As
the roles of HR keep evolving in the organizational set-up, a clear fact is
that HR is made to be directly related to strategic business planning and
initiatives.
A
recent survey on what consumes maximum HR professionals’ time versus what must
consume it revealed that the major threat to HR productivity is managing
employees that includes solving their queries, resolving issues, maintaining
discipline, and employee recognition. About 71% HR professionals admitted that
their maximum time is utilized in handling these employee issues and queries.
Other
areas that eat up their time include recruitment and company compliance matters.
Seasoned
HR professionals have a more strategic role to play in the company rather than
investing it in routine tasks. Their scope is beyond manual employee
documentation or payroll processing or taking regular employee trainings.
Moreover, these professionals also want to be in the roles of overseeing and
managing workplace culture and involving in strategic workforce planning and
other related activities.
Though
it is believed that HR people are well-trained, maximum HR respondents revealed
that they take trainings at regular intervals as well as try updating
themselves with weekly HR updates.
Thus,
the findings have clearly emphasized the need to analyze the gap between the
functions HRs are involved in and what are the ones they actually need to be
instrumental in.
These
mundane HR tasks can be regarded as the productivity killers for seasoned HR
professionals as they consume their maximum time and deter them from focusing
towards more strategic roles. However, using all-automated HRIS software can
scale down these functions and free the department from tedious manual tasks.
The
major functions include employee management, recruitment, managing timesheets,
updating employee information, Leave And Attendance Management, performance
management, etc. TeamWise can be an answer to all those HR professionals who
are looking forward to improve their performance and enhance role within the
organization. By getting adaptive to the technology and shifting routine tasks
to the system can help witness a new age HR that is more strategic and has more
power!
