efficiency and free up time for more valuable, People-focused HR activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research studies show that automation measurably improves productivity and is a tool used by many high-growth companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From recruitment to strategic transformation, HR automation can streamline processes, cut out errors, support more responsive and accurate business decision-making and improve employee experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why successful People Companies have been quick to embrace HR automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the employee journey, HR automation can distribute and monitor views and responses to online job ads, internally and externally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automated processes can acknowledge and respond to applications and ensure that candidates have provided the correct information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automated recruitment tools might include online application forms and video recording facilities, so HR and functional managers can screen a short candidate video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reduce the risk of bias, digital recruitment tools can prompt reviewers with the specific criteria for the job and enable the collation of feedback from a range of stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After selection, HR automation helps to onboard joiners quickly, moving them through induction and familiarisation processes efficiently so they can hit the ground running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy for HR and People teams to share relevant details of the employee\u2019s role and plan a tailored induction that can be shared with managers and peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might include mentoring, training, facilities provision and location orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees apps and systems make it possible for employees to conduct some training and induction independently, to seek information from corporate resources and to ask questions if they need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once established, employees can enjoy HR self-service with automated apps. For example, they can update their details, book holidays, check HR policy information or review their benefits through a secure mobile portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HR automation enhances the ability to manage and motivate strong performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using continuous feedback and delivery information that\u2019s automatically collected from peers and company performance data, managers and employees have a clear picture of how they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easier to identify skills gaps and to register and work towards professional and personal goals with a secure and comprehensive online performance record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefits are not only for individual employees.&nbsp;HR automation brings huge advantages at an organizational level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through analytics, it provides excellent management reporting and insight, marshalling data to reveal accurate and accessible people information that helps improve recruitment, retention, performance and employee experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the HR department, automation of routine processing and admin increases efficiency and frees staff to focus on designing and deploying employee experience initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analytics allow the HR and People team to act on opportunities to continually improve processes and to influence strategy and future performance with predictive modelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner on-scroll-highlight__target\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper
