Abstract

The topic of employee onboarding robotic process automation, or RPA, in the workplace tends to bean emotive one. Critics cite nightmare scenarios ranging from the loss of back-office jobs to a full-scale dehumanisation of processes. HR is one of the areas now looking seriously at incorporating RPA into its working processes and a lot of the focus is on the onboarding function. The onboarding process equips new joiners with the necessary knowledge, skills and behaviours to prepare them for their new workplace. This process usually begins before the first day and subsequent addition to a company’s payroll and internal databases, and is an essential part of embedding a newly-recruited employee in the organisation. The idea of removing human input from the traditionally core HR activities of recruitment and embedding of new joiners might seem high risk to some, but it’s extremely easy to make the benefits of targeted automation clear.
