“Humanising Human Resource with Automation”

Does your Human Resource (HR) team spend hours daily: 

1. 1. Sending countless back-and-forth emails between departments when onboarding a new employee?
   2. Scanning employee applications for a single job opening?
   3. Ensuring standardised processes for compliance and accuracy with labour laws and regulations? 

HR departments are piled with mountains of paperwork and routine tasks. Choosing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has been used by many to reduce the workload. This is because RPA is a quick solution to simplify and automate repetitive tasks. 

Automation allows HR personnel to refocus their efforts on fostering employee satisfaction. This is priceless during the Great Resignation, when businesses are struggling with attracting and retaining talent. 

An HR technology survey by PwC revealed that 45% of HR leaders were looking to automation technology such as RPA. 

Deloitte also reported that 74% of Shared Services leaders are planning to fully assess the viability of RPA for their operations. 

Your HR team will have more time to ensure your employees are happy. Because a happy employee is a loyal one!

What HR processes can be automated? 

#1 Onboarding 

From acquiring employee profiles, setting up emails, user access, office tags, laptops and etc., the list of details needed from the hiring, HR, Finance, and IT departments can be exhaustive.

• It can automate the arrangement of interviews and send rejection notifications.

  
  #3 Profile management
  

  Labour laws, compliance procedures, and employee payroll and benefits are constantly changing. With current staff and new hires, managing to keying employee data can be a very tedious task. 

With RPA:  

• Increases compliance and accuracy of data management as RPA can easily edit and update employee data while performing data cleansing.

  #4 Payroll processing

Case Studies of RPA in HR 

#1 McDonald’s New Zealand 

The HR team cut down time spent managing employment issues to 25% of their time, this from 60%. Handling requirements for all 152 New Zealand restaurants and requests from 9,000 employees, there was extensive documentation that needed to be recorded from hiring, misconduct issues, etc. 

With Nintex, a repository was created for all information, history, logs, and revision. They could easily update legislation changes across the 152 locations. 

#2 Michigan State University

Nintex automation allowed for a 50% increase in process mapping to manage the entire hiring and onboarding process. Before, the process faced issues with lost paperwork, unclear requirements, and time-consuming schedules which led to lost candidates.  

But automation allowed for the smooth collaboration of all stakeholders in the Infrastructure Planning and Facilities unit. 

#3 Randstand Australia

With an IT Service Management solution such as Freshservice, Randstand created three HR workflows for new starters, employment change and ending which allowed them to make 300 hires, around 35 turnovers and less than 1200 internal changes in the sapce of a year. 

By moving from a shared inbox system to respond to queries, the automated ticketing system greatly reduced the number of repetitive processes and the actual number of tickets HR employees had to attend to.
