What resource will be required internally for HRIS implementation?

Many businesses underestimate the internal time commitment required for HRIS implementation.

Who will I need to involve internally?

HRIS projects require input from multiple stakeholders.

Key Internal Stakeholders:

🔹 HR & Payroll: Core system users responsible for process configuration.
🔹 Finance: Ensures cost control and budget approval.
🔹 IT: Supports security, data migration, and integrations.
🔹 Operations & Customer Service: Ensures end-user adoption and ease of use.

Typical Resource Requirements:

1 to 1.5x vendor hours: If a vendor quotes 100 hours of work, expect your internal team to invest at least 100–150 hours.
Dedicated Project Team: At a minimum, HR, payroll, finance, and IT representatives should be involved.
Testing & Training Commitment: Teams must allocate time for data validation, system testing, and end-user training.

Next Steps: Conduct a resource assessment before starting the project.
