Digitization in HR...HR is no longer joining formalities, final settlements and payroll processes

Pick a resume of any HR professional with an experience base of 1-5 years and invariably you will observe that the experience is inundated with trivial operational matters like joining formalities, master trackers, final settlements, induction, payroll and recruitment coordination.

While some of these tasks are essential and needed to be performed , the real problem is in this being the end in itself. Most of these HR professionals do not know much beyond this elementary work and hence are unable to provide solid value adds to the companies they advise.

Fortunately at Bluesky all these mundane tasks are handled by our in-house HRIS software called Bluebuddy which is introduced free of cost to our clients. Bluebuddy is more of a decision making support system for HR and CEO's informing you of the strategic decisions needed to be taken and also simultaneously relieving the HR professional of the operational chores.

Digitization in HR is finding great favour and initially while it focuses more on the operational chores like payroll and compliance's, going forward it would focus on aspects like talent pool, competency development and performance system.

SMB's do not have heavy budgets for HR and the budgets that they can expend get consumed in hiring HR professionals that relegate themselves doing such base level work leaving them with no time to handle the crux of HR challenges. In fact SMB's need support systems and advisory services on talent acquisition, accountability of people, measuring systems, compensation aligned with performance and talent depth.

I wonder if the present HR set of professionals are able to fill in these shoes...
