Where HR meets IT

Human resources today is no longer only about policies and people management. It increasingly depends on reliable technology that gives organisations clear insight into their workforce, simplifies administration, and supports better decision making.

Across Iceland, many of the country’s leading companies and public institutions rely on Advania’s HR and payroll solutions to manage employee data, payroll processes, and workforce planning. For organisations with large and complex workforces, these systems have become a critical foundation for daily operations.

Mosfellsbær municipality is one of them.

With 36 workplaces across the municipality, managing workforce information efficiently is essential. The HR and working environment department relies on Advania’s HR platform as a central system for managing employee data, payroll processes, and workforce information.

“Our HR platform is a key system in our operations,” says Kristján Þór Magnússon, Head of Human Resources and Work Environment at Mosfellsbær. “One of the biggest advantages is how dynamic it is when it comes to managing everything related to employees, from hiring and payroll to the end of employment.”
