A human resources professional's time is often spent on data entry and file management, but many of these tasks can be automated by tools that reduce the need for manual data entry. In addition, implementing an automation workflow means that human resource professionals can spend more time doing what they do best-providing guidance and care to employees.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) allows you to design workflows as simple or complex as your HR department requires. Creating multiple workflows makes it easy to map out automated document routing throughout the employee lifecycle, from applications and payroll to retirement and termination processes. Think of it as automated document management.
Automation Anywhere’s RPA Document Automation and pre-built task bots for HR are a must-have. You can start with small processes, like collecting e-signatures or dive in with a proof of concept to see how RPA can expand to help your organization. Then, see what implementing HR automation can do for your bottom line, as this global bank did.
Many HR tasks rely heavily on manual processes and human supervision. Unfortunately, many HR leaders believe that bots are impersonal and incapable of generating much value. This is far from the truth. Record retrieval automation transforms HR tasks, increasing efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility. And RPA works with most HR software so that you can keep your Workday, Jobvite, and OKTA systems going without implementation downtime. It’s a win-win.
Improved Collaboration
Employee record retrieval automation (ERRA) is designed to work cross-functionally to find, promote, and train new hires while improving employee retention. However, ERRA also reduces the complexity of multi-step, multi-sign-on processes and can collaborate between multiple HR partner systems.
Lower Costs
Automated document processing is cost-effective. It makes hiring and onboarding more efficient, but there is also less duplication of tasks and fewer demands on HR professionals. In short, the more you incorporate automation into HR, the bigger the cost savings become.
Data-Driven Decision Making
RPA bots can be trained to generate detailed reports on employee performance or workflow, and identify issues or opportunities in real-time, providing businesses with better information about their organization and their employees.
Improved Accuracy
Manual, on-premise data entry tends to be highly repetitive. The more humans have to perform these actions and migrate data from one database to another, the more likely they will make costly mistakes. HR workflow automation like record retrieval eliminates the risk and makes sure you never lose documents again.
Compliance
Automated record and document retrieval can include auditable logs that compliance officers and experts can use to ensure adherence to local, national, and international policies, rules, and regulations. Bots can also locate and remove PII data, conforming to governmental information management policies.
Better Employee Data Management
Beyond compliance, proper management of employee data - such as address changes, promotions, or vertical movements to different departments - means keeping that information updated. This process can be full of errors and time-consuming. Intelligent automation pulls the data together, reduces errors, accelerates cycle time, and reduces costs.

Payroll and Accounting Departments
Those in charge of payroll and benefits tracking find automated HR and record retrieval particularly helpful. They can update benefits such as vacation or sick pay accrual. They can also generate statements or other documents to communicate more effectively with employees and management.
Compliance, Safety, and Auditing Professionals
Automation systems enable HR departments to plan and identify needs, such as certification expiration dates, and register employees for renewals. Most importantly, these systems are secure and allow companies to keep data safe, limiting access to private information.
Management and Leadership
Leaders can use automated record retrieval to assess work performance, make decisions about pay, or decide promotions. This software is also helpful when helping employees chart a career path, delivering training, or planning skill development programs.
IT and Security
Record retrieval automation is easy to deploy, adjust, and manage. They also include additional security features and reduce network demand. Lastly, automation makes it easy to develop and execute document retention schedules to purge unnecessary data without violating laws and regulations.
