Digitalization of HR is key to unlocking the full potential of an organization

hr digitalization

The current decade is a time of the biggest digital transformations for businesses, and as a result, for employees as well. To fully take advantage of the potential within companies, they must analyze their plans and strategies, and based on that analysis, reorganize their processes to be able to respond to the challenges that the market is currently presenting. This is the time for Digital HR.

 

This is the time for Digital HR.

 

Digital HR is not just about using technology to automate processes, but also about using data to drive decisions, engage employees, and create a better employee experience. It’s about creating a culture of continuous learning and development, and empowering employees to take ownership of their own careers.

Digital HR is the optimization of the process in which social, mobile, analytical and cloud technologies are used to make HR more efficient, effective and connected. In other words, it is a true earthquake in the way Human Resources operates.

Particularly important in this process will be a much wider view of the role of Human Resources departments. Like never before, technology development and new applications for existing ones will affect how the employee-employer relationship looks like. Properly selected tools can reduce the number of paper documents in the HR area by as much as 90%, support the building of employee engagement and automate benefit processes such as sports cards or medical packages.

The concept of business value is constantly changing, today human capital and employees’ know-how are as important as profit and profitability. Therefore, the influence of HR departments on building the future of businesses will grow every year. Digitization and automation of HR processes will be key for people responsible for human capital to be able to devote maximum time, energy and attention to creative work that will give measurable benefits to the organization.

The mere application of new technologies is not what makes HR digital. As Jeff Mike, Vice President of Deloitte, puts it: “Digital HR is not just about using technology to automate processes, but also about using data to drive decisions, engage employees, and create a better employee experience. It’s about creating a culture of continuous learning and development, and empowering employees to take ownership of their own careers.

 

"Digital HR should also align culture, talents, structure and processes to balance efficiency and innovation, as well as sustain measurable impact on the larger organization as it continues to transform"

According to Dave Ulrich, one of the biggest “gurus” in the HR world, the journey to the world of Digital HR in any company involves four phases:

  • HR Efficiency. In this phase, companies invest in and build technological platforms that effectively manage
  • HR processes; often through existing HR technology providers.
  • HR Effectiveness. In this phase, technology is used to modernize people practices (hiring, training), performance management, communication, and work.
  • Information. In this phase, information is shared to gain business impact. Data is accessible, internal data is combined with external data, and people analytics is used to create business-relevant insights.
  • Bond/Experience. In the final phase, digital HR is used to create bonds between people. Social networks are used, experiences are created between people, and technology enables a stronger sense of belonging.

In Motivizer, we digitize and automate processes in the HR department, including document circulation, submitting and accepting all types of requests (related to ZFŚS and others), activating and closing subscriptions from external providers (medical, sports, group insurance etc.). We automate accounting, reporting and a freely configurable notification system. We enable real digital transformation of the HR department, reducing the physical circulation of documents to the statutory minimum.

The Motivizer system integrates with financial and accounting systems, automating the accounting of pay components and others within individual needs. A fully flexible, state-of-the-art administrative panel allows managing approvals of requests and other actions by HR administrators, with the participation of members of the social commission, trade unions, and other stakeholders.
