Redefining Human Resources Using HR Chatbot

“Human Resources isn’t a thing we do. It’s the thing that runs our business” said Steve Wynne, Business Magnate. For organizations to run successfully, it is important that the HR department engages its workforce, attracts and retains the best talent, and maintains the best culture.

And the HR department can focus on taking care of the ‘human’ aspect of HR only when the routine operational tasks are handled properly. But the HR department is mostly inundated with time-consuming manual tasks like processing payroll, dealing with performance management reviews, etc.

Enter chatbots in HR and your HR team can focus on more strategic and ‘human’ tasks at hand, whereas the HR bot can automate the routine but equally important tasks.

Let us have a look at the benefits of implementing HR chatbots in your organization:

• Saved time and improved efficiency

  Automation of operational processes increases the efficiency and overall productivity of your HR department. Repetitive tasks prone to errors are accurately handled by human resources chatbot.

• Quick & Accurate Response

  Self-service systems that allow employees to answer basic questions themselves can boost productivity of your HR team manifold. With HR chatbots, your employees don’t have to spend their time trying to get in touch with their reporting manager or someone from the HR department. If they have a question, they can directly interact with the bot whenever they need an answer.

  And now, with Natural Language Generation, HR chatbots can even be trained to identify intent of open-ended questions and answer them accordingly.

• Onboarding a New Employee

  The onboarding process is often cumbersome. With chatbots in HR, you can speed up the onboarding process. Important documents like bank statements, identity proof, etc. can be collected via the HR chatbot. Newly onboarded employees can be briefed about company policies, roles and responsibilities using the HR chatbot. This fastens the process and eases up the load on the HR teams.

• Hiring

  Chatbots in human resources are helping in making the application process more transparent. If applicants have questions about job descriptions, company details or potential responsibilities, they can simply ask the bot and are good to go.

  A chatbot can also ask basic screening questions about the interested candidate’s skills and experience. A HR bot can also collect the candidate’s resume and contact information. It can also be programmed to rank the applicants on the basis of their qualifications and work experience.

• Sentiment Analysis

  The bot can ask employees a series of short, simple questions over a period of days or weeks. This essentially replaces the old traditional norm of feedback forms while giving the HR department actionable insight so as to make important decisions pertaining to processes or regulations.

Additionally, with natural language processing and continuous training, the bots can also evaluate, measure and understand employee sentiment accurately. This way, quick decisions can be taken to circumvent small issues before they become big.
