The Importance of Streamlined HR Processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Overhauling your HR processes can offer a host of benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Higher productivity<\/strong>. The right processes give employees the framework they need to do their jobs\u2014and do them efficiently. This leads to higher productivity across the board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Higher employee engagement<\/strong>. Better processes are easier (and less frustrating!) for employees to navigate, leading to higher levels of employee engagement and satisfaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reduced costs<\/strong>. Improving processes can lead to eliminating redundancies and outdated processes or software\u2014which, in turn, reduces costs and save resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Bottom line? HR process improvements help you better support your team\u2014which leads to increased productivity, engagement, and job satisfaction while reducing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how do you improve HR processes in a way that will drive actual results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nHow to Identify HR Process Problems & Blockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The first step to improving HR processes is identifying what needs to be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"HR](\"https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/17065920\/process-problems-1024x552.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhile every team and company is different, when you\u2019re navigating a remote or hybrid work environment, there are a few key HR process problems and productivity blockers you\u2019ll want to look out for, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overly Manual Processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Manual HR processes, like handing out training documents to new hires or collecting timesheets, might have worked when your entire team was sharing an office space. But when managing a distributed workforce, HR processes that require a lot of manual oversight aren\u2019t effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lack of Centralized Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Suppose your documentation is scattered across multiple locations and hard for employees to find. In that case, your HR team will be constantly fielding questions and requests (think questions and requests like, \u201cI don\u2019t know where to find my pay stubs. Can you help me?<\/em>\u201d or \u201cI just moved to a new apartment. How do I update my address and tax information<\/em>?\u201d)\u2014which isn\u2019t a productive use of time for employees or<\/em> HR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slow Onboarding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you want new employees to be successful at your company, you need to set them up for success\u2014and a large part of that falls on HR\u2019s shoulders. Without the right HR processes (for example, a virtual onboarding portal), onboarding can feel confusing or overwhelming for new team members, especially if they\u2019re navigating the process from home\u2014which can lead to retention issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor Collaboration <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Outdated or ineffective HR processes can cause collaboration issues between team members working in different locations. For example, if employees don\u2019t have clear processes in place for how to navigate their workflows, it can be hard for them to get on the same page and collaborate when they\u2019re working remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, outdated HR processes can cause serious issues for remote and hybrid teams. But the good news? With the right streamlining strategy, you can alleviate all of those issues\u2014and empower your team, no matter where they\u2019re working from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/17065911\/streamline-1024x552.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you want to improve HR processes within your organization, you need the right tools. Ideally, the right HR process improvement tool will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Be easy to set up<\/strong>. You want a good tool, but you don\u2019t want to spend months trying to figure out how to set it up. A good HR process improvement tool will be easy, intuitive, and fast to implement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Be easy for your team to use<\/strong>. While you always want to implement tools that are easy for employees to use, it\u2019s especially important when employees are working in a remote or hybrid environment\u2014and will often have to navigate these tools on their own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Save your team time and energy… <\/strong>HR process improvement tools are designed to streamline processes\u2014so they should cut down on the time and energy it takes for both HR teams and employees to navigate those processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u2026and save your organization money.<\/strong> The right tools should help your organization cut down on costs, whether that\u2019s by increasing productivity or eliminating the need for redundant systems or software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Integrate with the tools you\u2019re already using.<\/strong> If you have tools you\u2019re currently using and want to keep using, it\u2019s essential to look for a tool that seamlessly integrates with your existing tech stack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The good news? There\u2019s an HR process improvement tool that hits all of those marks: GoLinks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
How GoLinks Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
GoLinks is a tool that empowers organizations to improve their HR processes through more efficient knowledge management and sharing. GoLinks transforms long, impossible-to-remember URLs into short, memorable, intuitive links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because go links use simple words and phrases (like go\/HR-paperwork<\/strong> or go\/benefitsinfo<\/strong>), team members can easily access and share go links from memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes it easier for HR teams to get the right information to employees\u2014and for employees to find the right information when they need it, without monopolizing HR\u2019s time or wasting a ton of time and energy trying to track down a specific URL, document, or file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/17070045\/go-links-1024x500.png\")

- \n
- Making hiring easier.<\/strong> GoLinks allows HR teams to easily find, share, and manage employee documents and new hire paperwork.

- Improving onboarding.<\/strong> GoLinks allows new hires to easily find and navigate the information they need for onboarding, whether that\u2019s training manuals or HR policies\u2014which makes the process faster, easier, and more efficient. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Better disseminates updates<\/strong>. Because go links are short, intuitive, and easy to remember, it\u2019s easier for HR teams to share information and important updates with employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Keeping employees engaged<\/strong>. GoLinks makes it easy for employees to navigate HR processes, so less time, energy, and frustration are spent on those processes. This can help lead to higher engagement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Integrating with existing HR tools<\/strong>. Are you already using a host of tools to manage your HR processes? Not a problem! GoLinks seamlessly integrates with a variety of human resources tools<\/a>, including Zenefits<\/a>, Greenhouse<\/a>, and Trinet<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

For example, Instacart uses a variety of GoLinks\u2014like go\/benefits<\/strong>, which grants access to important benefit documentation, and go\/[group]<\/strong>, which connects new hires with relevant employee resource groups. This helps new hires get up to speed and quickly move through onboarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
