TietoEnator Releases New Version of HR System


ESPOO, Finland, Sept. 9, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- TietoEnator Resource Management now releases a new version of Persona HR, a TietoEnator solution within the HR area (Human Resources). The new version contains functionalities that to a large extent will ease the work for personnel development, personnel planning and personnel administration. Both line managers and co-workers will have opportunities for greater personal influence in the HR work.

Persona HR is today in use with more than 250 large companies throughout Europe. The new version of the solution offers, for example, individual co-workers greater opportunities to register themselves and follow up personal information in the system. This gives both a greater understanding for and insight into HR work and improves participation.

Line managers will also have new tools with which to develop their own personnel. Since the employees will have access to more information in the new solution, line managers and HR personnel can concentrate on development and planning matters.

"Many HR systems fail in their purpose because too much of the administration must be carried out by line managers and HR personnel. This means that less time is available for personnel and organizational development. With the new version of Persona HR and, for example, the new web functions, more time can be devoted to developing the well-being of the staff which is important in today's society," said Lasse Wastesson who is responsible for business management within the personnel administrative area at TietoEnator in Sweden.

Persona HR is a part of TietoEnator Resource Management's personnel system concept, Persona. This also includes, for example, salaries and time reporting. TietoEnator is today the leader in the Nordic countries within the personnel system area, and approximately 25 percent of all employees in Sweden receive their salaries, for example, through TietoEnator's systems. With regard to the Nordic countries as a whole, the corresponding figure is over 30 percent.

TietoEnator Resource Management is the leading supplier in the Nordic countries of business solutions for the management of finance, personnel, information and customers. The solutions are based on many years of experience, qualified services and standard systems. They create the prerequisites for both running reporting as well as follow-up and analysis, irrespective of where in the organization the user is. Thanks to exchangeable components every customer can grow into his solution and adapt the system to his business processes.
