Ready to get rid of all that paper already?  Maybe you’ve even already tried scanning employee files to a network shared drive.  As you’ve probably already found out – it can be a long and frustrating process to get all of your legacy paper files into an electronic filing system. 

The good new is that there is a quick and easy solution!  Here’s how HR can go paperless in 30 days with a scan-to-cloud filing solution.

Shortcut To Electronic Files

The typical scanning process is long and drawn out.  It typically goes like this: Manually scan each document to your desktop, apply the correct naming convention, creating the appropriate folder structure, and find the right place to save the file, (repeat forever and ever). 

Thankfully, there are filing systems designed to make this process easier.  Enter the Scan-To-Cloud Filing System.  Scan-to-cloud filing systems have built-in tools designed to help automate the conversion paper files.

For existing files, you can convert and file an entire employee folder in one shot, saving the HR team a ton of time.  Simply slide a piece of paper with a barcode in front of each section and scan the whole folder at once.  They system will know exactly how to file everything based off of your barcoded sheets.

No More Paper Forms

Most folders are built from forms that the employee has to sign.  These are commonly found as tax forms, onboarding documents, policy acknowledgements, and the like.  What if you could remove the need to have these forms completed on paper in the first place?

Now HR can have staff review, fill out, and legally sign all of their forms online.  Once completed, they are automatically filed in the employee’s digital folder for easy longterm management.  This way, HR can stop the generation of paper before it even starts. 

Paperless Benefits

Going forward with electronic employee files brings big benefits for the company.  Now HR, Payroll, Leadership, and Supervisor teams can all instantly access the documents they need from anywhere removing any lag-time from common workflows.

Audits are much easier with automated reports to alert HR when staff are missing required documents from their folder, or when a file is coming up for renewal / expiration.  You can even give auditors access to just the files they request remotely so they don’t have to come into the office. 

Best of all, disaster recovery is built-in with a cloud filing system.  All of your documents and data are replicated and backed up in real-time so that nothing is ever lost in the event of a disaster.  This is a huge improvement from paper files that have to be physically moved or manually replicated to ensure safety during a fire, hurricane, tornado, or flood.

Eliminating all of the paper that comes across your desk may seem like an impossible dream, but it’s not.  All over the US and across the world, organizations are switching away from paper.  The benefits of electronic employee files and paperless form processes are too big too ignore.

Here are some of the ways going paperless gives time back to Human Resources professionals.

Online Forms

Much of the paper that’s kept in employee folders is created from the onboarding process.  By having new hires complete their forms electronically, you can significantly reduce the amount of paper produced from Day 1. 

New staff can now review, complete, and electronically sign their documentation online or at a device in your office.  Better yet, this strategy isn’t limited to employee onboarding.  You can extend the same process out for other forms like policy acknowledgements, performance appraisals, and more.

Automatic Filing

Reducing the amount of paper used for forms is an excellent first step, but what happens afterwards?  Many companies still wind up printing after onboarding.

With the right HR filing system, completed forms can be automatically filed in the employee’s folder for you.  There is no need to print and scan, or to split apart large PDF’s.

Best of all, your access and reporting rules are automatically applied as your new hire documents are filed, ensuring consistency.

Easier File Management

With all of your employee documentation in the cloud, file management becomes much easier for the HR team.

Audits become stress-free with automated reports to alert your team of missing or expiring documents in staff folders.  You can even make requested files securely available to auditors off-site.

Keeping sensitive documents locked down electronically is also much simpler than duplicate files across multiple filing cabinets.  You can assign access to HR, Payroll, supervisors and other staff by a number of categories like the employee’s status, department, region, office location, folder section, document type, expiration date, etc.

Going digital also affords fast filing all around.  You can automate existing paper conversion with scan-to-cloud tools, and easily deal with daily additions to employee folders.  Drag-and-drop or scan directly to employee folders in the cloud.

It’s that time of the year again.  Office life is winding down and staff are thinking about all of the amazing possibilities the new year can bring.  Is a more streamlined HR department on your team’s wishlist?

Here’s how to take your Human Resources office paperless in 30 days to start 2018 off strong.

Scan To Cloud Filing

Converting your existing paper files can be a fast and easy process with the right tools.  Scan-to-cloud filing systems allow your team to skip many of steps typically found in the traditional conversion process, providing a shortcut to electronic employee files. 

Barcode cover sheets can be used to categorize your folders during scanning to automate the conversion of an entire employee folder.  As the whole folder is scanned at once, the system knows how to file everything based off the barcode information.  

You can also scan a batch of unrelated paperwork to the system and break it down into separate documents for different employees from your computer screen.

Paperless Forms

Most HR departments find that a majority of paper is created from various signature processes.  From the initial onboarding packet to ongoing forms like policy acknowledgements and performance appraisals, forms can can be a huge part of an employee’s file.

Moving away from pen-and-paper processes can help alleviate much of hard-copies typically generated in the HR office.  Nowadays, online forms, esignatures, and digital workflows are replacing traditional paper-intensive processes.

This can benefit both HR and staff with a more streamlined form-completion process, plus automated filing after signatures.

Easier File Management

Cloud filing systems are extremely popular for electronic employee file storage.  Since your files are managed from the cloud, staff can access the documents they need from anywhere, at any time for simplified audits and quicker collaboration.

There’s no longer a need to manually keep track of required and expiring documents in employee folders.  A simple audit report ensures your HR team knows exactly which staff are missing certain documents; and which staff have document coming up for renewal in the near future.  When an auditor requests documents, simply make the specific files they ask for available to them remotely.

Tired of payroll staff and supervisors asking for copies of files?  Simply give them access to just the types of files they should have access to in the system, for the just the staff they oversee.
