Started in the 1980s, the digital transformation of companies (back then we spoke more of computerization) first took shape through the installation of ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning systems). Accounting and finance software followed, then CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tools. And HR, you may ask? Although it was long overlooked, that is far from the case today. The maturity of HR tools (HRIS) is no longer in doubt, and it would be a shame to miss out on them during a digital transformation project in your company.
Why should you consider digitalizing your HR processes?
Quite simply because administrative tasks still take up most of the HR team’s time, whether for recruitment or employee management. One third of the time is spent on administration! At the expense of managing the company’s human capital.
Think efficiency and productivity : No more paperwork! An HRIS automates and streamlines all HR processes. Each employee can access all their administrative documents (leave, expenses, payslips…), and managers lead their teams more easily. HR can share documents and communicate more easily with managers and employees.
It is a CSR topic : Dematerializing a large number of HR documents will help you reduce your environmental impact. A plus, and a guarantee of a good reputation for your company.
And finally, an employer branding issue : this ties in with the previous point. CSR has become a societal issue that resonates strongly with job seekers. An argument not to be overlooked. Added to this is employees’ familiarity with digital tools in their daily lives. Staff appreciate finding that same convenience at work (e-signing the employment contract, sharing appraisals and submitting expense reports are all opportunities to project a modern and dynamic image of the company).
A closer look at the Recruitment module
Imagine your recruitment dashboard with a global view of your job offers and the related applications. Applications flow in directly from your website. You track applications easily and sort them with a simple drag and drop into the stages you have defined beforehand: 1st interview, 2nd interview, Not selected, etc. An email to the candidate is triggered automatically. You build your database of skills and profiles with indexed documents.
The Odoo modules dedicated to HR (Employees, Time Off, Recruitment) can be complemented by other modules of the application suite: the eLearning module for employee training; the Sign module for electronic signature of contracts and other administrative documents; or the Surveys module, which makes it easy to run regular surveys among employees.
Time savings, reliability, convenience, centralized information… At a time when remote work has taken a major place in our working habits, digitalizing HR should no longer be optional. Yet in these times of crisis, the HR function suffers from a lack of process automation. HR digitalization has nonetheless become accessible to every company, which is what Odoo has proven with an intuitive, functional application suite at an ultra-competitive price.
