DocuWare for Human Resources

More efficient processes mean improved HR results

Resumes, contracts, transfers, recommendations, salaries, expense reports, vacation requests – that’s just the tip of the paperwork iceberg managed by a Human Resources department. And all of these critical documents must be edited, stored and retrieved in a way that is quick, reliable and absolutely confidential.


When the pressure is on to improvecosts and staff, even the Human Resources (HR) efficiencies department comes under scrutiny. This means a growing number of tasks have to be handled by fewer employees. In addition, meeting the latest legal requirements is an enormously critical aspect that also adds to a department’s work and document pile. A way to succeed in this environment is to handle routine tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. The key is a Integrated Document Management System (IDMS) and electronic personnel files.

  • Inner-Office Communication
    Questions from employees, management, and colleagues from Accounting can be immediately answered thanks to DocuWare. The time previously needed to research and return calls is eliminated.
  • Increased Productivity
    From recruiting to mentoring, promotions to salary calculations – all of the processes handled by HR become more efficient. Employees feel better supported and management is aided daily by the DMS to make better-informed decisions. Improved job satisfaction is the natural result.
  • Discrete and Tamper-Free
    The sensitive content of documents and the requirements of privacy laws mean that paper documents, computer files, and e-mail must be handled with great care. The growing number of electronic documents and the variety of available media make it even more challenging to keep up with today’s requirements. Being able to securely set up access rights, tamperfree electronic filing, and integration within HR’s existing IT system, all make a DMS system virtually irreplaceable. Properly configured, even the system administrator can’t access sensitive HR documents.
