How do we understand HR Automation?
HR automation is increasing the efficiency of the overall department, and also freeing the employee from the tedious manual tasks. When an employee has free time, then they will get involved in complex works like decision making and strategy making.

Digital tracking can also be done like installation of the biometric device and consolidating data for the payroll.
