Automating New Employee On-boarding Process with BPM
One of the most challenging tasks human resource management personnel face is managing the on-boarding process of new employees. There’s just so much to be done, from getting the necessary information to entering information into employee databases and payroll. And that is just the beginning of it. Handling all of this work and such a huge volume of paperwork manually can be time consuming and also the possibility of information misplacement can delay the process even further.
Instead of spending so much time doing paperwork, the HR should rather be spending that time developing the organization’s human capital and maintaining a competitive edge over its rivals. That is why it is important to eliminate this unproductive work from the HR employees’ routine and allow them to concentrate on developing the company’s human resources. This is where process automation comes in. All of the paperwork and data collection must be automated to save time and effort, as well as to increase efficiency by leaps and bounds.
There is so much that can go wrong when handling new employee paperwork manually. Resumes could go missing, an employee could forget to enter some key details, the office clerk may type the wrong information in the database, or the designated papers could be delivered to the wrong person. While no catastrophic damage come out of this, such errors could lead to several days of delay in the process. Effective BPM solutions such as better document management systems can significantly help eliminate such delays and make the on-boarding process much smoother altogether.
Such solutions can help improve the alignment of the HR on-boarding goals to the company goals, minimize the consumption of resources to maximize productivity, and now for higher visibility into the hiring status, effectively eliminate bottlenecks and the need for reworks through the on-boarding process, radically decreasing the chances of human error and significantly minimizing the time taken. An automated documentation process is also a green alternative to the hiring process, as compared to the massive amount of paper consumed in the old-school methods. So if your company is still losing precious time and engaging talented manpower in unproductive chores such as managing on-boarding process paperwork, it’s time you got in touch with a good BPM company that will help you turn things around and save a lot of time and resources.
