The connected workplace 

Disconnected systems, endless data entry and constant firefighting have left HR teams overworked, frustrated and stretched too thin.  

In just the last few months, multiple articles on HR burnout have surfaced with headline stats such as ‘a third of HR professionals are considering quitting due to burnout’, and ‘more than 40% of HR teams feel overwhelmed’.   

Instead of focusing on employees and strategic initiatives, HR professionals are drowning in administrative burdens, leading to mass stress and inefficiencies. 

What’s the solution? While there’s no silver bullet to HR stress, there are areas you can look to better leverage technology, helping you regain time and capacity. 

We recently hosted a webinar with Lizzy Barry, HR Director at IRIS Software Group, James Kenyon, Product Specialist at IRIS Software Group, and Claire Dawes, Payroll Administrator at The Federation of Jewish Services.  

During this webinar, our panel explored the challenges HR are currently facing and detailed their experiences with software to offer tangible advice on how you can relieve the pressure, reduce workloads and create a more efficient, empowered function. 

In this guide, we’ve summarised the key areas from the webinar, compiling a handy, digestible asset for you to use.
