Human resources (HR) is a document-intensive discipline. From job application forms and employment documentation to performance reviews, annual leave, and training, all the way to exit paperwork, HR professionals can often feel like they’re drowning in a sea of paperwork.
Managing the plethora of forms and documents that accompany an employee throughout their lifecycle can be a thankless task but, when errors creep in, HR professionals often bear the brunt of employees’ frustration.
Ideally, HR processes and forms should be digitalised and automated where possible. This can help reduce the risk of errors and eliminate duplicated work, which saves time and helps HR professionals work more effectively.
When repetitive, tedious HR processes are automated, HR professionals can be freed up to add more value to an organisation. They can do this by creating innovative and effective employee engagement programs, or by implementing a proactive hiring strategy that means no job vacancy is left unfilled for very long.
Organisations can automate HR processes through business process automation software. The software makes decisions based on business rules, eliminating the need for people to intervene in routine circumstances. This means HR professionals can step in when they need to but can otherwise let the automated system deal with routine tasks.
