Human Capital Management (HCM) refers to the strategic approach to managing an organization’s workforce to maximize its performance and productivity. It encompasses a broad range of practices and technologies designed to attract, develop, manage, and retain employees effectively.

HCM Technology: This includes the software solutions and platforms used to streamline and automate various HR processes. HCM technology integrates multiple functions, such as recruitment, onboarding, payroll, performance management, learning and development, and employee engagement into a single system. This integration helps organizations manage their human capital more efficiently and provides valuable insights through data analytics.

HCM Platforms: These are comprehensive software solutions that offer a suite of tools and modules tailored to various HR needs. HCM platforms typically include:

• Core HR: Manages employee records, benefits, and compliance with labor laws.
• Talent Management: Supports recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and career development.
• Payroll and Benefits Administration: Automates payroll processing, tax calculations, and benefits management.
• Learning and Development: Facilitates employee training, skill development, and career progression.
• Workforce Analytics: Provides data-driven insights into workforce trends, performance, and productivity.

Yes.  Some businesses use us just for NYS mandated sexual harassment training, drug testing, employee handbooks, background checks or labor law posters.  Some just use our HR administrative services.  If you need assistance in a more specific area, just give us a call or visit our Simco Shop.  We have the professionals in place to get you what you need.

While switching payroll providers on your own can be challenging, Simco will walk you through the entire process from start to finish, assisting the whole way to make sure it is a seamless transition.

If you have an HR Department or someone who is in charge of HR, such as a manager, Simco can help. Our HR Specialists are available to help answer the tough questions, keep you compliant, provide annual HR assessments, and decrease your frustration and worry. We proactively inform you on laws and regulations so you can be ready, prepared, and compliant. Simco can be more cost effective than hiring more HR employees at your business. 

No. If you do not have anyone in an official HR role, most likely you have several individuals managing HR as needed or reactively.  Simco will be proactively informing you of what you need to stay in compliance, inform you of new laws and regulations so you can be ready, and be there to answer any tough HR questions that arise.  If you lack the time, expertise, or resources necessary to handle your HR employee challenges, give us a call.  

No.  We have clients who have their business in multiple states and partner with Simco.

Prompt Service. When you become a Simco client, you get one point of contact who will get you answers efficiently.  No more waiting on the phone long periods of time or not getting the service you were promised.  We’re second to none at service!  Just see what our clients have to say about that here.

Streamline Your Workflow.  Our HR, Employee Benefits, HCM/Payroll and Commercial Insurance verticals all closely collaborate to make sure that one change, such as onboarding a new employee, trickles into every facet that is affected.  A new employee affects payroll, retirement, employee handbook sign offs, and more.  It means less paperwork for you because once we have the initial information, you don’t need to fill out the same information multiple times in multiple places, which also helps reduce errors.  

We’re Just a Call Away.  When you’re looking for a quick HR, Payroll, Benefits or Commercial Insurance answer, just call your Simco contact.  If they are unable to answer your question, they are backed by a team of specialists in each vertical to quickly get you the correct answers you need.

An ASO is a service-based business dedicated to providing human resources, payroll, employee benefits and commercial insurance administrative services for businesses. Some ASO’s focus on a few of these services, but Simco makes it easy to include them all, and at half the price as a professional employer organization (PEO).

What makes us unique is each of our clients receive prompt and professional friendly service from one point of contact, or as we call them, your Business Partner.  Our systems, process and technology are backed by professional and personalized service–which allows you to manage your business more efficiently and save you time.
