What’s the ROI of an HR system?
The return on an HR system comes mainly from time saved on admin, but result vary depending on business size and modules used. In our experience, HR teams typically cut admin overheads by 30% to 60%, line managers can save around an hour a day on approvals and reporting, and employees save five to ten minutes a week on tasks like checking holiday or accessing payslips. For example, Johnsons 1871 reclaimed more than 50 hours a month across HR and payroll, and payroll runs that once took a week and a half now take a day or two. And, one medical technology group cut monthly payroll queries by an average of 90% after moving to Smart Managed Payroll.

The data behind your results
To calculate your potential ROI, there are a number of factors we have taken into account. These include:
How long does HR software take to pay for itself?
Most business cases for HR software use a payback period of three to five years. Three years is a common default in technology ROI analysis, while many organisations use five years for HR software because systems tend to stay in place for longer. Compare your savings with the total cost of ownership: the subscription plus implementation, training and your own team’s time. With Cezanne, implementation, data upload and ongoing award-winning UK-based support are included in the subscription – not added extras.

HRIS ROI calculator: frequently asked questions
What ROI can I expect from an HR system?
It depends on how much manual admin you have today. The biggest savings usually come from HR admin, line manager approvals and employee self-service. Open GI, for example, cut its HR admin overhead by 80% after implementing three Cezanne modules.
How is the ROI of HR software calculated?
Work out how long each HR process takes today, multiply it by how often it happens and the hourly cost of the people doing it, then compare those savings with the total cost of the system over your chosen payback period.
Which costs should I include?
Include the subscription, implementation, data migration, training and the time your own team spends on selection and roll-out. With Cezanne, implementation, data upload and ongoing support are included in the subscription.
Which savings are hardest to measure?
Soft savings such as lower compliance risk, better data and a better employee experience. They are real, but keep them separate from the hard savings in your business case so Finance can see exactly what has been counted.
