The Opportunity: Automating HR‘s Growing To-Do List
HR teams face immense pressure today. As companies scale, manual tasks explode in areas like:
- Compliance – 20% annual increase in activities [1]
- Recruiting – Average job attracts 250 resumes to screen [2]
- Onboarding – 69% still use paper forms [3]
Overburdened HR staff spend 40% of their time handling transactional duties rather than strategic talent initiatives [4]. Costs also mount to over $400 per hire for manual paperwork [5].
But by leveraging automation, teams can redirect hours once spent on administration to focus where they really add value. Leaders empower staff to maximize strengths like:
- Retention programs – Building career growth and learning opportunities
- Diversity & inclusion – Ensuring equitable treatment and advancement for all
- Business partnership – Advising executives on planning with workforce insights
Forward-thinking HR directors are turning to platforms like Freshteam to transform inefficient manual processes through automation and insights.
