The demand to increase our business output in a highly efficient low cost manner, is ever increasing. Have you considered how much time and resourcing is being invested in day to day tasks that aren’t revenue or profit producing – aka ‘admin’ tasks, and what that cost is to your business?
Imagine for a moment that an employee takes ten minutes to locate an expense or annual leave form, print it off, and fill it out, and hand it to their manager. The line manager takes another 10 minutes to review the request, co-ordinate the request with business demands, and process the request. The line manager gives the leave request to HR, who spend ten minutes manually typing the leave request into a master spreadsheet, and scaning a copy of the form for their records. That is 30 minites per employee, just for a leave request. A complex expenses claim could take even longer. With an average of 20 days of annual leave per year, taken across 5 separate blocks, that works out to two and a half hours per employee per year. If you have 200 employees, that means that an average of twelve and a half weeks is consumed every year just on leave requests.
Automating those every day ‘admin’ tasks can help deliver those efficiencies, but you need it to be done in a way that offers minimal disruption, a seamless user experience, and rapidly returns value to the business.
