Frequently asked questions
What is HR process automation?
HR process automation, often called HR automation, is the use of software to run repeatable HR tasks automatically instead of through email, spreadsheets and manual follow-up. Workflows collect information through forms, route approvals, send reminders and update connected systems for processes such as onboarding, employee requests and offboarding. 50skills adds AI that can check submissions, draft messages and flag missing information.
Which HR processes benefit most from automation?
High-volume, rules-based processes with several handoffs benefit most, because every case follows the same steps. Typical examples are onboarding, offboarding and crossboarding, hiring requests, changes to working hours, maternity leave, grant and benefit applications, and employee helpdesk requests. Íslandshótel, for example, cut the time spent on employee benefit applications by 80% across its 19 hotels using 50skills.
How much time does HR process automation save?
It depends on volume, but customer results show savings of hours per case and months per year. IGF saves 90 hours of HR admin a month, Icelandair has removed 4 to 5 months' worth of HR admin a year across more than 20 workflows, and one HR specialist reports that cases which took one to two hours now take 5 to 20 minutes with 50skills.
Can HR automation help with compliance?
Yes. Automated workflows apply the same steps and criteria to every case, so required forms, approvals and documents aren't skipped, and every action is recorded in a full audit trail. AI agents can check submissions against policy and flag missing information, and administrators can see each AI prompt, input and output. Icelandair uses 50skills to review more than 3,000 health-grant receipts against policy every year.
How do you implement HR process automation?
Start with one high-volume process, map its steps, owners and systems, then build, test and launch it before moving to the next. In 50skills you can describe the process in plain language to generate a working draft, refine it in the visual builder and connect your HRIS or other tools. Teams short on time can have specialists build it for them, starting with a workshop.
Can I track employee requests in real-time?
Yes, 50skills gives you full visibility into every request with real-time tracking, so you’ll always know where requests are in the approval process and who needs to take action.
