Going Beyond Spreadsheets with HR Tools

HR tools that use AI and automation are gaining popularity as they offer tons of benefits that typical spreadsheet systems just can’t. When a company wants to streamline operations, scale, or even improve the employee journey, modern tools are innovating the way forward.

Why Spreadsheets Aren’t Viable

Spreadsheets have their uses. However, they aren’t up to the tasks that modern companies require. In a fast-paced world, accuracy, speed, and optimization are critical. Data inaccuracy due to human error, management challenges across multiple spreadsheets, and a lack of collaboration are all common issues faced by HR teams when using spreadsheets exclusively. Services such as Unit4 are transforming how employers can optimize their day-to-day ops.

How HR Tools Benefit Companies

There are many HR tools available for helping teams manage operations, especially when it comes to recruitment, payroll, and onboarding. A core benefit of modern AI HR tools is efficiency. Automation in recruitment tasks, payroll, and onboarding saves time and resources. However, there are also other benefits. A centralized storage system ensures data is managed in a better way. HR teams can also use data for analytics across multiple employee performance metrics.

The many systems and protocols involved in employee management can be confusing. Fortunately, most complex systems can be broken down so we can understand them better. Charts and graphics are excellent for visualizing how systems can help across departments.
