There has been an increase in the number of organizations opting to automate their business processes. Business process automation continues to gain prominence as more and more organizations understand its advantages and disadvantages.

One function that has received considerable attention in this regard is Human Resource Management (HRM), as evidenced by the plethora of choices available to organizations today. Regardless of the service provider or the number of features, Human Resource Management Software (HRMS) seeks to add value to an organization by automating, streamlining, and simplifying the various activities of the HRM function of the organization. It acts as an assistant to the HR manager and helps him/her increase productivity and efficiency in the process.

So, which activities of the HR process does HR software automate? How do they benefit the organization? Does this help with increasing the productivity?

Recruitment: When it comes to recruitment, there are several sub-activities like posting job descriptions, collecting resumes, scheduling interviews, taking interviews, and making decisions involved. In these, this software automates the processes of collecting resumes and scheduling interviews. Users can configure the system in such a way that the resumes that they receive will be sorted depending on the parameters they apply. This software also checks the individual schedules of the interviewer(s) and schedules interviews when it is convenient for everyone.

Notifications: This is one of the most important functions of this software. Lack of clear communication can be a major obstacle to many important business activities. This software sends automatic notifications for any important change or update in the system.

Take this case. One of your reportees moved to a different residence and wants to notify the HR. Without this software, she d have to go to the HR and submit this change in writing, which the HR then manually enters in to the ledger. No more. With the Employee Self Service feature (ESS), she can just change the address in her personnel information page and the HR manager will be immediately notified.

Same goes with, say, performance assessment. Generally, employees are given a period of time (a week to a month) to complete their personal performance assessments. Instead of repeatedly asking everyone to complete their reviews in time, just configure the system to send them automatic notifications reminding them of this pending issue. Once they complete the assessment, the notifications stop.

Notification save a lot of time for everyone and helps ensure a clear flow of communication within the organization.

Reports: Do you know how many people in your team come on time and how many come late every day? Do you know exactly what or how much work your reportee has done yesterday or last week? Do you know how many people have taken leave on any particular day, in the past or the future?

You can configure the system to send you updates periodically, with a frequency of your choosing. You can receive daily and weekly work reports, timing details, and attendance records.

As we can see, online HR software can bring you significant increases in productivity and efficiency by automating several activities of your HRM process.
