Imagine that, as a growing organization running Dynamics GP, you have steadily added employees over the years and are having growing pains with the Human Resources management process. What once felt manageable now feels strained in a system from a different time. HR staff struggles to track employee records, payroll, new leave requirements, and benefits inside GP, while leadership faces increasing compliance pressure and W-2 timings. The company now needs to track employee licensure, certifications, and credentials, and support remote employees who want access to their own information.
