Employee Files in Cloud are Making Document Management Easier for HR

July 31, 2018 by Andrew Roberts

Human Resources professionals are moving towards cloud document management solutions more and more these days for an easier way to administer employee files. 


Redefine HR efficiency with cloud document management solutions. Dive into DynaFile's transformative tools, from eliminating record silos to auto-filing forms and managing paper effortlessly. Streamline HR tasks, and let your team focus on what truly matters: the people. Harness over two decades of expertise – Contact us to discover a smarter way to manage HR documents.

Cloud document management solutions for HR can bring big benefits to the entire team.  When HR can spend less time worrying about saving, finding, and keeping track of files – everyone wins. 

A good HR file management system will allow your team to consolidate files for easier management while automating redundant processes.  This allows HR to focus less on the mundane and more on people-oriented goals.  Here are some of the ways to achieve this with an HR filing solution like DynaFile.

Eliminate Record Silos

When it comes to filing in the cloud, there are three main flavors for HR: Cloud Storage, In-House File Share, and Cloud Document Management. 

Lots of HR departments evaluate the document storage that is offered through their HRIS, but tend to run into issues in a few key areas.  Most importantly, files can be hard to keep organized, you may not have the ability to control access to sensitive documents, and there may not be a way to know if someone’s folder is incomplete. 

In-house file shares tend to have the same issues as HRIS storage, plus a few extra red flags.  An in-house system adds the burden of your IT team being required to keep the system and environment running smoothly.  There can then be a compliance problems that occurs if IT has access to the files. 

A true cloud document management system for HR allows teams to:

  • Instantly access files from anywhere,
  • Run audit reports to keep track of required and renewable documents in employee folders,
  • and maybe most importantly – maintain rigid control over access to sensitive documents.

Since you have full control over the files that different teams, roles, and individuals can access in the system, there is no longer a need for record silos.  Consolidation is a powerful thing when you can centralize file management across the HR office, yet easily maintain compliance.

Staff can now access the files they need from anywhere, at any time without the lag time typically associated with a record request or employee verification.

Auto-File Staff Forms

A good portion of an employee’s file typically consists of forms they have either completed as part of the onboarding process, or post-hire forms like performance appraisals and the like.  Getting these forms completed on paper can be a serious challenge, so many HR professionals look for a digital solution.

A lot of HRIS providers have an onboarding module where new hires can complete their onboarding forms.  This works well for standardized documents like tax forms, but you are limited to the types of forms the HRIS allows to flow through the process.  

Many companies have moved to a more flexible process for their forms in the Human Resources department.  Electronic signature solutions like DocuSign, for example, can be used to get any type of form completed and signed online.  It can be used for onboarding forms, but also for post-hire forms like performance appraisals, policy acknowledgments, and requests. 

The best part about a more flexible solution like this is that it can also connect to an HR-specific filing system like DynaFile.  When everything is completed and signed, it is automatically filed in the employee’s digital folder in your filing system. 

Easily Manage Paper

A big hurdle a lot of HR folks run into is paper.  No matter how paperless your HR department goes, your team will inevitably still have someone handing you a piece of paper from time to time and you need an easy way to get it into their electronic folder. 

The other side of coin is that a lot of Human Resources offices haven’t made the transition to digital files just yet, which makes this subject all the more important to mention.

Scan-to-cloud filing systems have become exceptionally popular with HR.  These systems include scanning automation tools that allow your team to take a shortcut through the file conversion process.

DynaFile, for example, provides a barcode scanning method where you can convert and file an entire employee’s folder in one scan.  The system picks up from the barcodes exactly how to create the employee’s folder and file everything in the appropriate spot.  Going forward, you can also scan a batch of paper to the system and break it apart into different individual documents from your computer screen.  Using these two tools, most HR departments can be paperless in 30 days.

HR Now Scans to the Cloud for a Shortcut to Digital Files

February 20, 2018 by Andrew Roberts

Is your Human Resources department evaluating a move to electronic employee files?  These days, the path to a paperless HR office can be quick and easy with the right tools.


Revamp your HR processes with DynaFile's cloud scanning! Convert paper archives, streamline workflows, and elevate file management, all while enjoying a swift transition to a paperless HR office in just 30 days. Unearth the future of HR documentation with DynaFile. Dive in now!

With the introduction of scan-to-cloud filing solutions like DynaFile, Human Resources professionals can now take a shortcut to electronic files.  By design, scan-to-cloud systems include scanning automation features that make the conversion of paper files a fast and painless process. 

Going forward, streamlined file management gives time back to the HR team in a number of ways.  Here’s how it works:

Converting Existing Paper

DynaFile gives HR the option to automate the conversion of the entire current paper archive in-house. 

Barcoded sheets are slid in front of each tab to break the folder down into different sections for things like Personnel, Payroll, Benefits, Performance, etc.  One more barcode sheet unique to the employee goes as the very first page in the packet.  You can then scan the entire folder at once and DynaFile will know exactly how to file everything based off of your barcode sheets. 

Alternatively, a scanning partner can convert all of your existing paper files and import to DynaFile for easier ongoing file management.

Staying Paperless

Going forward, digital forms and esignatures move pen-and-paper workflows to the cloud to stop paper generation before it starts.  Now processes that used to be paper-intensive can be executed completely electronically.  Once the signature process is finished, signed forms are automatically filed in the employee’s digital folder. 

With your files in the cloud, staff can now also instantly access and add to employee files.  Simply drag-and-drop digital files or scan paper documentation directly into employee folders. 

Lasting Benefits

Employee file audits are a lot easier than they used to be on paper.  Automated file audit reports tell the HR team which employees are missing required documents in their folders and which staff have forms coming up for renewal.  If an auditor makes a file request, you can give them remote read-only access to just the files they need to see.

Sharing files between different teams is simple, too.  You can choose which types of files are available per individuals, teams, departments, locations, etc.  This allows HR to consolidate employee documentation into one system while maintaining compliance and eliminating lag-time for file requests. 

With cloud filing systems, you also receive the advantage of automatic backups for built-in disaster recovery and record retention. 

Paperless In 30 Days

How Water-Tight is HR’s Disaster Recovery Plan?

Experience robust security, real-time backups, and quick fail-over times with DynaFile. Secure, streamline, and safeguard your HR files today. Request a demo!

In the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, companies are taking a closer look at their file management processes. The Human Resources office is one spot where a natural disaster can cause serious damage. It’s critical for HR to have a strong disaster recovery plan in place as it seems that these days, we should expect the unexpected.

The Challenge of Paper Files

Paper files can be a real headache to manage. They are easily misfiled, misplaced, crumpled or lost – it is just so easy for filing cabinets to become disorganized. For these reasons, many companies are moving to electronic employee files.

Going paperless with your employee files also provides another huge benefit: Built-In Disaster Recover.

Electronic Files Ease The Pain

Electronic employee files provide a HR with a step up from traditional paper filing cabinets. With electronic files, employee documentation from various folders can be consolidated into one comprehensive system. This eliminates the problem of Record Silos while improving compliance. Simply use Access Rules to control what types of documents different users can see in the system. 

With all of your employee files consolidated in one system, managing documents becomes extremely easy. Instantly retrieve documents from anywhere, keep track of expiring and renewable documents in employee folders, give auditors remote access to the files they request, and much more. 

Best of all, with electronic employee files, disaster recovery is a breeze. Many times, a disaster recovery plan for your employee files is automatically built-in to your electronic filing system.

Most Resilient HR Filing Systems

When disaster protection and recovery is important to your team, you’ll want to consider a cloud filing system. When your employee files are stored in the cloud, they are no longer physically stored at your office location. This way, no matter what happens at your office, your files are always safe in the cloud. 

There are different levels of cloud security and disaster recovery. The most resilient systems to look for will include features like these:

Automatic Backups

You’ll want to make sure that your cloud filing system is automatically backing up your data and documents in case the cloud were to ever go down.

Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

Automatic Backups can happen at various times. Look for a system that practices Continuous Data Protection (CDP) methodology. This means that whenever documents or data are added to the system, a backup of that is automatically created and saved in real-time. 

Redundant Backups

Cloud systems can be backed up at various stages. Look for a cloud system that backs up every level of their infrastructure – from the database to the data center.

Fail Over Time

Just in case the cloud goes down, you’ll want to be sure that you can still access all of your files when you need them. Look for systems with quick fail-over time so that you can access your backups as quickly as possible.

Moving To The Cloud In 30 Days

If you need a safer way to store employee files, give us a call today at DynaFile. Our cloud filing system gives HR the assurance they need that employee files are safe. DynaFile’s disaster recovery plan is HIPAA, HITECH and Privacy Shield certified so your files are always stored securely, yet easily accessible when needed.

Best of all, DynaFile has built-in scanning automation tools so you can take a shortcut to electronic employee files. Interested in making the switch? Contact us for a free demo.

Companies Look to Paperless HR Solutions for Improved Employee File Access

September 12, 2017 by Andrew Roberts

Paperless HR solutions give companies the power of eliminating record silos to consolidate files while improving compliance.


Boost your HR's efficiency with DynaFile's paperless solution. Secure cloud storage ensures instant file retrieval, enhanced compliance, and streamlined onboarding. Transition from paper to digital effortlessly. Book a free demo now.

Has accessing employee files become a challenge at your organization? It’s a problem that is all too common for Human Resources professionals. The speed at which paper files can go from tidy to a disorganized mess is astounding.

Many companies are now moving to a paperless HR solution to help manage critical employee information. Here are some of the reasons why:

Instant File Retrieval

With a paperless HR solution, your employee files are securely stored in the cloud. Team members from different offices can access the files they need instantly without the lag time usually associated with retrieving documents. 

Since your files no longer need to be physically stored at the office, disaster recover is also one less thing your team has to worry about. Your documents are automatically backed up to ensure they are available to your team at all times. 

Easier Document Management

Maintaining compliance can be tricky when managing employee files on paper. Any documentation considered private or sensitive needs to be stored in a separate folder to ensure only authorized staff can see it.

One of the best parts about a paperless HR solution is that you can consolidate your employee files while actually improving compliance. With electronic employee files, you can consolidate documents from different sensitive folders like Medical, Benefits and I-9 into the same filing system. Simply use access rules to ensure HR, Payroll, Leadership and Managers can only see the types of documents they are authorized to see. Everything else in the system is completely hidden to them to maintain compliance.

Electronic employee files also give your team the advantage of utilizing automated reports for things like file audits. A file audit report, for example, can show your team exactly which files are missing or expired in staff members folders. That way, when audit time arrives, you can be sure all folders are up-to-date with the required documentation. You can even make the files the auditor is requesting securely available to them online so they don’t have to come into the office to do their audit. 

Electronic Forms & Onboarding

If you’re storing and managing your employee files electronically, why continue to use paper forms? Paperless HR solutions make it easy to get forms completed and signed online. 

Due to the high volume of forms, the onboarding process is the most common place to start. HR can create templates for all their forms, design the routing and workflow that goes along with the signing process, and have everything filled out and signed online. Once finished, completed forms are automatically filed in the employee’s digital folder.

Although onboarding is the most popular scenario, you can use the process above for just about any type of documentation that typically gets filled out and signed through HR. Once your team is comfortable using it for onboarding, you can always expand to policy acknowledgements, PTO request forms, performance appraisals – the options are limitless!

Getting Started

If you’re interested in moving to electronic employee files, give us a call today at DynaFile. Our paperless HR solution has been helping organizations operate more efficiently for over 15 years. Change your existing paper into electronic employee files fast, replace pen-and-paper processes with online forms and esignatures, and manage all of your HR documents easier going forward.
