FREMONT, CA: A new employee's first day involves much more than just giving them an information package and showing them their workstation. Human resources and IT departments are involved in the process. Moreover, both the company and the new employee may find onboarding challenging due to the complex and often tedious tasks involved.
Employee onboarding automation can provide a more positive experience for both employees and companies. Through digital onboarding, new hires can be mentored and guided through the ins and outs of their new jobs without the hassle of paperwork or face-to-face meetings.
Additionally, automation helps new hires learn about the tasks, processes, people, and culture that make their new job unique. Both employers and employees benefit from this.
Employees onboarding automation has the following advantages:
Complexity and delays are reduced: Creating profiles, onboarding new employees, and moving across departments. By allowing departments to collaborate on requests and automate tasks from a single screen, Automation Anywhere's RPA platform reduces complexity. Upon HR's completion, the request is routed to the next department, reducing bottlenecks.
Training with extended onboarding for higher quality: In automated employee onboarding, a survey can be sent to the new employee after their first day, 30 days, and 90 days. Onboarding can be improved by refining the processes and identifying issues quickly.
Compliance with regulatory requirements: When processing employee data, data protection is of utmost importance. Using bots to process confidential and PII data locally reduces the risk of a data breach. Additionally, secure bots are incapable of stealing or misusing information, helping the company meet regulatory compliance requirements for data security.
A conducive learning and working environment: Onboarding can quickly overwhelm human resources employees and new hires due to the amount of information they need to absorb. By combining automation, human support, and education, new hires can adjust faster to their roles, reducing job stress and improving retention.
Automated employee onboarding benefits whom? Automated employee onboarding benefits these departments:
Accounting Departments: A digital workforce guides new employees through payroll setup, benefits enrollment, retirement programs, stock options, etc. When the accounting department or bookkeepers process the employee's pay or other needs, the information is already available.
Departments responsible for customer service: Customer service agents can notify HR when they notice a recurring problem or an area that needs improvement. In order to improve the service customers receive, they can adjust the employee onboarding and training programs.
