Did you know that a recent study by ADP found that only 9% of managers are happy with their organization’s onboarding process? That is a dismally low figure from those interacting with your staff on a day-to-day basis. If 91% of managers are unhappy with your onboarding process, just think of how your new-hires feel. The question is, “How can we improve our onboarding process?” The answer may lie with a paperless onboarding solution.

Going paperless improves the onboarding experience.

“The first days and weeks on the job for new employees are crucial and make or break a new employee’s impression on whether or not they want to stay. It is both an exciting and stressful time. The last thing a new hire wants to do is sit in isolation, wading through mounds of paperwork.” – Anna Carsen, ADP. Think back to your first day on the job and I’m sure you will agree with Anna. No new employee wants to waste their first day with a stack of relentless paperwork. The good news is, with a paperless onboarding process, your new staff can review, fill out and legally sign all onboarding documents online BEFORE their first day on the job. Your new hires show up on Day 1 ready to join the team and hit the ground running. Don’t stifle their enthusiasm with a day full of paper-pushing.

Paperless onboarding saves a ton of time for HR.

Assembling paper onboarding packets can be a real chore. It involves a lot of printing, copying, scanning, stapling and review before all is said and done. If your organization has a high turnover rate or is growing quickly, using this paper onboarding process can be incredibly tedious. With a paperless onboarding process, your HR team will have templates for all of your different onboarding packets ready to go. When a new employee is hired, HR simply has to select the appropriate onboarding packet and enter the new-hire’s name and email address. Workflow and routing for the packets can even be built directly into those onboarding templates so you know the appropriate people have always reviewed the information they were supposed to. Best of all, completed and signed onboarding documents are automatically filed in that new employee’s folder automatically.

Human Resource departments are incredibly important to any organization. On any given day, your HR team is working on a variety of responsibilities and dealing with a ton of paperwork. With that much paper-pushing involved, there is a lot of room to make things run smoother. Switching to electronic personnel files can help streamline your existing workflows and save your team serious time and money. Here are 3 simple ways electronic personnel files can help boost productivity across your entire HR department. 

Instant File Retrieval

We all know how frustrating managing paper files is. Many of us envision bulky filing cabinets, overflowing with paper folders that are bursting at the seems.. And many times, this is HR’s reality! No matter how often your team goes through and re-organizes everything, you can rest assured that your file draws will return to chaos quicker than you would like. This makes finding documents incredibly irritating and time-consuming.

Electronic personnel files allow HR to do away with disorganized filing cabinets. Instead, your personnel files are stored in an electronic system that allows your team to retrieve files instantly, from anywhere. Pull up files based upon the employee’s name, ID number, department, or other identifying factors. You can even run filtered searches to pull up files based on department, document type, region, etc. With electronic personnel files, the documents you need are always right at your fingertips.

Paperless Onboarding

​Onboarding a new employee requires a lot of paperwork. From HR’s perspective, this process is extremely inefficient on paper. Everytime a new-hire joins the company, your team needs to download, print, copy, assemble and prepare the onboarding packet for your new employee to sign. These repetitive tasks can be completely eliminated with a switch to electronic personnel files.

With paperless onboarding, online forms and esignatures take the place of pen-and-paper onboarding forms. Instead of filling out all of their paperwork in your office on their first day, new hires can review, fill out and legally sign all of their onboarding documentation before their first day on the job. Once finished, all completed onboarding documents are automatically filed in the new-hires electronic personnel folder. The best part is that it only takes HR about 30 seconds to send out an onboarding packet this way.. Simply select the appropriate onboarding template, enter the new-hire’s name and email address – and you’re done.

Automatic Audit Reports

Human Resources spends a lot of time ensuring that their records comply with state and federal regulations. One of the most important aspects of compliancy is making sure all of your employee folders contain all required documents and that everything is up-to-date. With a paper filing system, this can be a complete nightmare. With electronic personnel files, however, you can maintain compliance automatically.

Electronic personnel files allow you to run automatic reports on your staff folders. These reports will check to see that all personnel folders contain all required documents and that all time-sensitive materials are up-to-date. With an electronic system like this, your team can be automatically notified when an employee’s folder is missing required documentation or when a training, certification or policy acknowledgement is coming up for renewal.

Hiring’s a tricky business. There is a delicate balance between getting someone that is perfectly qualified for the position and making sure that person is secure and happy in their new role. This predicament is all too clear in a recent study showing that more than half of new-hires that leave their job will do so within the first year. So, the question becomes, how does the company better retain employees? Or, at the very least, how to make HR as efficient as possible in dealing with turnover? Here are a few ways moving to an electronic onboarding process can help.

Improve employee retention with electronic onboarding.

The onboarding process is one of your new employee’s first experiences with your company – so, let’s make it a positive one! Having a well-defined onboarding process in place will help your new-hire feel at ease and give them confidence that they have joined a modern company that values efficiency and progress. Electronic onboarding solutions also help your new employee move through their packet easier. Information that they have already entered will be auto-completed on forms that come later on in the onboarding packet. Not only does this save a ton of time and effort for your new-hires, but it also cuts down on typos as they only have to enter important information like their address and SSN one time.

Electronic onboarding helps HR manage high turnover.

In certain industries like Retail, Leisure, Transportation and Temporary Staffing; high turnover can be something that is hard to avoid. For HR departments in these areas of business, an efficient electronic onboarding process is essential. The most important thing to avoid are redundant tasks that your Human Resources team typically does every time a new employee is hired. Electronic onboarding systems allow you to create templates for your different onboarding packets. When it is time to onboard a new employee, simply select the appropriate onboarding template, enter your new-hire’s name and email address – and you’re done. Your new employee can review, fill out and sign everything paperlessly from their desk, in your office, on a tablet or even from home (before their first day on the job). 

Implementing electronic onboarding is easier than ever.

Getting started with electronic onboarding is a quick and simple process. Paperless HR solutions like DynaFile combine employee file management with electronic onboarding. So, once your new-hire’s onboarding packet is completed, it is automatically filed in their digital folder. Best of all, onboarding templates can be sent out time and time again so HR no longer needs to waste time copying, scanning, faxing and mailing documents.

HR Loses Nearly 10% of Personnel Files

by

Did you know that 7.5% of HR files are lost? Making the switch to electronic employee files can help put an end to that.

Ditch the costly paper chaos with DynaFile's electronic employee files. Streamline HR processes, eliminate lost documents, and unlock significant savings. Discover the modern way to manage your personnel documents, optimize productivity, and reduce expenses. Ready for the paperless revolution? Request a free demo today!

Managing files is a tricky part of any business. It typically involves a lot of shuffling through filing cabinets, a few paper cuts and sometimes a little bit of pulling your hair out. The root of all evil here is the very thing you are trying to manage: paper. The funny part is that nowadays, there is no reason to keep working with paper. With modern electronic filing systems and advanced scanning automation techniques, businesses can now go paperless faster than they ever thought before. Let’s take a look at some of the numbers to see if switching to electronic employee files can help your team.

7.5% of files are lost.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, finding a lost document will cost a company $122 on average. It is also estimated that 7.5% of all company documents are lost completely. Let’s assume your company employs 1,000 staff and that each personnel folder is roughly 100 pages thick. That tasks HR alone with managing 10,000 documents. That would mean, about 750 of those documents are doomed to be lost, ultimately costing your company around $91,500. Plus, if you had to recreate any lost documents, the time and supplies involved would make that number jump well over the $100,000 mark.

It costs $25,000 to fill one file cabinet.

One three drawer filing cabinet can cost around $300, hold 9,000 pages of documents and require about 20 sq. ft. of office space. As retention periods are becoming longer and paper documents continue to influx daily, many businesses have hard time maintaining that storage area. Additionally, PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that on average, a company spends $25,000 to fill one file cabinet and an additional $2,100 a year to maintain that cabinet. The fees quickly add up. 

Searching for documents takes 20% of an employee’s time.

The costs associated with finding and retrieving documents may seem invisible, but managing paper files is an everyday cost to businesses. It has been estimated that searching for documents takes about 20% of an employee’s time. Let’s say you have 10 employees, all with access to search and retrieve documents. At 20%, the accumulative time spent finding documents is equal to 2 full-time employees. Let’s say you pay $40K in annual salaries per HR employee, that’s $80,000 every year in productivity lost by using a paper based filing system.

The cost required to maintain a paper filing system can often be easily overlooked. However, when you sit down and really look at the resources spent on managing paper, you can quickly see how expensive it really is. DynaFile is a employee file management solution that makes going paperless quick and easy. Scanning automation tools convert your existing paper files fast, cloud document management gives your team secure access from anywhere and electronic onboarding lets you stop producing paper from the very start.

Keep Your Important Documents Secure and Out of the Hands of Hackers

by

Experts advise using a cloud document management solution to keep files secure and off of local drives targeted by ransomware.

Ransomware attacks are rising, putting your valuable documents at risk. Shield your data from hackers with our cutting-edge cloud document management solution. Prioritize security, prevent potential losses, and safeguard your business. Act now to ensure your files stay protected. Contact us for a safer tomorrow.

Hackers make headlines in America yet again. From recent past attacks on Home Depot, Target, and Sony, to the new breach on Anthem Blue Shield, and Ransomware, they’re getting in and getting information one way or another. They’re going after files, credit card numbers, social security numbers, emails, phone numbers, entire computers, tax records, income reports, and home addresses. With these new threats, having a secure document management solution in place is key for all businesses.

The new type of malware called Ransomware is currently adversely affecting at least one million Americans. From small businesses to government agencies, these hackers are not limiting their sights. The hackers break into company computers via email. They send out an email claiming to be a trusted organization like the DMV or a health company to get people to open the email. They then trick the users into downloading a file, and at that point they’re in. Once they have the files, they hold the computer ransom until they are paid the said amount in the specified window of time they’ve provided. 

“Ransomware is a growing Internet scam that preys on fear. The online shakedown uses sophisticated methods to hold data hostage unless the user pays a fee of up to six hundred dollars. Bruce Snell of McAfee Security offers consumer tips on how to avoid ransomware attacks: Think before you click. If something looks suspicious or too good to be true, it is probably best avoided. Don’t click on unexpected links or attachments in e-mails. If a friend sends an e-mail with an attachment out of the blue, contact that person directly to make sure he actually sent it. A quick phone call or text message asking “Did you send me a file?” will do wonders for keeping you safe,” CNN.

Some companies have lost years worth of files. Eric Young of Tennessee said, “We had 72 hours and, as he tried to find solutions, the cyberthieves were slipping into every company computer — starting with Victim No. 1 and ending in the company’s servers. Our database was encrypted, and we lost everything we had built for 14 years,” NPR.

Security experts also believe that by paying the ransomers are only making the situation worse. However, it is unknown what the hackers will do with the files and information if the owner does not pay up. It’s likely that people who don’t pay the thieves will end up suffering from identity theft down the road. However, for those businesses that have taken the time to store data else where, document retrieval is possible and can save the important files despite losing computers. Experts advise using external hard-drives, a cloud document management solution, and being sure to properly disconnect computers from the hard-drives as good ways to prevent losing information.

Prevention is worth its weight in gold, and experts suggest large companies focus far more efforts on keeping their data secure than they have been. Don’t lose years of important data, documents, and files because you are hacked. Please contact us to get your data in a secure environment before it is too late.

Most Human Resources departments have huge amounts of paperwork and many HR professionals spend a lot of time processing personnel documents. An average personnel file contains more than 40 different records.

An online HR filing cabinet is an excellent system that Human Resource departments can use to go paperless. Scanning automation tools scan, index and file documents in the correct location, in a secure virtual cabinet. You can access it from almost anywhere and share files as needed. It is a centralized electronic cabinet for storing personnel files that allows your team to reach the files they need quicker.

Streamlining: Scanning automation transforms your paper files to electronic format quickly and easily. Your staff can then virtually print or save documents into an employee’s folder from any application they are working in. Online forms, electronic signatures and automated workflows let you take your pen-and-paper processes like employee onboarding completely paperless.

Secure Storage: Online filing keeps your information safe. The documents are stored offsite and automatically backed up. You can add custom document control for specific users to make sure that only authorized individuals view important data.
