Human Resources

Industry solution

 

Digital transformation affects all areas of companies - even HR departments are not unaffected.

Digitalizing their processes offers an excellent opportunity to keep the user experience up to date, increase efficiency, and thus contribute even more to the business's success.

HR requires a high administrative effort without directly paying to challenging business goals. Therefore, Process automation is an essential keyword for sectors/areas that need to increase their efficiency not to be perceived as cost drivers. Consistent digitalization and extensive automation of processes relieve employees of routine tasks and free them up for strategic activities.

On the other hand, there is a need to provide the most pleasant experience possible for applicants in competitive labor markets. The time factor should be addressed here, too: In the so-called war of talent, there is always the risk that an applicant will still change their mind if it takes too long to conclude a contract with a handwritten signature.

Swisscom Trust Services supports HR with innovative signature solutions - these end-to-end digital solutions enable new employees' fast, intuitive, and legally compliant onboarding.
