HR is among the busiest and most impactful business units in any company. HR professionals handle everything from finding, vetting, and placing new employees to handling employee relations, benefits, payroll, and professional development. But sometimes, it can feel like the entire job is a paper chase. Documentation is important, but it’s easy to get bogged down in paperwork.
Automation can help HR professionals capture, track, and store every piece of data generated, from an employee’s first contact with the company as a job candidate through his or her last day and beyond. To enable workflows and track employee documentation, many HR departments use a Human Resource information system (HRIS) to automate and organize core HR tasks.
