The more employees your company has, the more complicated and time-consuming it is to manage and control your personnel data. Especially after the introduction of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, even stricter requirements have to be complied with than already.
What is HR management software?
Of course, compliance with the GDPR is not enough. A large number of other processes that have to do with your staff in general and your individual employee in particular must be able to be carried out in a coordinated and resource-saving manner. These include, for example:
- Recruiting
- Entries and exhibitions
- Performance reviews and appraisals
- Payroll accounting
- Absence and vacation planning
- And many more
This is where HR management software comes into play as a convenient solution. It bundles all information and processes in one tool, making organization much easier. If you make sure when choosing your software that it actually covers all the necessary requirements, you will save a lot of time and money with it. But what are these requirements? And which selection criteria should you consider in order to find the right solution for you?

Selection criteria for your software
Personnel management within a company is divided into different areas:
- Personnel planning: This includes the determination of personnel requirements and the budget.
- Personnel development: Examples are employee appraisals, talent development, on- / offboarding, etc.
- Recruitment: This means, for example, recruiting, applicant management and hiring.
- Remuneration management: i.e. pay slips, bonuses, premiums, etc.
- Personnel organization: Vacation management, recording of days off, etc. must be bundled and, in the best case, made available to employees for self-inspection or self-control.
Depending on which areas you combine in your company, the software must be suitable for this. It is therefore advisable to create a catalog of requirements. In addition to the focus on the content, it is important to pay attention to technical and monetary factors: What infrastructure do you have and how much budget can you spend? Reputable providers of such personnel management tools will help you decide what is important to you. A tip: Make sure that the software can be designed individually and, optimally, can still be expanded or changed afterwards.
HR-Software from EcholoN
EcholoN pays special attention to the staff in your company. For example, a few years ago personnel management software was developed that does not just work downwards. Employees have unrestricted access to their personnel files, which means they can change master data or plan vacation times, for example. On the one hand, this autonomy ensures greater employee satisfaction and, on the other hand, saves a lot of time.
The software is based on the EcholoN file and document management. The data of your employees and applicants are entered in the knowledge database, for which specially set authorizations allow and control the respective access. Not only are sensitive data safely stored, this process automation also saves employee resources.
Advantages of HR-Software

It contains integrated, preparatory payroll accounting, the possibility of performance appraisal, uncomplicated applicant management, simple tools for on- / offboarding, a digital personnel file with manageable access rights, the opportunity to plan vacation, a time recording tool, a simple option for document management and all of that under the guise of GDPR compliance.
A great advantage of the software is that it can be individually compiled and also edited afterwards. Experienced EcholoN employees will help you create the "tailor-made suit" for your company. They recognize your needs in the company and can use this assessment to create an exact software variant.
Of course, you also have the opportunity to contact our employees with questions and suggestions afterwards, because for EcholoN the service does not end with the sale of software.
