Discover How Cloud-Based HR Document Management Can Save Time, Ensure Compliance, and Streamline Workflows Across Industries with DynaFile.
The Growing Need for Digital Document Management
HR teams today face growing demands for efficiency, security, and compliance. Traditional paper-based systems or unorganized digital workflows just can’t keep up with the fast-changing business landscape, especially with ever-evolving compliance requirements and regulations.
A study by The Harris Poll found that employees spend an average of 2 hours per day searching for documents, equating to 25% of a standard 40-hour work week. Similarly, a report by Xerox revealed that 46% of workers at small to midsize businesses waste time on inefficient paper processes each day.
Cloud-based HR document management solutions like DynaFile provide the tools to digitize and automate workflows, ensuring audit readiness, streamlining onboarding, and securely managing sensitive employee data.
