HUMAN RESOURCES
The HR department of any business, whether it’s payroll administration, talent management, leave management or employee on-boarding, is responsible for a plethora of tasks, many of which are repetitive, high in volume, and accompanied by extensive manual work and long waiting times. This has resulted in higher operational costs, high error rates, compromise in compliance levels and employee dissatisfaction. Given that businesses across the board are looking to improve employee engagement and satisfaction, they are looking at automation to reimagine the HR function. RPA has enabled HR practitioners to refocus their time and resources on strategic tasks like proactive hiring, competency management, career development, and employee engagement.
