RPA(Robotic Process Automation) is one of the supreme technologies that is completely changing the way businesses tackle routine and repetitive tasks. A recent poll conducted by Deloitte confirmed that RPA is a proven and viable solution with almost 74% of the respondents voting that they are planning to explore this technology in the near future and over 22% of them already have implemented RPA. 

Automating operational and administrative tasks of the HR team helps them to free up a great amount of time and resources that can be spent on more strategic and productive actions.

How is RPA applicable to Human Resources?

From hiring candidates to ensuring that all the laws and policies are in compliance with the government regulations, the HR department is burdened with a plethora of tasks. Automating the process by using software tools can help an HR free of the time that otherwise would have been spent on tedious paperwork. 

RPA is a software robot that can automate highly transactional processes for the HR department that don’t require human intervention. The process involves a robot program performing a higher volume and repetitive operational tasks of the HR team. These include tasks like the onboarding process of new joiners, benefits enrolment, compliance reporting, etc., tasks that usually require an ample amount of manual and repeated labor work. 

Apart from diminishing manual error rate, RPA is also instrumental in increasing the speed of data processing and enhancing accuracy. 

Benefits of RPA in HR and payroll 

By implementing human resource automation, businesses can dramatically decrease monotonous processes and allow HR managers to focus on more strategic tasks. Here are a few of the ample benefits that RPA provides to HR:

• Enhanced accuracy and productivity

By using pre-coded technology, robotic process automation minimizes the margins of errors. Moreover, by freeing the HR managers by performing these mundane tasks, RPA allows them to focus on strategic goals for the company, thereby increasing their productivity.

• Consistency

With the help of hyperautomation, HR can expect their tasks to be finished within the required time frame, without any hassle or errors. One of the key benefits of RPA is to perfect the replication of tasks and eliminate any kind of output variation during ongoing processes.

• Scalability

With RPA, the cost per task or process is substantially low while being operated at scale, and it can additionally be ramped up or down as per the requirement. This means minimal wastage of resources and efforts for the overall business. 

RPA technology is turning out to be an up-and-coming technology, and enterprises are now beginning to realize the benefits this technology is offering. By cutting down costs, improving efficiency, RPA is improving the overall quality of HR operations.
