Live Online Best Practices in Digital HR & Process Automation Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
HR teams still lose hours to paper files, spreadsheet trackers, chasing signatures and answering the same employee questions. Meanwhile managers expect self-service, leaders want workforce data on demand and auditors expect a clear trail of every decision.
Over five days you learn to modernise HR operations without buying technology you cannot use. You map current processes, find bottlenecks, and redesign workflows for recruitment, onboarding, contracts, leave, attendance, payroll inputs, training, appraisal and exit. Sessions compare HRIS and applicant tracking platforms, selection criteria, vendor questions, implementation planning and change management. You also see how low-code workflow tools, e-signature, chatbots and robotic process automation reduce repetitive tasks, and how Power BI or Excel dashboards turn HR records into headcount, turnover, absence and cost insights. Data protection, access controls, employee consent and the ethical use of artificial intelligence receive dedicated time. HR managers, officers and assistants, payroll and administration staff, IT business partners, finance teams and organisational development advisers in companies, NGOs and public bodies will benefit. You leave with a prioritised automation roadmap and a draft business case. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Human resource functions are being asked to do more with fewer people: support hybrid and dispersed workforces, respond faster to hiring needs, give employees convenient services and provide leaders with accurate workforce information. Manual processes make each of these demands harder, increasing errors, delays and compliance exposure. Digital HR offers a way out, but many projects stall because processes were never defined clearly or because the tools were chosen before the needs were understood.
Best Practices in Digital HR & Process Automation Training Course starts with process, not software. Participants document existing HR workflows, measure effort and delay, and decide which activities should be simplified, automated or left alone. The programme then examines the digital HR landscape, including core HRIS, applicant tracking, learning platforms, payroll interfaces and employee self-service, and shows how to build requirements and evaluate suppliers.
Later sessions cover automation techniques, analytics, cybersecurity and privacy, and the human side of change. Hands-on workshops use workflow templates and sample data so participants can see the effect of design choices. Everyone finishes with a roadmap tailored to their organisation's size, budget and readiness.
Training Objectives
After this programme, participants will be able to:
- Map and measure HR processes to locate delays, duplication and risk.
- Redesign core workflows for hiring, onboarding, leave, performance and offboarding.
- Compare HRIS, applicant tracking and learning platforms against defined requirements.
- Prepare a business case that sets out costs, benefits and implementation stages.
- Configure simple automated approvals and notifications using workflow tools.
- Produce HR dashboards covering headcount, turnover, absence and recruitment metrics.
- Protect employee data through access control, retention rules and consent practices.
- Lead staff and managers through the change to digital HR services.
