Getting More Out of Your Human Capital: Automating Document Management

What drives your performance? Human Capital.

Today as in the past, human capital effectiveness is still the main driver for success in Shared Services. Many companies are still struggling with what may seem elementary, however: managing the enormous amounts of communication between the HR function and its employees.

Routine, repetitive tasks are time-consuming when handled manually, but are also easily automated through new solutions like Accenture’s Quick Document Builder (AQDB), which incorporates the best of imaging software and automated workflows. These kinds of technology solutions let you send out communications that used to take hours in just minutes.

To illustrate, let’s look at an example. Say an organization with 30,000 staff sends out 2 documents per year to each employee. At 15 minutes a document that translates into 15,000 man hours. On top of that, now consider that a2011 survey by Accenture found that 80% of respondents operate without a standardized method for generating HR-related communications. That presents a huge opportunity cost to more than three quarters of the organizations out there. An opportunity that modern software can solve.

So now your HR team is left with tons of extra time – all of which can be invested into doing what HR does best: providing value-adding human resource services that help get the most out of that most valuable of assets: your human capital.
