Automation in the HR

By Rohit Jaiswal

HR automation is the process of enhancing the efficiency of the HR department by

reducing/eliminating employees’ indulgence in tedious manual tasks and allowing them to
focus on complex tasks like decision making and strategizing. It helps the companies in
enhancing their efficiency as the time required for task completion is reduced (due to more
employee engagement) without compromising the quality of work. Many critical
administrative tasks are handled by it such as filing documents, selecting profiles with certain
skills, feeding information, creating and sharing files, etc. These tasks may take hours if
processed manually.
Standard and repetitive HR activities, if automated, can help the organisations in bringing
down the cost and time spent on manual HR planning and processing.
As per a survey conducted by KPMG, the most favourable benefits expected from intelligent
automation investments are improved performance – 56% while freeing resources or staff to
perform more strategic work follows at 54%. This is the reason more and more companies are
planning to invest in HR automation processes and AI over the next few years.
