HR teams still spend much of their week chasing signatures, retyping data between spreadsheets and answering the same leave and payslip queries. Digital tools can return that time for recruitment, development and employee relations, but only if processes are understood before they are automated. This five-day programme starts from the basics.
You map and simplify current HR workflows, then see how an HRIS, applicant tracking, e-signature, employee self-service and workflow automation tools handle recruitment, onboarding, attendance, leave, performance reviews, learning records and exits. Sessions introduce low-code approval flows, forms, templates, dashboards and simple people analytics such as headcount, turnover and time to hire. Change management, vendor selection, data migration, cybersecurity and employee data privacy complete the picture, with attention to how mobile-first workforces in Africa use these tools. The course is written for HR officers and managers, HR assistants, administrators, payroll staff, recruiters, small business owners, and public sector and NGO personnel moving from paper to digital. It runs in classroom sessions, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can propose a prioritised automation roadmap and build a simple digital workflow for an HR process.
Human resource departments hold some of the most sensitive and process-heavy records in any organisation. Contracts, leave balances, appraisals and disciplinary files often sit in folders, inboxes and personal spreadsheets. As organisations grow, expand to new locations or adopt remote work, this approach produces delays, errors and compliance gaps, and it leaves HR with little time for strategic work.
The programme introduces digital HR in a structured way for people with no technical background. Participants begin by documenting how a process works today, identifying delay, duplication and risk, and deciding what should be fixed before technology is applied. They then explore the types of tools available, from complete human resource information systems to lightweight forms and workflow apps, and learn how to define requirements, compare vendors and plan a rollout.
Hands-on sessions cover automation of common processes such as onboarding checklists, leave approvals, document generation and reminders. A further module shows how to turn HR data into useful reports while respecting privacy and security rules. Participants conclude by preparing an automation roadmap and a business case for their own organisation.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
