7 Ways ServiceNow HRSD Goes Beyond ITSM and Revolutionizes HR Operations

From delivering employee centric experiences to leveraging real time analytics and insights, here’s how ServiceNow HRSD can drive the change.

1. Employee Centric Experience

Fundamentally, HRSD adopts the employee first approach. This is evident from its single portal, where employees can find answers to their HR related questions, submit requests and track query progress. A unified portal eliminates the need to navigate different systems and offers a uniform, intuitive experience to employees.

2. Automated Onboarding and Offboarding

Onboarding an employee is usually a time consuming process, involving a labyrinth of tasks across various departments. ServiceNow HRSD automates these intricate cross departmental workflows, ensuring a seamless and efficient transition for new employees. On the other hand, it also streamlines the offboarding process, ensuring all the necessary tasks are completed smoothly. While enhancing the employee experience, it curtails manual effort and errors that may take place during the process.

3. Smart Self Service

The way ITSM deflects common issues, HRSD also helps employees find answers to their questions with the help of a comprehensive knowledge base and AI-powered virtual assistants. Employees can seek help from these agents or assistants who guide them to relevant information and even initiate workflows. While delighting employees, it frees up HR staff to focus on the more strategic initiatives. Therefore, ServiceNow HR Service Delivery isn’t just a platform but an empowerment.

4. Complex Case Management

Case management is another important offering. It enables HR to efficiently manage and resolve more complex concerns relating to performance, sensitive grievances, policy exceptions, deviations, non-compliance, etc. The system routes cases to the right HR specialist, ensuring effective solutions and timely resolution.

5. Effective Departmental Collaboration

As mentioned earlier, Employee Workflows enables employees to collaborate more productively. It helps ensure that multi departmental processes like promotion, departmental transfer, etc., are executed blissfully with clear accountability and automated hand-offs.

6. Analytics and Continuous Improvement

HRSD provides HR leaders with detailed insight into the efficiency of the HR vertical. It offers comprehensive information about backlog, bottlenecks, satisfaction, etc. Additionally, the platform supports process mining to analyze processes relevant to specific KPIs and identify bottlenecks in HR service cases and Lifecycle Events cases.

7. Better Employee Experiences

HR fundamentally works for employees. Hence, for an HR, employee satisfaction and experience should be paramount. ServiceNow HRSD amplifies employee experiences by making HR services easily accessible, transparent, and efficient. Employees, therefore, feel more valued, heard and supported. Such employees are more likely to remain engaged with the business’s values, deliver their best and contribute meaningfully toward the company’s success.
