Why it’s high time your HR team adopted workflow automation

In today’s fast-changing business world, changing and adopting new business strategies is a requisite for any business looking to outpace their competitors. When the competition is this fierce, any small detail can mean the difference between winning and losing. For HR teams, the most important processes are just as time-consuming, cumbersome, and costly as they were a few decades ago, that’s why workflow automation has become a strategic necessity.

When business is going well, organizations tend not to question their current strategies. But executives need to acknowledge that at any point, this could change in the blink of an eye.

Recent research shows that HR managers could save up to 14 hours a week if they were using automation. Just imagine how big the impact of manual or “automationless” processes on your business productivity are. According to another survey, managing people has been ranked the second most common source of stress in the workplace. As a result, 44 percent of HR managers frequently feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities.
