Data Management: Managing the data of employees, potential candidates, legal compliance related data, etc. required a lot of space and were not very easy to locate when needed. Cloud storage has now allowed to store data on cloud using electronic files (e-files). This made data storage easy to organize and was available within a few clicks. This streamlining has saved paper, space and a lot of time thereby improving the level of security and confidentiality too.
Performance Management: Various software using HRIS (Human Resource Information System) like ClearCompany, Halogen Performance, PerformancePro, High Ground, Lattice, and Big Data Analytics have made performance management of employees more accurate and helped in giving suitable rewards to the personnel. This has resulted in increased employee satisfaction and loyalty towards the work and organization.
Flow of information: Can we imagine a day without our office inbox not functioning? No right? Technology has made communication between people within an organization easier by giving and receiving prompt replies and important information over emails or in-house messengers. Cloud-based mobile platforms allow employees to access relevant information easily and initiatives like work from home and while on holidays have been made possible for the welfare of the employees.
Despite the huge list of advantages, many organizations today have still not adopted the technology based HR systems. The benefits of cost saving, time saving, accuracy and environment protection far outweigh the initial challenges of setting the system and welcoming the change. Hence, I believe this is just a matter of time and soon all the organizations would embrace this new change with both arms open also because using technology in Human Resource just like in any other function will be the only way out to sustain and survive the competition of the dynamic corporate world.
