HR teams still spend much of their week chasing signatures, retyping data between spreadsheets and answering the same employee questions. That work delays hiring, creates payroll errors and leaves little time for the advisory role leaders expect. Five days show how to redesign HR processes so that software does the repetitive part.
You begin by mapping current workflows and spotting where steps are duplicated, delayed or risky. You then explore HRIS and talent platforms, applicant tracking, e-recruitment, digital onboarding, employee self-service, leave and attendance, performance and learning systems, and the link to payroll. Hands-on sessions use low-code workflow tools, electronic forms, approvals and simple robotic process automation to build real flows, such as a new-hire checklist or leave request. Further sessions introduce people analytics dashboards, chatbots and generative AI for drafting job adverts and policies, with attention to bias, consent, data protection and cyber hygiene. The course is intended for HR officers and managers, payroll and benefits staff, talent acquisition specialists, HR business partners, administrators and IT staff who support HR systems. It is offered in the classroom, online or in-house, and carries a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can build a business case and a phased roadmap for digital change.
The expectations placed on human resource functions have changed. Employees expect to apply for leave, view payslips and update their details from a phone. Managers want quick answers on headcount and turnover. Leaders look to HR for evidence on workforce cost and capability. A department that still relies on paper files and personal spreadsheets cannot meet these demands, and it exposes the organisation to errors and data protection breaches.
This programme covers the digital transformation of HR in a practical sequence. Participants start with process mapping and prioritisation, learning how to identify which activities are worth automating and which need redesign first. They then examine the main categories of HR technology, how to write requirements, evaluate vendors and manage implementation, data migration and change.
A substantial part of the week is spent building. Using accessible automation tools, participants create approval flows, document generation, reminders and simple integrations, and see where more advanced automation or AI fits. The programme also addresses the ethical and legal side: employee data privacy, algorithmic fairness, retention of records and transparency with staff. Participants finish with a mapped process, a working prototype, a measurement plan and a roadmap for their own HR function.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
