5 ways Workday eSignature streamlines HR processes

Ralitsa Miteva,

Human resources (HR) teams are at the center of all activities that touch the candidate and employee experience. The number of documents that come out of HR is massive. Handling documents like NDAs, new hire forms, resumes, performance reviews, and corporate policy forms, among many others, can be overwhelming for any HR team especially when paper is involved.

Many HR leaders are adopting technology to help automate manual and repetitive administrative activities. Human capital management (HCM) providers like Workday facilitate HR teams around the world as they digitize activities like HCM, performance management, recruiting, employee vacation time tracking, and many other processes.

HR teams are taking digitization to the next level by offering eSignatures directly in Workday with OneSpan Sign for Workday, a key integration. eSignature is key in streamlining the way teams obtain signatures for HR documents stored in Workday. By enabling end-to-end digitization with electronic signatures, HR can spend less time managing paper documents and focus on value-added activities, such as attracting candidates, onboarding new hires faster, and improving the employee experience.

Leverage eSignature throughout the employee lifecycle

By adding OneSpan Sign to Workday processes, HR teams can leverage electronic signatures at every step of the employee lifecycle to improve productivity and reduce the cost and burden of paper. OneSpan Sign for Workday adds value to your HR processes in the following ways:

  • Elevates the employee and candidate experience: Create a trusted experience for employees and candidates by fully customizing the signing process. In addition, employees and candidates can conveniently eSign documents anytime, anywhere, and on any device. OneSpan Sign provides an intuitive signing experience that ensures high document completion rates for all your HR documents in Workday.
  • Automates the signing process: Automated processes can enforce signing workflow rules to eliminate common errors like missing documents, pages, or signatures. In addition, digital processes provide visibility into the signing process's status by recording a full audit trail of each signer’s actions to demonstrate compliance. Once signing is completed, eSigned documents and the audit trail are automatically stored in Workday to achieve a completely digital, straight-through process.
  • Reduces costs: By digitizing HR processes with eSignatures, HR departments can dramatically reduce paper, ink, and file storage costs.
  • Improves productivity: Electronic signature reduces processing times. This frees HR departments from spending hours manually processing paper documents and instead focuses their time on value-added activities.
  • Ensures security and compliance: Each signed document includes a detailed audit trail that captures electronic evidence of the key signer actions taken in the signing session, providing HR teams with a complete picture of the transaction to demonstrate compliance.
