Successfully introducing HR software - from selection to go-live!

Needs analysis - requirements catalog - selection - implementation: How to master every phase without stumbling blocks

This training is held in German.
The introduction of HR software moves every HR department and is expected as an essential development step by the organization. A tailor-made solution takes the pressure off you as HR manager , leaving more time for employee support and development. So don't wait until outdated systems hinder your progress! But with over 500 solutions in the DACH region, the question arises: Which software suits your individual processes and requirements? This training shows you how to select the optimal HR software through a well-founded needs analysis and a structured catalog of requirements. We accompany you step by step: from market research to the creation of a requirements specification and internal communication. Avoid costly mistakes and benefit immediately from actionable tips.
