MAJOR cloud-based human resources management (HRM) and software company Sprout Solutions recently launched its Rescue Kit to help organizations transcend traditional on-premise limitations and embrace the new frontier of remote business operations and compliance.
“The ECQ [enhanced community quarantine] has been a transformative experience for many businesses,” Sprout CEO Patrick Gentry said in a press statement.
“The fundamentals stay the same, but there’s been a complete upheaval of everything we thought we knew about how to do business,” Gentry added.
Gentry said Rescue Kit combines Sprout’s existing digital HR services in addition to loans and business continuity consultation from the company’s ISO 31000-certified Lead Risk Manager, who has an extensive background in the ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System.
In line with Sprout’s mission to improve Filipino businesses, Sprout is offering free registration for Rescue Kit until May 31.
“Staying operational and compliant is an unprecedented challenge given today’s situation, but it need not be a crushing expense. Recovery doesn’t have to wait until after the lockdown is lifted, and we’re here to help companies do what they do best,” Gentry explained.
To help companies be updated on the country’s labor laws and business regulations, Gentry said Sprout’s HR and payroll modules help businesses by managing its top-tier timekeeping, 201 file management, and automation of 32 pay rates on multiple shifts.
Through cloud-based and mobile application technologies, he said Sprout’s services don’t require additional hardware investment and are accessible from any device at any time with a reliable connection to the Internet.
Furthermore, users can also remotely self-onboard through a completely digital implementation process that melds a built-in learning experience on the software’s dashboard and access to Sprout’s technical support team.
Aware of the financial impact of Covid-19 to employees and their families, Gentry said legitimate employees of a company in just a few clicks can now borrow up to P25,000 through Instacash from the Sprout HR dashboard. The emergency funds are transferred straight to the employee’s bank account, enabling access in a matter of minutes.
To ensure local companies stay compliant, Gentry said Sprout has an ISO 270001 Information Management Systems-certified standards, which leverages the cloud to protect user data from potential abuse and accidental loss.
To ensure business continuity in these challenging times, Gentry said Sprout’s Rescue Kit will provide exclusive consultation from the company’s ISO 31000-certified Lead Risk Manager to help companies create an effective business continuity plan that will help them adapt to any kind of crisis.
The service provides instruction on how to accurately assess the impact of a crisis on business and how to design an efficient response.
According to Gentry, increasing business volatility and a pressing change in the way business is done is a signal that migrating from analog to digital has become all the more necessary.
“The virus is an incredible indicator that business needs to evolve beyond returning to the status quo,” he said. “This is not the first time something has forced massive shifts in our way of life, and it certainly will not be the last. We have to look to technology and innovation to guide our progress and future prosperity.”
