The benefits of implementing basic digital processes in your business
It is more important than ever for businesses to implement basic digital processes into their daily operations in today's digital age. By doing so, you can get critical insight into your employee data such as ethnic and gender diversification, easily share policies and ensure your staff have the tools to adhere to company procedures.
You can be forgiven for running your employee data and leave management in spreadsheets and excel, but as your company grows this will not be sustainable. Imagine attracting first in class talent and asking them to fill out an excel sheet to apply for time off! Embrassing right?
