Today, employees expect the same kind of ease in employee services that they expect from consumer services. The modern workforce wants processes to be fast, efficient, automated, userfriendly and accessible on the move.
They expect the seamless timely delivery of cross-functionally dependent services that they have grown used to with Amazon. Simple tasks like applying for time-off need to be fast and seamless. Meeting these expectations is not optional and is crucial to attract, and more importantly, retain quality talent.
In a recent survey however, it was found that as many as 8 in 10 companies, both large and small – still use unstructured manual tools such as email and spreadsheets. While the modern workforce continue to evolve, it is essential for organizations to leverage technology to accommodate for them.
However, building the technology in-house is difficult, time-confusing and expensive. Additionally, having multiple portals for different HR processes can leave employees frustrated and confused. Moreover, it has been found that complex processes usually push employees to directly contact HR. This can cause negative employee experience and difficulties for HR teams to manage routine calls and enquiries.
Engaging a modern workforce that is social, mobile and flexible requires a revolutionary leap instead of several incremental steps. This is where ServiceNow and HCM tools prove to be a great solution for your organization.
Human capital management platforms like Workday, SuccessFactors and Oracle provide a robust solution for HR professionals to run their operations efficiently.
In addition to features for managing talent, benefits, compensation, recruiting, time & absence and payroll, they also include powerful analytics, workforce planning and self-service options to enable HR managers and employees to quickly access information and submit requests.
HR professionals are also your employees and form an integral part of your ‘customer’ experience upgrade. With a good HCM solution, HR work is simplified and HR professionals will have more time to focus on strategy.
ServiceNow is cross-functional consolidated system of engagement with powerful knowledge and case management platforms with automated documentation. ServiceNow HR Service Delivery provides users a one-stop solution for users to access information, use self-service, make requests and interact with HR. ServiceNow’s integration with other enterprise platforms including HCM tools, enables enterprises to deliver a consistent and unified employee experience.
By integrating ServiceNow with a HCM tool, HR can employ prioritized/tiered service delivery and eliminating routine calls and queries with automation.
Both ServiceNow and major HCM tools include powerful self-service capabilities that enable employees to make changes and submit requests. Employees can navigate through the knowledgebase and get redirected to relevant self-service forms either on the HCM tool or ServiceNow to make changes or submit requests
Investing in a HCM tool helps simplify some HR operations, but certainly not all of their operations. In an outsourced HR world, organizations will continue to depend on multiple 3rd party providers and multiple legacy tools.
ServiceNow integrates with and provides a single system of engagement across all HR providers and tools including HCM resulting in a unified interface for HR teams and employees. With an elegant portal and powerful knowledge management, ServiceNow's tiered service delivery provides employees a common starting point and routes them to the tool they need.
HCM tools are also generally limited to the operations of HR, and they cannot streamline workflows dependent on other departments. ServiceNow's cross-functional system of engagement cuts across HR and other teams including IT, Legal and Facilities and automates interdependent workflows across the enterprise making it engaging for everyone involved.
Employee life events like marriage and childbirth require departments beyond HR to assist with actions including name change, beneficiary setup, changes in work arrangements, payroll adjustments for deductibles and insurance policy updates. ServiceNow automates these workflows upon an employee life event and brings together all departments involved.
Each industry has its own dynamics that drive a modern employee and HR experience – organizations with retail or plant presence require significantly different engagement from organizations with larger corporate presence like banking and hi-tech. ServiceNow can drive employee productivity, lower operating costs, and improve HR team performance through a consistent system of engagement.
