Wandsworth Borough Council launches integrated HR, payroll and talent system

Wandsworth Council is replacing its separate HR and payroll IT systems with an integrated solution for HR, payroll, talent management and workforce planning.

It is hoped the integrated solution, in conjunction with MidlandHR, will bring significant efficiency gains.

The council will be implementing a broad range of modules, including core HR and payroll management and administration, absence management, recruitment and online recruitment.

People development, learning events and employee and manager self-service modules will also be implemented. MidlandHR will provide people management data direct to line managers, delivering powerful graphical analysis of historical, current and future information and benchmark standards.

This business intelligence, all at the click of a button, will help the council manage the complexities of the HR function.

Robert Laban, project manager at Wandsworth Council, said: "We can take full advantage of the strides in technology that have been made within HR and payroll software in recent years, putting the council at the cutting edge of administering and managing its staff efficiently. The council will experience many benefits including a large reduction in data entry and increased confidence that information is accurate and current. As key processes become automated, this will lead to faster, more cost-effective processing, freeing up valuable public sector funds."
