But with 8 offices across the U.S. and over 700 lawyers and staff, managing paperwork presented a logistical hurdle. 

The Challenge:

Thompson Hine, with hundreds of employees spread across the U.S. in different offices, faced a significant challenge: the need for remote access to personnel files and the ability to manage documents efficiently from any location.

Transformative Results:

With hybrid filing options and multiple document upload methods, flexibility became the name of the game. Armed with enhanced remote access, HR and admins could access files from anywhere, fostering secure cloud workflows while embracing the remote work revolution. The intuitive search functionality and indexed filing made document retrieval a breeze. And the onboarding integration? It was like a time-turner, automatically importing new hire paperwork with the correct types and descriptions, saving precious time and reducing manual data entry.

Revolutionizing School Admissions: How DynaFiles Education Document Management Created a 100% Efficiency Boost for Paul Mitchell Schools

by

DynaFile’s robust education document management features gave a digital makeover to the school’s student onboarding and admissions process.

Education Document Management

Challenges with Paper-Based Education Document Management Systems

Like many educational institutions, the student admissions process can present a paperwork overload. For years, Paul Mitchell Schools operated on a traditional, paper-based system for managing student files. With over 100+ franchised locations, inefficient filing methods proved cumbersome and costly. Imagine the tedious task of storing, boxing, and archiving paper files every couple of years, only to face a labyrinthine search process during record audits. This paper-heavy legacy filing system was a significant bottleneck to productive workflows.


The Solution: Embracing Cloud-Based Efficiency with DynaFile

The game-changer for Paul Mitchell Schools was adopting DynaFile’s cloud-based education document management solution. This strategic move transformed their entire document-handling process. By digitizing and centralizing student files, the schools gained online access to critical information from anywhere, at any time. The integration with tools like PandaDoc and DocuSign not only saved time but also streamlined the entire onboarding process for incoming students. On top of that, the team benefited from additional features like document preview during uploads that increased filing accuracy and secured and controlled cloud access, which created an audit-ready environment.

Recession-Proof Your Organization with Document Management Automation

How HR Tech & Employee Record Filing Automation Can Help Your Business Survive the Economic Downturn.

Recession-Proof Your Organization with Document Management Automation

As we face the current economic downturn, with inflation running at its highest level in more than 40 years and the strong possibility of an upcoming recession, many organizations are turning to investments in digital transformation to brace for uncertain times. 

Leveraging industry-leading HR technology to automate many of our day-to-day tasks can help enterprises address these workforce challenges and allows employees to use their time and skillset more effectively.

Here is a look at how workflow automation tools such as a cloud-based electronic employee filing system can streamline processes and help ease the burden of increased operational costs.

Free Up Time to Focus on Core Business Goals
Filing cabinets quickly become disorganized, and papers can easily be misfiled or lost. Modernizing the time-consuming and labor-intensive admin processes such as employee record filing will save money and give your HR team time to drive goals forward and focus on employee experience and retention. To make filing and retrieving your documents as quick and easy as possible, DynaFile indexes them with metadata and automatically files them to the cloud. Documents are always stored in the right place so your team can instantly access what they need from anywhere. 

Go Paperless & Save Money on Costly Office Space
Let’s face it; commercial property is not cheap, so paying for extra office space to store paper files doesn’t make good business sense. You can take an entire department paperless through scanning automation tools and ditch the filing cabinets and employee records rooms. DynaFile’s scan-to-cloud document management system has powerful scanning automation tools. Barcode recognition automatically organizes and files your documents to an employee’s folder as they are scanned. On top of that, batch processing can handle the stacks of unrelated papers, so you can import them to DynaFile and utilize on-screen processing to break apart and index them directly from your web browser. If you are already paperless, electronic documents can be brought into the system via drag-and-drop drive, saved to DynaFile directly out of the application you’re working on, or “virtually printed” into an employee’s digital folder.

Powerful Integrations Make for Seamless Automated Onboarding
Employers are battling a constant demand for labor and record high quit rates due to the Great Resignation phenomenon. According to the Labor Department, employers added 528,000 jobs in July. With such a competitive job market, onboarding automation tools can help HR be better prepared to fill open positions. Robust integrations sync with your HRIS and streamline personnel record management across the entire employee lifecycle to save time and improve compliance. New hires can review, fill out and legally sign all their onboarding documents online through DocuSign, iCIMS, signNow, JotForm, PandaDoc, and Adobe Sign before their first day. Once completed, all onboarding paperwork is filed automatically in the new employee’s folder. After they are onboarded, your team can easily add documents to staff folders in formats you use every day: paper, emails, electronic files, ATS, HRIS, and more. 

Address Security Issues that come with a Remote Workforce
Allowing private data to get into the wrong hands can set your company up for a data breach and severe adverse consequences. As businesses navigate the new working environment in post-pandemic times, they should closely look at the systems and policies in place regarding handling sensitive employee records. Maintaining compliance & employee records security while working offsite is vital to your staff’s privacy. Utilizing a cloud document management system provides secure, instant access to your staff files regardless of where your admin or HR team is located. When the time comes for a compliance audit, or you want to collaborate with other members of your team, encrypted document links and segmented access rules give access to only the staff folders and types of documents they should be authorized to view.

Automate Admin Tasks & Boost Your Productivity with DynaFile
Investing in the Digital Transformation of your HR employee filing will streamline workflows, cut costs, and increase your team’s productivity. Implementing DynaFile will not only future-proof your document management solution but will also give you quick-to-implement, cost-efficient, and effective automation to weather the economic uncertainties ahead.

In the Era of the Great Resignation, Onboarding Automation can be a Key Strategy for Building an Engaged Workforce.

With Electronic Employee Filing Tools, HR is Better Prepared to Fill the Growing Demand for New Hires.

Thrive amidst the Great Resignation with DynaFile's Electronic Employee Filing. Optimize onboarding in this digital age, ensuring an engaged & inspired workforce. Witness HR transformation. Book a demo now!

The Great Resignation
It has been almost a year since Anthony Klotz, a psychologist, and professor of business administration at Texas A&M University, coined the now-famous phrase when he said, “the great resignation is coming.” His prediction still holds up based on government statistics, with a U.S. quit rate of at least 4 million people leaving their jobs each month since July 2021. Likewise, the numbers go the other way, with a staggeringly high rate of new hires in every major industry. Given these figures, it is time for organizations to move from a reactive state of pandemic survival to a new proactive phase where strategies are put in place to plan for growth. Therefore, companies must lean on HR to find ways to innovate and maintain their ability to attract and retain the right talent.

Empower HR and Adapt to the Future of Work
There is no doubt that HR serves one of the most critical functions in a corporation. They are responsible for employees’ performance, productivity, and efficiency, but more than ever, they need to be the driver to keep the workforce engaged and inspired. In this new era of onsite, remote- and hybrid work environments, they must determine how people can function at their best. In addition, there is a higher awareness of what challenges employees face both inside and outside of work and how to provide extra mental and physical health support to battle the workforce fatigue. Investing in a digital transformation and implementing an electronic filing solution to streamline processes such as onboarding new employees can give HR time to focus on the people who make businesses succeed.

Let’s dive into some of the features of a digital document management system that can add efficiency to your team.

Automated Onboarding Integrations
Streamline onboarding workflows with seamless Integrations.
As companies experience a shift in their workforce, HR can get bogged down with the admin work involved in onboarding a flood of new hires. Implement an electronic employee onboarding solution that gives you the tools to complete the onboarding process remotely. Go digital with online forms from trusted sources such as DocuSign and iCIMS automatically create new hires’ folders. Such systems make it easy for new employees to complete their forms online and all documents are automatically added to their employee records once finished. Powerful integrations sync with your HRIS and streamline personnel record management across the entire employee lifecycle to save time and improve compliance. 

Seamless Integrations & Electronic Signatures
Replace paper forms and contracts with digital versions that can be completed and signed online.
A good document management solution is ready for the challenges of managing employee files in today’s hybrid and distributed workforce. With a quickened pace of changing policies, they often must get written and approved in days, not months. A complete solution will use electronic signatures for internal approval processes or get documents filled out and legally signed without paper forms. If that same system can play well with others and includes integrations with DocuSign, signNow, JotForm, PandaDoc, and Adobe Sign, you can securely send documents to be signed online. Whether used for an internal approval process, onboarding new employees, or getting signed contracts, e-signature integration can help streamline your business process.

Scanning Automation
Automate Administrative Processes with Electronic Employee Filing
Paper filing systems can cause your Human Resources department a great deal of frustration. With all of that paperwork floating around, it becomes easy for documents to get misfiled, lost, or generally inaccessible. Scan-to-cloud document management systems have powerful scanning automation tools built right in. They can include automation tools like barcode recognition that let you spend significantly less time converting paper employee files to electronic format. Another good feature is Batch scanning tools that make it easy to scan in a stack of paper and easily file it away in the correct place from your computer screen. 

Cloud Collaboration
Cloud file storage lets you access and manage employee documents securely from anywhere.
Another successful strategy to keep up with today’s environment ensures that HR can get to shared digital versions of necessary documents anywhere. In a fast-paced workplace, you need to find employee records with a click so you can move on to more significant tasks. Effective systems index documents with metadata properties to be filed automatically and retrieved quickly. The metadata also allows you to run reports on-the-fly across your entire online filing cabinet at once. You can keep track of required and expiring documents in staff folders automatically, so there is never a scramble in the event of an audit. It’s a huge plus and compliance booter if there is segmented access, so permissions can be set for individual users or groups of users and applied to specific types of documents. You can give auditors access to specific documents while eliminating file requests from payroll, location partners, and department managers and they can view them remotely from the cloud.

Discover Industry-Leading Electronic Employee Filing & Welcome in the Great Retention
A paperless, cloud-based HR employee file management system could offer your organization many vital benefits and quickly become HRs best friend. Automating your document management solution gives time back to your team to focus on strategic initiatives and drive business goals forward.

Top Benefits of Digitzing HR Employee Filing in 2022

Discover why leading HR experts trust DynaFile. Get started today!

Top Benefits of Digitizing HR Employee Filing in 2022
Looking to streamline processes, maximize efficiency, and increase productivity? It’s no secret that employees work more productively when they aren’t weighed down by old-fashioned paper files and can find what they need immediately. As 2022 grows closer, many organizations are looking to improve processes for the coming year. One of the most significant areas to consider is your document management strategy. The following are some of the top benefits of making the digital transformation in the New Year.

Maximizing Efficiency
One way to maximize efficiency is by eliminating unnecessary steps that waste time. With many HR professionals working from home, timely access to your files is a real issue. By digitizing all employee records into one location, employees can securely access those files from anywhere with internet access, helping streamline processes and increase productivity without compromising compliance. 

DynaFile’s indexed filing solution allows you to store your documents in a secure cloud for instant access from anywhere, at any time. Instead of just dropping files in a folder and hoping you can find them later, every single document is indexed. That means you can effortlessly search to find it 2 or 10 years down the line. You can scan, upload, and retrieve documents quickly in batches instead of going one by one. And, best of all, HR can determine precisely how things are labeled and organized, making it a quick and easy transition to a new system. 

Increasing Productivity
Good HR cloud storage software should make your work life run smoothly by giving you the tools you need to support the HR department and the entire company. A paper-based employee file can be nearly impossible to keep organized. An extensive employee count, rapid growth, or high turnover only make it more difficult.  

DynaFile’s secure, cloud-based platform gives you instant access to essential documents and saves hours weekly, allowing you to give more time back to your team while increasing productivity. Powerful integrations will enable you to seamlessly connect to HRIS/HRMS solutions like ADP, Ceridian, Kronos, Oracle, Paychex, Paylocity, PeopleSoft, SAP, UltiPro, and Workday.

Streamlining Processes
HR employee filing can be a significant pain point for businesses. What happens when there’s a new hire or an employee resigns? Without an efficient HR file management system, you could spend hours searching through paper files and manually inputting data into HRIS systems. 

Implement an electronic employee onboarding solution that gives you the tools to complete the onboarding process remotely. Go digital with online forms from trusted sources such as DocuSign and iCIMS that automatically create new hires’ folders inside DynaFile. From there, your team can easily add documents to staff folders. Streamline document management across the entire employee lifecycle to save time and improve compliance long term. 

Minimize Paper Use
Dealing with paper documents is a hassle. It’s not just that they’re heavy and bulky; it’s also more challenging to access them than electronically stored files. A single employee or hiring manager can end up with a lengthy paper trail including hundreds or thousands of pages. 

Scan-to-cloud document management systems have powerful scanning automation tools built right in. These allow you to digitize and file entire employee folders with one scan. Batch scanning tools make it easy to scan in a stack of paper and easily file it away in the correct place from your computer screen. 

Avoiding Compliance Issues
Keeping employee records up-to-date and compliant can be highly tedious, and the HR team is responsible for ensuring employee files are up-to-date and managed with compliance. When an auditor inevitably requests to check on your files, HR must know their files are current with all required information. 

The right document management solution lets you quickly see if staff folders are current with required documentation, making audits seamless and hassle-free. Reports keep track of required and expiring documents in staff folders automatically, so there is never a scramble in the event of an audit. Files are indexed and highly organized so that you can control access to sensitive types of documents like I-9’s, medical, vaccination status, and other confidential records. You can give auditors access to specific documents while eliminating file requests from payroll, location partners, and department managers, and they can view them remotely from the cloud.

Make the Digital Transformation in 2022
A paperless, cloud-based HR employee file management system could offer your organization many key benefits in the New Year. Automating your document management solution gives time back to your team to focus on strategic initiatives and drive business goals forward.
