HCM system for talent management

Managing employees and their well-being at work is an integral part of any good HR department strategy. HCM tools allow for performance management and goal tracking, relevant training, and planning an employee's career within the company.

A good HCM contains tools to help manage an employee's performance by setting milestones and establishing reports during coaching sessions with the manager or mentor. It enables you to listen to the employee's needs or prevent problems by providing support and timely solutions.
It can help propel a career within the company by appropriately targeting training needs and opportunities for advancement. At Big Bang, with the support of their mentor, employees are encouraged to create a development plan based on their ideal career path.
An HCM allows for the tracking of internal training as well as external knowledge, certifications and degrees. A company looking for a specific profile is therefore able to validate a candidate's certifications easily. In the same way, if there is a notable gap in skills in a specific field, it is also possible to readjust the situation by suggesting that the employee receive appropriate training.

Decrease employee turnover

Not only does an HCM allow you to recruit better candidates, which at the source also contributes to improving your retention rate, it also helps to:

Raise the difficulties encountered by the employee during coaching sessions, for example, and offer adequate support.
Offer flexible solutions such as remote or hybrid work for a better work-life balance and thus improve employee retention.
Highlight good deeds and encourage recognition (kudos) given by colleagues.
Offer training relevant to the employee's chosen career path.
Reduce turnover by offering internal promotions based on combined performance data and boost your employees' careers.
Offer time off once an employee has accumulated a day to improve employee satisfaction and reduce burnout.

Reduce errors with HCM

Centralize and integrate employee data in one place for the entire company.
Reduce errors related to pay, vacation and sick days. An HCM system allows you to account for up-to-the-minute leave entitlements.

Tax and legal compliance

Laws are becoming increasingly complex and telecommuting has opened the door to the possibility of hiring international employees. How do you navigate this?

An employee in France will not be entitled to the same vacations and their compensation will be different from that of a Canadian or American employee. An employee's compensation, vacations and benefits must therefore take into account the laws applicable internationally, provincially and/or federally. An HCM helps reduce errors related to these specificities by respecting tax and legal compliance.

The management of sensitive data is also a subject that HCM solutions can handle. To be able to trust your HCM system in the management of personal information of your employees is essential, confidentiality and access to data must then be a central subject, and a guarantee offered by the HCM.

Here is a list of what must absolutely remain confidential:

employee data (addresses, date of birth...)
production data (customer, margin, working methods...)
personal data (marital status...)
medical data (sick leave, absences...)
payroll data (salary, bonuses...)
organizational data (shareholding, company assets...)
