Personalised payroll adds value to your business

Most HR departments are looking for new and unique ways to increase employee engagement by creating positive experiences. While such gimmicks as free breakfast Fridays and fruit bowls are great ways to show your staff you care, many businesses are guilty of ignoring what is possibly the most important touch point between company and employee; payroll. 

Personalising the payroll experience offers a unique opportunity to create positive interactions, real connections and improved engagement. Utilising the one process you can pretty much guarantee your staff regularly engage with, will help you add real value to your business.

DIY HR software 

Empower your workers to take control of their own information by subscribing to an online HR portal that allows them to update their own details, download payslips, manage holiday and much more. This innovative feature not only connects staff directly with management but also streamlines communication, freeing up your HR department from completing such admin tasks themselves. 

Add a message on the payslip

Adding a personalised message on payslips gives you a direct line of conversation with your employees. The messages can be anything you like, from celebrating someone who’s done exceptionally well that month to inspirational quotes to providing company updates. By making sure the messages are positive and interesting, you’ll ensure your staff actively look out for them each time they open their payslip. 

Organise a reward programme 

You can use your payroll to offer a reward or benefit programme for your employees, whether that’s a one-off bonus for a particularly successful month or a perk that comes as standard with the company. Ask your employees what rewards they would like most to ensure they get real value out of the bonus and therefore improve wellbeing and happiness. By rewarding your staff in this way, you’re letting them know that you recognise their hard work and that they play an important part in the success of the business. They are therefore more likely to invest more time, effort and energy into their role.
