Digitization is the key to more automation
ENERCON’s human resources department has to deal with different documents every day. There were multiple versions of documents on various devices in the past, and files often had to be printed, signed, and scanned multiple times. The average human effort for the employment contract process was more than 1,000 hours per year.
“In some cases, employment contracts with more than 60 pages of attachments were sent to the applicant. However, some documents, such as the gift guidelines, are completely irrelevant for the future employee at this stage.” says Anke Klöpper, who is responsible for the digitization project.
In order to automate HR processes, it was clear to her and the management that a software solution was needed. Eventually, this should relieve HR departments of their daily duties while achieving a high level of compliance and security within the company.
