How to support 30 per cent growth in your business

As a company, one of your goals is to enable growth. You want to sell more products or services to be able to innovate your ideas and strengthen your strategies. But the growth of your business brings unique challenges you probably didn’t think about before it started. 

For example, when you grow around 30% per year, your internal processes will have to change drastically to follow the external changes of your company. In this article, we will explain to you which changes you should implement and how it helps your business. 

Support growth with one tool and central data

You probably recognise this. Onboarding is done by one tool, and for salary administration, you use another. This process probably happened because you first started using one tool, and when your business grew, added another. Chances are you are satisfied with the functionality of each tool in itself, however, most of these tools aren’t compatible with each other. 

The data of your company is scattered and you don’t have a lot of insight into what is really happening. By switching to one tool which offers all the functionalities you need, you can get central data. By knowing what is happening in your business, you can optimise certain processes and work on innovating your product or service. 

Support growth by scaling your HR solution

Centralising your HR tool is a great first step in your process to support growth in your business. However, when you are going to use an HR solution that is not able to scale, you will find yourself in the same spot you found yourself in earlier. 

By using an HR solution like Personio, which is fit for scaling, your business will be future-ready. The functionalities you use today aren’t the same as they were yesterday, nor will be tomorrow. To enable that growth, you’ll have to think about a solution that will not only have the functions you need but can also offer you functionalities you might need in the future. 

Your business is always changing, and your HR solution should change with you. In this way, you won’t be inhibited in your growth, just because you can’t do or process what you want. 

Support growth through efficiency  

After you find your dream tool for your HR tasks, it is time to not only purchase it but also use it to optimise your processes. A lot of the time growing businesses have to shift quickly in their internal processes. Because you have a lot of new employees or customers, some of the actions need to be taken quickly and you don’t have the time to really think about the process you’re going to use. 

This results in inefficient processes and a lot of admin work that nobody wants, and actually needs, to do. By critically looking at your processes and how you do your HR tasks, you will discover which processes can be optimised. By optimising your processes, your HR tasks will mostly be about strengthening and innovating your business processes instead of focusing on administrative tasks. Here is a list of 6 time-Consuming HR tasks you can easily eliminate.

An HR solution supports growth 

Whether you are looking for efficiency, scaling or centralisation of your processes, it is important to find an HR solution that will support your demands and needs, and will focus on the growth of your organisation. 

Write down what is important to you in an HR solution and which functionalities it at least needs. Whether the solution is scalable or will be suitable in the far future. 

By prioritising your wants and needs, you can get a view of which solutions will be suited best for your company and will support you in the growth of your business.
