Are your employees afraid they’ll be replaced by technology? Are you sure? A global survey
Despite fears perpetuated by dystopian novels and sci-fi films, technology is not the enemy. New tech tools can actually make your employees’ jobs easier and bring deeper job satisfaction. Accounting and payroll software is at the forefront of a software revolution that makes people more important than ever: as data analysts and strategic advisors – and that includes Microsoft Dynamics® GP Payroll with affordable add-ons.
Easier Data Collection
New technology takes the burden of data collection off your employees. When systems are automated, your staff knows the software is always working in the background to gather every piece of necessary data.

Improved Communication
Software also improves communication and keeps payroll and HR processes moving, even when your staff is on vacation. Sensitive documents can be sent through
Enhanced Productivity and Profitability
When your company invests in technology and integrates it into company procedures,
New reports generated by the software can enlighten management about persistent issues like payroll errors, overpayments, resource waste, and employees who are ignoring crucial protocols. You can implement new rules to manage costs, like setting an overtime hours limit in the software to prevent labor overages.
In fact, if new technology is integrated into the organization properly, employees will welcome it.
- Implement new technology with proper guidance from management
- Provide proper awareness around the company
- Be prepared to justify the changes
- Train people how to implement the new technology themselves
