The Real Cost of HR Busywork (And How to Eliminate It)

Image
HR teams are spending a staggering amount of time and money on administrative work instead of growth-driving and strategic activities. Time is a critical resource, yet over one-third of leaders spend one to five hours weekly on HR administration, with nearly a quarter spending six to ten hours. This administrative burden directly conflicts with business priorities. According to the Paychex Business Leaders Priorities survey of 750 U.S. Business Development Managers and HR Development Managers, 63% cite growth as their top priority for 2026. Fortunately, HR technology offers a solution—the right balance of automation and human support allows HR teams to focus on what really matters. The Time Tax: Where 40+ Hours Disappear Every Month Collectively, time spent on administration can consume more than a full workweek each month.

Image
Spotsaas tracked 150,000+ buyer journeys to reveal how HR and payroll software decisions are made before vendors are ever involved.

How AR-driven Employee Engagement Initiatives are Picking Up Pace

Image
When was the last time you read, in full, an all-staff email? The latest global research shows that one in three employees never clicks on company emails. And of those who do, only 34% read more than half.  Companies everywhere are grappling with one common problem: engaging their employees.  They are competing intensely to retain top talent and provide meaningful employee experiences, yet most workplace communications are still stuck in the early 2000s, reliant on PowerPoint decks, PDF reports and all-staff emails. These formats are skimmed quickly and forgotten just as quickly. Outside of work, digital experiences have transformed dramatically over the past decade. Social platforms have refined UX, algorithms and design to keep users engaged and immersed, and content is visual, interactive and personalised. Why should communication at work feel any less engaging than the digital experiences people enjoy outside it? Evolution of employee communications  One-d...
