Your guide to HR processes, teacher retention, payroll management and maximising efficiencies in your school
HR systems play a crucial role in streamlining operations and freeing up time and resources. The rapid development of automations means that schools are now embracing digital transformation but are yet to be ahead of industry leaders.
With that in mind, we have created this guide as reference point for any schools or academies currently reviewing their HR and Payroll systems for better efficiency, teacher retention, engagement and performance.
Introduction
Managing HR and Payroll in schools and academies is no walk in the park, especially when staff don’t have the tools they need to succeed.
Many schools still rely on manual processes, paper-based filing and legacy systems that don’t match up to the demands of modern work.
Lack of integration and connectivity between standalone systems and sources of data is common, which often leads to major inefficiencies and poor working experiences...
Pension problems
Popular pension plans like the Teachers’ Pension and Local Government Pension scheme have seen many changes over the past decade, bringing extra layers of complication for the average school or MAT.
Again, the fact that payroll managers in schools are dealing with various salaries, pay scales and types of employees can cause headaches for those in charge of pension planning.
Turning automation to your advantage
It used to be that HR and business leaders within schools would spend hours each week on recurring manual processes and paper-based filing.
In these situations, it’s easy for excessive admin to get in the way of more important tasks and make stuff feel their workload is unmanageable – and that’s where automation and AI tools can make a huge difference to your employee lifecycle.
