It might be when you hear the word ‘automation’ you think of robots building products and machines taking over human jobs, but that’s not the case. Automating your business processes simply means you’re employing technology to the repetitive day to day tasks at which humans can be inefficient, inconsistent and exposed to risk. Automation drives advancement, not by eliminating jobs, but by eliminating repetitive job functions.

“We now have the ability to use machines to support and augment people to help them realize their potential, not have them bogged down in paperwork and systems data entry,” Ms. Hill said. “We need to think about how to identify the right work for people.”

Automation means less paperwork, fewer forms, and reduced human error. By allowing employees to better utilize their skills elsewhere, you minimize wasted time, simplify workflow and elevate the overall level of work.

Take Your HR Forward

Human Resources (HR) departments deal with a lot of document- driven processes. From recruiting and onboarding, to navigating compliance issues, to documenting employee information, to making sure employees are paid properly, each process is essential to the core of the company. Unfortunately, many HR departments rely on manual processes to get things done. Replacing multiple manual processes with a platform that connects everyone and everything in your business, minimizes cost and risk.

By automating HR processes with the Odyssey platform, not only can you check, update and manage employees information all in one place but self- service automated responses also becomes a reality.

Top 3 Benefits of Automation for Your HR Department

  • Increase Productivity and Enhance Job Roles: Anyone whose worked on administrative tasks knows that repetitive, robotic tasks are not good for motivation, or productivity levels. The Odyssey platform automates such processes freeing up staff time to focus on more challenging jobs that yield greater satisfaction. Keeping your employees happy means higher productivity levels and ultimately, higher profits.
  • Data Security and Risk Management: Odyssey sees risk management as a priority––not an afterthought. Accidental human mistakes can lead to great consequences in matters such as legal issues or tax disputes. You can eliminate any potential risks and concerns in data security with one simple platform. Utilize a platform that automatically backs up your data, and eliminates any possibility of human error.
  • Increase Precision and Customer Loyalty: No matter how precise and attentive to detail an employee is, there is always a small chance for error. An email could be left unread, or unsent, or a ticket could be dropped or left incomplete. The Odyssey Platform includes an automated knowledge base that generates automated responses to customer inquiries and emails.

Example HR Processes you can Automate using the Odyssey Platform

1. Recruitment: Odyssey provides you with a recruitment app, OTMS, or Odyssey talent management system. A pilot program, that gathers candidate information into a centralized system. From there, HR staff, can track candidates, track positions that those candidates have been submitted to, track the interview process and relay the results. It can take a lot of effort to keep the recruitment process on track and up-to-date—or it can be done simply and better with the Odyssey Talent Management System.

2. Onboarding: Once a person is hired, onboarding new staff into the company requires a lot of human resource time, paperwork and forms. Automation simplifies the process and gives new employees instant access to the necessary accounts, resources, and information needed without time- consuming, manual, paper- based processes. Check out this video to see how Odyssey can significantly simplify your employee onboarding process.

3. Timesheet Tracking: Realtime tracking of employees with a precise online tool can help business owners improve productivity levels by using the data provided to compare the quality of work and time spent on it. Automating this process, eliminates the risk of human error, improves efficiency and allows HR staff to focus on more important matters that benefit the business.

4. Employee Management: You can simplify your HR processes by having a central HR system that tracks all employee records including: resumes, work permits, contracts, benefits and basic employee information.

5. Payroll: Automating the monotonous payroll process will not only minimize the margins of human error but will also ensure employees are paid on time, and simplify any changes that need to be made such as: overtime, bonuses, and commissions. This reduces risk, clutter, and chance of errors.
