Make the case for HR automation

You can see how much time your HR team spends chasing approvals, checking documents, copying information between systems and keeping processes moving.
You can probably see how much of that work could be automated, too.
But getting your leadership team on board with investing in HR automation? That's a different challenge.
We've put together two practical resources to help you explain the opportunity, show what's possible with AI and automation, and make the case for 50skills within your organisation.

Your HR systems hold the information. Who keeps the work moving?

Most HR teams already use systems for employee information, recruitment, payroll and more.
But a surprising amount of work still happens between those systems.
Someone has to chase a manager for an approval. Check that the right documents have been submitted. Send another reminder. Copy information into another system. Make sure the next person knows it's their turn.
It's repetitive work that eats into the week, even when the right HR technology is already in place.
That's where HR workflow automation can help.
50skills is an HR workflow automation platform with AI. We help HR and People teams automate everyday processes, from contracts and onboarding to approvals and employee requests.
Simply describe the HR process you want to automate and 50skills builds the workflow for you, without turning it into a months-long implementation project.
We also make it easy to put AI to work within those processes. AI can check documentation, apply rules, draft personalised communications and trigger actions to help keep work moving.
And because 50skills connects with the systems you already use, you don't need to start by replacing your existing HR technology.
Less chasing, copying and checking. More time for the conversations and decisions that actually need your team.

What could that mean for your organisation?

The strongest case for HR automation isn't about what the technology promises. It's about what organisations are already achieving.

4–5 months of manual HR administration removed each year

Icelandair estimates that its use of automation and AI with 50skills removes four to five months of manual HR administration each year.
The team has digitised more than 20 HR workflows and saved over 200 hours on onboarding alone in 12 months.
Icelandair also puts AI to work within everyday HR processes, checking documents and information, applying company policies and helping keep work moving automatically.

80% less time processing employee benefit applications

Íslandshótel reduced the time spent processing employee benefit applications by 80% with 50skills.
Work that previously took one to two hours per case can now take just 5 to 20 minutes, with some cases requiring no manual HR work at all.

200+ hours saved on one complex process

Festi saved more than 200 hours of manual work by automating its employee stock option programme across six subsidiaries.
The process included forms, contracts, electronic signatures, payroll uploads, reminders and employee progress tracking.
Different organisations. Different processes. One common result: less manual HR work.
These are individual customer results, not guaranteed outcomes. Your results will depend on the processes you automate.

Two resources to help you make your case

Whether you're exploring HR automation for the first time or preparing to discuss 50skills with your leadership team, these resources will help you move the conversation forwards.
