The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-au\/blog\/widening-skills-gap\/\">global skills crisis<\/a> has led to the war for talent. Employee engagement levels have plummeted. As a result, productivity is at an all-time low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People Companies know that in order to win in the war for talent,&nbsp;things need to change. Their HR leaders know that they need to move away from being a transactional team, towards a more strategic people-focussed function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By automating transactional processes, People Companies get quicker feedback and take remedial action. By continually redesigning better ways of working in this iterative manner, People Companies see a quicker impact on engagement and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated HR processes also free up time for employees. People Companies give their employees autonomy to do things themselves, such as managing their teams, setting objectives or booking holidays, which also takes the pressure off HR and People team\u2019s time, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-automate\">Why automate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our own research has shown that 80% of fast-growth companies have embraced HR automation, versus 53% in lower growth businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark class=\"highlight-and-share\">McKinsey estimates that 60% of all occupations have 30% of activities that could be automated, and that automation can make workforces 31% more productive.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, that\u2019s just the efficiency gain. We believe the game-changing potential is in the time you free up when you automate. What would you do with it to make a real impact on business performance and success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download our eBook below to discover five ways automation can transform HR in your organisation, enabling you to become a more people-focussed function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta gated-content\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper has-dark-background-color\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"single-cta__title h3\">Free research report: The changing face of HR<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Seismic shifts in the way organisations operate, work, and manage their people are occurring.
