HR and Technology Advancements

As HR helps to build a stronger workforce through better recruiting, training and retention programs, the workforce helps drive the efficiency of the business as a whole. A more productive, efficient and agile business can respond better to competitive and market shifts, being more profitable. 

However, many traditional HR organisations struggle to allocate their resources. they are often hinered by a multitude of manual, paper based processes and transactions(e.g. tax, payroll and benefits information). these are costly, time consuming to manage and prone to errors. Consequently, this can make it hard for HR departments to focus on adding value to the bottom line in face of these issues.

In order to improve efficiency, we have seen an emerging trend in recent years to an e-HR business model, moving traditionally performed HR tasks, tools and processes into internal intranets or the internet via a portal. 

Organisations are seeking e-HR solutions that can help automate tasks and streamline workflow and improve the efficiency of the workforce by providing self-service tools, training and information. By automation of processes, HR can better align itself with business objectives of the enterprise and focus on some higher value business services and employee needs such as Training and development.
