Between managing remote and hybrid workforces, grappling with COVID-19-induced employee churn, and gearing up for open enrollment season, HR teams are busier than ever. Faced with all the paperwork that needs to be completed to fulfill these activities, HR professionals can quickly find themselves pulled away from the responsibility at the heart of their roles: helping people within their company.

For HR professionals currently overwhelmed with their workloads, automation can help. Many of the more routine back-office tasks within their roles can be automated so that they’re not only executed more efficiently, but also so that HR professionals can focus on effectively engaging current and prospective employees.
