Upcoming Webinar: Why HR Payroll should use an enterprise wiki!
Posted by Sarang Rajale in Events, Navigo
Leverage enterprise wikis to capture, structure and share HR/Payroll practices and knowledge.
Date: 15th June Time: 12 noon AEST
Most of today’s HR/Payroll operations are still in the 90′s with operating processes and know-how either written on paper, in a document on a shared drive, or worse, stuck in your ”soon to be retired” Payroll Operators’ head. This operational model is the cause of processing errors, inconsistency and business continuity risks.
With the emergence of affordable, user friendly enterprise grade wiki software, you can now capture key processes, share and retain knowledge and provide a platform for communication using a web browser.
Join us for a 30 minute webinar on how you can,
- Reduce your organisation’s brain drain
- Capture operating practices that can be followed and
- Share and collaborate knowledge among peers
- Integrate information from your HRIS, SharePoint or recruitment system
- Improve internal communication and visibility
- And more…
Register now to see how these latest enterprise technologies can streamline your operational HR/payroll requirements.

Which is the best HRIS in Australia?
Posted by Rod Bishop in HR Tech Report, HRIS, Navigo
It’s a good question. After all, if your organisation intends to invest in a human resources management system to be the source of truth for all HR data, to deliver payroll and/or talent management solutions, that investment could run into millions of dollars depending on the system and specific requirements.
It’d really pay, up front, to know what solutions you should be looking at, and how well they compare.
The great news is that with the results from the latest Australian HR Tech Report, we’ll be able to tell you. Not just our opinion, but straight from the mouths of system users around Australia. See below for a short teaser of what is to come:
HRIS in Australia:
Which are the most popular and most satisfactory?
The Australian HR Tech Report is a primary research study of HR technology in organisations with 500 or more employees in Australia. This year we received 250 valid responses representing a total workforce of over 1,000,000 employees.
Of the 250 organisations surveyed, a massive 28% use Chris21 by Frontier Software as their HRIS, twice as many as any other solution. This amount is more than represented in the last report, and may not be 100% representative of the entire marketplace, however it definitely places Chris21 as a major HR solution amongst others from Talent2, SAP and Oracle.
More interesting then, is how users of these systems review HRIS performance. We asked users to rate their satisfaction with HRIS on a scale from “Very Dissatisfied” to “Very Satisfied”. Here’s how they compared.
More users prefer Oracle e-Business to any other HRIS. Chris21 from Frontier, the most implemented, is comparable but not on top. Interestingly Alesco from Talent2 is rated both second most satisfactory, but also most dis-satisfactory, a great polarisation of opinions.
The above figures represent the entire market. It ranks satisfaction in aggregate across all areas of use.
However when the report is released in February we’ll be drilling into specific areas, and presenting HRIS use segmented by Industry and Organisation Size, plus illustrating how HRIS compare across specific solution areas as diverse as Payroll, Applicant Tracking and Performance Management.
Stay tuned!
