HR needs to be just as efficient as other departments. That’s why they must take new approaches that streamline processes and reduce time spent on non-strategic tasks. 

2. Digitization

From paper files to electronic files. From phone calls and office hours to on-demand service. HR will be better by going digital.

In the world of Amazon and Uber, employees deserve a consumer-like experience—and HR is going to deliver.

How we incorporate product feedback at PeopleDoc

Here at PeopleDoc, I’m responsible for our Employee File Management and eSignature applications. Along with my colleagues on the Product team, who are in charge of other applications, we receive a lot of feedback about how to make our HR SaaS product better.
