Live Online Advanced Digital HR & Process Automation Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 800
HR teams still spend much of their week chasing signatures, retyping employee data and answering the same policy questions. Every manual handoff adds delay, error and risk, and leaves little time for workforce planning or employee support. Five days show experienced HR professionals how to redesign these processes and automate them sensibly.
You begin by mapping and measuring current HR workflows, then select systems for core HR, applicant tracking, learning and performance. Practical sessions automate recruitment screening, offer letters, onboarding checklists, leave and expense approvals, contract renewals and exit processes using low-code workflow tools, forms and integrations. Analytics sessions build HR dashboards for turnover, absence, time-to-hire and pay equity. You also evaluate AI assistants and chatbots for HR, with close attention to bias, consent, data protection and audit trails. The programme is designed for HR managers, HR business partners, HRIS and payroll specialists, talent acquisition leads, people analytics staff and heads of administration in companies, NGOs and public bodies. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house. Participants finish with an automation blueprint, a prioritised business case and a change plan for staff adoption. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded on completion.

About this course
Human resource functions hold some of an organisation's most sensitive data and handle some of its most repetitive work. Hiring, joining, moving and leaving staff all generate forms, approvals and records that are often managed through email and paper. As workforces become more dispersed and employee expectations rise, this approach produces inconsistency, compliance gaps and frustrated managers.
The Advanced Digital HR & Process Automation Training Course gives practising HR professionals a disciplined way to modernise. Participants learn to document processes, find the steps that add delay or risk, and decide which deserve automation, which need redesign and which should remain human. They study HR system categories and integration, then build working automations for common requests while paying attention to approval rules, data privacy and access control.
A significant portion of the programme addresses data and intelligent tools. Delegates create dashboards from workforce data, discuss how algorithms can introduce unfairness into hiring and appraisal, and set guardrails for acceptable use. The course closes with benefit estimation, vendor selection and a practical plan for bringing managers and employees along with the change.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Map and measure HR processes to locate delay, rework and compliance risk.
- Prioritise processes for automation using effort, value and risk criteria.
- Compare HRIS, applicant tracking, payroll and learning platforms against requirements.
- Build automated workflows for onboarding, leave, approvals and document generation.
- Create HR dashboards and interpret turnover, absence and recruitment metrics.
- Assess AI and chatbot tools for bias, transparency and data protection.
- Prepare a business case that quantifies time saved, cost and risk reduction.
- Lead change management and training for managers and employees using new systems.
