Human resource management (HRM) is a crucial business function for global organizations. HRM’s primary tasks include recruiting, onboarding and offboarding employees, training and development, payroll, tracking vacation and sick days, and employees’ general well-being. Managing these processes manually is time-consuming and complex, which is why leading global enterprises turn to automated systems to streamline their HR operations.

According to a survey by Gartner, HR leaders agree that they need to invest in technologies that cultivate positive work culture and transform HR operations to be more automated and digital for a better employee experience.

HRM involves dealing with people across departments and ensuring that an organization has an optimal blend of skills to achieve its business objectives. The HR team must also create a supportive work environment to retain the talent it hires with robust efforts. Although HR teams have access to various cloud-based project management setups to perform their routine tasks, tool multiplicity in the existing HR tech stack makes data entry more complex and time-consuming. The siloed systems used for specific HRM processes result in delays, conflicting information, and poor user experience.

CriticalRiver has designed an automated solution for HRM to streamline essential HR tasks, keep track of employee development, enhance employee performance and elevate the employee experience. We call it HR Accelerator.

Our solution blends advanced digital technologies to automate all HR personnel’s routine processes, including recruitment, HR ERP, timesheets, and payroll systems. The solution has been designed by combining the strengths of technologies, including BambooHR, Harvest, MS Azure, Talenox, Zoho People, and Oracle ERP Cloud.

HR Accelerator is easy to configure and customize to meet an organization’s specific needs and scalable enough to keep pace with the growing workforce. What’s more, it is underpinned by the support of professionals experienced in the nuances of HR systems.

Critical River’s HR Accelerator has specific modules for:

Recruitment

It leverages BambooHR to review a candidate’s CV, cover letters, and responses to application questions to assess credentials and experience. It also enables timely and consistent communication, including auto-populated email templates to keep candidates informed about shortlisting and interview status.

Onboarding

The onboarding process begins once HR confirms a candidate as an employee. It includes automated provisioning of employee details across access systems such as Azure and AD/Okta. User accounts are automatically created in HRMS, ERP, payroll, and timesheet systems.

Data Synchronization

Whenever an employee profile is updated in the HRM system—such as salary revisions or role changes—the HR Accelerator synchronizes the data across all connected systems. It identifies the relevant records and ensures updates are automatically reflected, maintaining a single, centralized source of employee truth.

Notifications

Handling multiple workforce data sets across departments, HR Accelerator includes real-time notifications. Relevant stakeholders—such as compensation, benefits, training, and compliance teams—are instantly informed about any employee profile changes.

Offboarding

When an employee resigns, retires, or is terminated, HR updates the last working day and status in the HRM system. This automatically triggers all related offboarding processes and keeps the employee’s manager and relevant teams informed through real-time application status notifications.

On the employee’s last working day, all the synced accounts containing details on payroll and HR ERP in Active Directory/Okta and Timesheets are automatically deactivated. The action ensures the stoppage of monthly salary payments. It also helps to calculate the full and final amount to be paid to the candidate on a specific day after the exit interview.

Automating workflows with HR Accelerator helps prevent manual errors and reduces the turnaround time that goes into complex HRM processes. For companies that employ full-time, part-time, work-from-home/office, consultant, and freelance workers, it improves transparency and consistency in people management.

By automating HR tasks from recruitment and onboarding to data synchronization and offboarding, HR leaders also track data generated by HR functions more effectively. They can use such information to evaluate employee experience and build a more productive work culture.

At CriticalRiver, we help our clients enhance their digital maturity and position themselves to reap the measurable benefits that automation can bring. Employees trained to use advanced technologies in their daily workflows also expect their HR department to keep up and build work environments where people feel valued. And that is where our HR Accelerator helps.

If you plan to modernize your HR capabilities, promoting innovation, collaboration, and productivity like other business units, build a new operating model with HR Accelerator.
