Even today, when organizations are moving towards increased automation of routine functions, HR processes in many SMEs are manual and essentially document-driven. In a manual set-up, the human resources function involves dealing with a number of documents – from joining formalities to exit formalities, as well as everything in between (application, approval of leaves, performance tracking, appraisals).
Making the move to HR process and workflow automation
Like in the case of any other country, the HR processes across businesses in the UAE also have to comply with the UAE’s regulatory policies and labor laws. The human resources team in any organization has their hands full with day-to-day tasks, and worrying about keeping up with compliance procedures can take a toll on their efficiency.
All around the world, SMEs are looking to automate various organizational functions, so why leave human resource and workflow management behind? An automated HR system can help automate critical HR functions that most companies regularly spend valuable time, money and resources on.
