People-motion brings HR tool to manage restructuring

LONDON, UK: People-motion will be unveiling UK's first HR application to simplify and speed up restructuring, at the CIPD's HR Software show next week.

This tool reduces the potential legal risks emanating from a merger, acquisition, downsizing or outsourcing programme.

HR executives and business managers can record pertinent details for each step of a restructuring project, including interviews, and track every email correspondence using people-motion's email system. Users can choose to run the application on their preferred device, whether iPad, smartphone or laptop.

HR executives can also share appropriate project details and progress with other managers, employees, Trade Union representatives and lawyers through a secure web site.

By automating the processes and time-stamping the transactions involved - from email, letter-writing and reminders to auditing and management reporting - people-motion reduces the potential risk of errors.

The result is a fair and legally compliant process that avoids the excessive cost, stress and time involved, as well as helping to avoid appeals and employment appeals.

Phil Clayson, people-motion co-founder, said: "While technology has seeped into nearly every part of business life, the restructuring process has often remained dependent on printed paperwork, spreadsheets, and the need to continually lock away confidential files. This is hugely inefficient and expensive. People-motion is the first solution that automates the entire process, reducing complexity, time, costs and risk."

The people-motion software automatically produces the critical components for a restructuring, acquisition, in/outsource or transformation project, including a time-based report of all transactions, meetings, messages and other correspondence,

People-motion reduces project management costs by tracking follow-up actions from meetings and providing management reporting. This saves hours of work per employee involved in even the simplest restructure.

It is available via a secure web site that runs on all tablets, smartphones and PCs on a monthly subscription model.
