If you are still managing your Employee Savings Plans on spreadsheets, and if you’ve been experiencing frequent errors in your calculations and reporting, and facing audit observations for many years, you aren’t alone. That’s so expected!

As companies grow, so do the demands on HR teams. What once used to work in a smaller setup could potentially lead to repeated errors, version control chaos and time consuming manual updates. A single formula error on Excel can skew an entire report. Things like pricing updates, dividend allocations and change in contributions become vulnerable to human error, which makes compliance and accuracy a recurring headache.

HR leaders are aware of the stakes. Mistakes in employee savings aren’t just technical slip ups; they break trust and bring into questions scheme reliability. Spending hours every morning reconciling numbers or chasing down missing data is simply unsustainable. If your teams feel stuck maintaining broken system just because ‘that’s what we’ve always used’, it’s surely time to rethink!

Hidden Costs of Running Manual Systems

Beyond the obvious errors and time lost, running your ESP manually creates hidden problems that quietly drag your HR productivity down. Each update, whether it is adjusting contributions, applying interest or calculating dividends required manual input. This not just increases the risk of mistakes but also puts immense pressure on HR to double check for basic accuracy.

Then there is the issue with transparency. Employees want clarity on how much they have saved, what has been contributed, where their money was invested, in which allocations, and how their money is growing. But when data is buried in static spreadsheets, communication becomes a challenge. Delays in reporting discrepancies in balances could lead to frustration, or worse, a loss in trust.

These manual systems also struggle to scale. As your organisation grows, so does the complexity of managing employee savings. What worked with 200 employees becomes practically unimaginable with 2000. HR teams often find themselves stuck in reactive mode, solving problems over and over again.

The answer to these challenges lies in a solution that eliminates manual work, manages the all dimensions of your fund dynamically, guarantees accuracy, and grows with your business – an end-to-end digital application built for configuring, running and managing employee savings at scale.

 Keeping Clients Engaged through Digital Solutions

Progressive HR leaders know that benefits like employee saving plans aren’t just something that’s ‘nice to have’. They are key to retention, satisfaction and long term employee trust. But when those plans are managed through outdated tools, they lose their impact, that’s what we’ve heard from employees in large corporations running employee savings schemes on static, non-interactive formats. The best way to keep employees engaged and confident in their savings is through providing a system that is transparent, reliable and easy to use.
