Human resources (HR) tasks have largely been document- and form-driven manual work. Advancements in computing, however, now allow HR professionals to utilise automation technology. But reducing time-consuming and repetitive tasks to a few simple steps is just one of HR automation’s advantages for business.
Businesses contending with today’s modern digital environment have a common challenge — maximizing multiple channels as contact points for various potential customers. Businesses invest much time and money to establish an effective presence in each of these channels.
At its most basic, time tracking software is an HR automation application that carefully monitors the time and resources spent on tasks by an employee or a group of employees. Time tracking applications usually have the following features:
Tracking work hours
Tracking billable hours
Taking screenshots of employees’ workstations
Analytics and reporting
Time tracking is a function of time management in an enterprise.
We live in a time when there are many different human resource (HR) applications made to perform HR functions — including applicant tracking for hiring, core policy generation, payroll management, and employee performance appraisal — more efficiently. However, we haven’t come to a point in application development where humans are expendable in the HR value chain.
There are many cloud computing solutions to choose from, and one size rarely fits all. One popular cloud-computing platform is Microsoft’s Azure, an array of integrated cloud solutions that include infrastructure and application services that can help your organisation overcome business challenges.
The benefits of a positive work culture cannot be overstated. When employees are more engaged and motivated, they’re more productive. There are countless ways to engage and motivate employees — most of which are made easier by technology.
One such tool is a human resources management system (HRMS), a powerful software platform that integrates all the tools and processes used by HR professionals.
Managing a workforce involves several responsibilities, ranging from recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, performance management, learning management plus time and attendance. Taking care of each separately is counterproductive and not cost-effective. A human resource management system (HRMS) is a software platform that integrates all the tools and processes used by HR professionals to get all of these tasks done in a more effortless system.
Without the aid of digital technology, human resource (HR) management is chock-full of overwhelming tasks, from having to organise data coming from different silos to juggling different HR functions essential to the company.
However, technology has made HR responsibilities such as recruitment, payroll and performance evaluation more manageable and efficient.
Having vacant positions in your company can make you lose business opportunities or cause other setbacks, but filling these up can be difficult if you have a convoluted hiring process. Whether you're a rapidly growing startup or an established enterprise, you'll risk losing young talent to other companies if your hiring process takes too long or doesn’t match the pace of popular digital experiences.
While every business recognizes the value of the internet, relatively few have thought about having their own private intranet network that’s only accessible to the organization’s employees. Similar to the internet, intranets feature things like search engines, social networks, blogs, and other resources.
