How Many Filing Cabinets Do You Have? Backfile Scanning for HR

This blog post is part of the Instream HR Document Management Resource Guide

The entire office ecosystem depends on HR to be efficient and timely. Manual, paper-based HR processes are largely inefficient, often leading to errors and delays. In order to ensure office efficiency, HR departments need to continuously be at the top of their game, delivering fast information, while maintaining personnel data. The last thing your HR department needs, is to be buried under mountains of paper documents.

HR departments are responsible for creating and maintaining a large number of personnel- related files. Typically, for each employee within a company, there could be up to 100 paper documents. Paper documents are costly to maintain and store, requiring both employee labor and company resources. HR departments are notorious for having to deal with a high volume of paper documents, as employee records are constantly being generated. Therefore, HR employees need a solution that will streamline HR processes and improve productivity.

Just a few of the many types of HR documents include:

  • Job Descriptions
  • Applications
  • Expense Reports
  • Resumes/CV
  • Contracts
  • Union Agreements
