Making the switch from paper to electronic employee files doesn’t have to a frightening experience. There are paperless HR solutions available now that make it easy to transition from filing cabinets to a true electronic filing system. Best of all, these systems aren’t just an interim solution – they provide robust file management and online workflows to ensure your files stay paperless going forward.

Automate Paper Employee File Conversion

Paperless HR solutions should include an easy way for your team to automate the conversion of your existing paper files. A popular method here is Barcode Recognition. Re-usable barcoded cover sheets are slipped in front of each folder section to identify them before scanning. You can then scan the entire folder to the cloud at once. The system will know where to automatically file everything inside from your barcode sheets. 

Going forward, you can also scan a stack of paper for different employees directly to the cloud (skip the barcode sheets). You can then break the scan down into separate documents for different employees from your screen.

Onboarding and Other Forms in the Cloud

Some paperless HR systems can connect to onboarding solutions. This opens up an entirely new level of efficiency. New hires can review, fill out, and legally sign all of their onboarding forms online. Once completed, they are automatically filed in the employee’s electronic folder. 

The same process is extremely useful for forms that might be outside the onboarding process, too, like policy acknowledgements or renewals on earlier forms. Either way, there’s no need for paper forms anymore. 

Built-In Disaster Recovery and File Audits

One of the advantages of a paperless HR system is that it is often-times compliant right out of the box. Built-in disaster recovery and file audit tools are a few of the big ones. These types of systems should be designed with security features like real-time, redundant backups that allow for uninterrupted access to your files. 

Since file audits are so common for Human Resources professionals, audit reports should be available to your staff as well. These automatically keep track of required and expiring / renewable documents in employee folders to ensure everyone is up-to-date in the event of an audit.
