Common HR problems facing businesses include payroll processing which is done in excel, leave management, performance and appraisal, onboarding, and offboarding among other tasks that are manual.
The latest data indicate that HR spends more than 40 per cent of their time on repetitive tasks as a result of manual operations, which are time-consuming, inefficient and expensive.
