Cut Down on Business Paperwork With Hr Workflow Management Software
At its simplest definition, workflow is the movement of documents and/or tasks through a work process, and for many people, the idea of Human Resources and workflow in business involves the improvement of processing paperwork. Workflow is the operational aspect of a work procedure: how tasks are structured, who performs them, how they are synchronised, how tasks are tracked; the tasks involved in determining workflow are numerous and can have a serious impact on a business' productivity. The most common HR processes include appraisals, new starters, maternity, absence, holiday booking and leavers.
Workflow involves various components and people and each facet must integrate with the others in order to process and complete a task. For example, an employee wants to book a holiday and fills in a paper form. Details of the holiday from will be delivered to the employee's line manager, who will check to see if there is sufficient cover before authorizing the holiday. The paper form is then delivered to the HR department who then makes a note of details of the employee's holiday and subtracts the time from the employees holiday balance. The employee then receives a form showing that the holiday has been authorized and details of their new holiday balance.
Workflow is critical to driving greater efficiency within HR. It is a process which delivers the right work to the right people at the right time, eradicating the need for highly labour intensive activities and considerably reducing the need for paper to be pushed around the office. In essence Workflow can help to reduce costs, improve productivity, provide faster processing times and of course is a major player in helping to sustain the world's declining tree population. A HR process may require interaction from many departments. Therefore, HR processes are well suited for automation because typically these processes are paper based, manual and prone to error and delay.
With workflow management becoming more and more critical in driving greater efficiency within your business, the ever changing demands on HR and business to become more effective, productive and profitable has led to many software solution companies introducing HR software designed to manage HR workflow; allowing labour intensive activities to be automated. Operating in tandem with process tracking, businesses can ensure that progress can be monitored effectively. For example, ASR Computers recently launched their .NET HR Workflow module, which is written in .NET technology and compliments the company's existing HR and Payroll software product range,..
ASR's .NET HR Workflow module management tool which gives HR professionals the functionality to re-engineer their HR processes and assist with the efficient running of their HR department; allowing for the use of electronic forms instead of paper. Consequently, a range of benefits are achieved - including process visibility, which is a key factor for tracking progress and improvement.
