Technical requirements: Midland Heart is seeking a single provider who can deliver a human resources, payroll, and learning solution. The contract is expected to be an initial 3 year period with an option to extend up to a maximum contract duration of 10 years.
In April we launched a new corporate plan for 2019-2024, including a core element of which is our people strategy — people focused. To underpin the delivery of this strategy, we are seeking a solution for HR, payroll and learning management. A key aim of our new corporate plan is to become an employer of choice across our geography; using our employer brand to attract, recruit, develop and grow talent. Over the next five years, we plan to make record investments in the services we offer our customers, our properties and our people. Our digital transformation is already underway with the launch of new customer apps and investment in big data solutions. We want to ensure we have the right solutions in place to support our people strategy, delivering an adaptable solution which provides a greater degree of self service, enables a changing business environment, supports a changing reward and benefits portfolio and with the capacity to underpin smart working. We want to empower our people and managers to have greater control with increased self-service and reporting, supported by streamlined and automated transactional processes. We require powerful and intuitive mobile functionality to promote modern and smart ways of working. The project aims to:
— deliver easy to use, self-serve tools that support day-to-day needs and empower employees to deliver results; but which also enable our leaders and managers to manage their people and teams,
— create a single view of our colleague information that is updated automatically on a regular basis, making sure that our data is accurate and easy to manage,
— make it quicker, easier and safer to transfer information between different systems, to maintain accuracy and also save money,
— improve our reporting, including accuracy and availability, to support our resource planning, budgeting and compliance,
— adopt new, modern ways of working to solve problems rather than adapting existing processes if they are not fit for purpose,
— make sure our systems and processes are fully accessible and we can use them whenever and wherever you need them,
— provide tailored learning opportunities to support individual development needs, which are linked to our reward and recognition programmes,
— develop partnerships that deliver, collaborating with organisations who understand our vision and can support our on-going development.
