Lincoln College launches online talent management, HR and payroll platform

Lincoln College, has implemented an online platform to run its talent management, workforce planning, HR and payroll functions, with a view to developing employee self-service functions later this year.

The organisation, which employs 1,200 members of staff, has appointed Midland HR to run the system (iTrent), following a decision by the college to pursue a solution enabling greater visibility and control than delivered by their previous managed payroll service.

Becky Parry, payroll manager at Lincoln College said: "Having experienced some HR and payroll issues in the past with another supplier, we felt it was important for us to have complete visibility and control of our people information and processes.

"We wanted a single, modern solution for HR and payroll so we chose and implemented this one on-premise so we could manage the system internally. Thanks to iTrent's routine updates we will automatically be kept compliant in the event of legislative changes. We set an ambitious timescale for the project, but with our experienced team working alongside MidlandHR's experts, we had a relatively smooth implementation process."

Implementation of Self-Service will commence later this year, enabling devolvement of responsibilities to employees and line managers and considerably increasing efficiencies and data accuracy.
