30% of work activities at over half of the jobs in the US, according to some sources, could be automated. That's the equivalent of a day and a half's worth of work time every week that most employees could claw back if their processes, workflows, and tasks didn’t require as much hands-on attention!
While many HR pros and leaders perhaps fear the time and knowledge-transfer investment needed to set up automation, the work of planning and implementing automations doesn’t actually have to be complicated and it shouldn’t be feared. The trick, says today's guest, is knowing what you want to do, recognizing what you can do, and then figuring out which tools you need to put it in motion.
If you're looking to learn about processes and tools that can give you the power to easily automate workflows and manage business processes with no coding skills required, you've come to the right place!
In this HRchat, we consider tools to automate tasks. Listen too, as we consider an 8-point framework to help guide you through the steps you need to take in order to automate any process or business workflow.
Bill's guest this time is Ananth Avva, President and COO at Pipefy, a workflow management software on a mission to empower 'doers' and transform the way teams work.
Questions Include:
- Pipefy tries to help to automate lots of jobs traditionally done by humans. Can you share examples of tasks your team can help allocate - at least in part - to the robots? (e.g. Employee Onboarding, Purchasing / Procurement, Customer Onboarding, Accounts Payable, Marketing Requests, Hiring / Recruiting, and Expense Reimbursement)
- We've just come through 18 months of crisis. Why are companies that jump on the workflow automation train today better set to be future-proofed against further crises?
- Pipefy and JazzHR partnered in 2021 to empower HR professionals to streamline and augment their hiring process with custom, automated workflows. We've previously featured JazzHR on this show and love what they do. Tell me about
