HR and payroll pros have trouble creating accurate workforce reports.
Employees at every level should have instant access to the data they need when they need it. And the only way to access data instantly and accurately — and make that data work for you — is by storing it in a single database.
Paycom’s single HR and payroll software was built on a single database. Our easy-to-use tech empowers employees to enter and manage their own data. With all employee data stored in one place, it’s easy for everyone to access what they need right away. Simply ask IWant, our command-driven AI engine, and you get answers in a snap.
And since it’s pulling from data employees entered themselves into our single database, the results are always accurate.
