Talent and personnel management are still pressing issues for SMEs

Personnel management systems are extremely valuable tools for HR managers, especially for SMEs, who are likely to be faced with significant talent management issues over the next 12 months, according to a recent research report into this matter.

A recent UK SME Confidence Index suggests most SME business leaders believe hiring, retaining and training employees will be challenging, while figures from the Rowntree Foundation show that this could be a growing problem over the next seven years. Their research shows that 14 million employees are expected to retire but just seven million people of working age will enter the market, leaving a seven million deficit.

While SME business leaders are confident that their sales will increase over the next 12 months, if they can’t find and retain the right people they won’t be able to take their businesses to the next level.

Tensor Personnel – the perfect tool to help SMEs streamline the talent management process

The first step in implementing a proactive talent retention strategy should be the development of a comprehensive employees’ database, capable of providing an array of useful information regarding each person’s skills, talents, interests, etc.

Tensor Personnel allows you to record a vast amount of personal information about your company staff, including here basic details, course attendance, educational history, language skills, professional institute memberships, skills, etc.

It’s also very important to point out that the management of employee training is a key component of Tensor Personnel. The Course Planner is where employees are booked onto course sessions to obtain skills that they require to perform their duties. Individual employee training records are updated automatically as courses are completed, along with qualifications / certification earned.
