How HR Technologies To Make Your Work More Efficient?
When people are talking about innovation, the first thing that comes to mind would be marketing or product development. Yet, HR can also be innovative, there are MarTechs, and also HRTechs! Here are 4 HR technology trends that companies are using to enhance their human resources efficiency.
1. HR technology for recruitment
Recruitment is one of the most important job duties of the HR department, and it’s one of the most time-consuming jobs. It usually takes a few months for firms to find suitable candidates because we need to scan through the CVs, schedule interviews, and evaluate the results.
Some technologies may help us go faster. Nowadays, many companies are starting to adopt chatbots or video interviews to do the skimming of candidates and save up the time needed for first-round interviews.
Normally, employers will ask the candidates to record one minute of self-introduction or answer a few questions in the interview server (so that they can ensure the candidate will not edit the footage) to see if they are suitable for the job title. In this case, there will be no need for the employers to schedule the first-round interview dates one by one, they can just watch the videos and select suitable candidates for the second interview.
2. HR technology for administrative work
Especially when you are in a large-scale company, the administrative work can be complicated. There are tons of forms to be filled in if an employee wants to apply for a day off or anything else. In this case, an employee self-service tool will be helpful.
It’s usually an app that provides different functions that the employees need, such as form downloading, salary checking, reporting time confirmation, and so on. With a well-developed app for your employees, they will not have to visit the HR department every time they need help. On one hand, it could lessen the burden of administrative work, on the other hand, the employees can save time and focus back on their work.
3. HR technology to help to onboard
As an HR manager, when there is a new member onboard, you will have to provide them with a lot of training beforehand to make sure they can pick up the job tasks. Instead of giving boring lectures, many companies are adopting a new way to provide training.
VR technology is now used to train employees in industries with comparatively low fault tolerance, such as the medical industry or construction industry. VR technology provides them with a simulation of the actual work environment. By finishing different tasks, they can learn about safety measures and the correct procedure, to minimize mistakes when they are working in reality. To reduce food waste and the cost of error, some restaurants are also adopting VR technology to train their new chefs.
4. All-rounded payroll management software
The most troublesome HR duties could be processing payroll for the employees, but are you still calculating their paychecks manually?
There is HR software that may help companies record employees’ data such as fulfilled working hours, overtime working records, or annual leave records. With a simple setting and a click of the mouse, the software will automatically generate paychecks for your employees, preventing manual errors.
Apart from the basic payroll generation, these systems might even generate insights for your staff planning in the future. They may provide data such as business turnover, salary expenses, percentage of compensation for overtime working, and other staff-related data. These extra insights are helpful for the HR manager to make improvements to future staff planning, or even adjust the overall team size and structure.
