according to Gerhard Hartman, VP of Medium Business at Sage Africa and Middle East, who was presenting at the 2022 HR Indaba.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

HR departments need to use data analytics to do their jobs proactively.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sage research shows<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> that while 94% of business leaders have access to people data from HR, 68% don\u2019t rely on this data \u2013 so a gold mine of data is being wasted.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a flawed perception that technology replaces humans, whereas in reality, HR and payroll technology give your employees a voice by clarifying their challenges.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Key trends in HR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hartman said modern businesses must use data to lead for the future rather than lead from the past.<\/p>\n<p>This means organisations must use leading metrics to predict future outcomes and take preventative action rather than lagging metrics that only tell us what has already happened.<\/p>\n<p>Hartman provided five key trends shaping the current HR landscape:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Rethinking employee experiences \u2013 <\/strong>Use data to understand employee passions and aspirations so workers can reach their goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leading from the front \u2013<\/strong> By giving employees the flexibility to adapt to new challenges, leadership can help employees work optimally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real-time insight <\/strong>\u2013 Cloud technology gives you real-time insight into the employee experience, allowing you to act immediately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investing in the right tech <\/strong>\u2013 HR professionals benefit from choosing the right HR solution, one that offers advanced reporting, custom dashboards, automatic legislation updates, and accessibility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focusing on company culture <\/strong>\u2013 A great cloud HR solution provides spare time, which means you can focus on essential topics like diversity, equity, and inclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>De Keur Group<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A good example of the importance of the right cloud HR solution is De Keur Group, a family-run agricultural business with multiple entities.<\/p>\n<p>The group implemented Sage 300 People to help it capture, manage, and analyse its employee payroll and financial data.<\/p>\n<p>HR manager Johan du Plessis said the solution provides continuous, accurate, and real-time data on all three of De Keur Group\u2019s sub-businesses through a single pane of glass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can generate management reports at the push of a button and export them to Excel, giving senior executives the real-time information they need to support their decisions about the workforce,\u201d says Du Plessis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was especially helpful during the COVID-19 lockdown when employee numbers and business requirements were in constant flux.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If
