Mobile technology grows every day. According to a survey by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Brazil currently has more than one smartphone per inhabitant. There are 242 million devices in use in the country, and just over 214 million inhabitants. With this data, cell phones have become the main means of communication between HR and employees.
With the ubiquity of smartphones and the use of increasingly technological software, the sector saw the ideal opportunity to implement new strategies that could optimize the work of HR managers and the communication sector in a single resource. Check out some benefits of using mobile devices in companies:
Employees are familiar with smartphones
The vast majority of individuals in the workforce carry a smartphone for personal and business use. With so many people already familiar with technology, the strategy is perfect for companies that want to invest in resources and innovations to optimize the work of the HR sector. With the increase in the number of companies adopting home office and hybrid work, the implementation of mobile device software has grown even more.
Employees' knowledge of technology ensures assertiveness in the adoption of HR software and systems that aim to improve internal communication.
Productivity is improved
According to a study carried out by the National Industrial Learning Service (SENAI), new digital technologies increase the productivity of connected employees by around 22%. Technology can provide fast, effective and accessible communication, ensuring that employees feel supported by the company, generating more confidence at work.
Time optimization
Managers who deal with an excess of manual work that demands time and concentration benefit from time optimization, therefore, the introduction of new mobile technologies can be beneficial for process automation. This can be a big step towards freeing managers from more strategic activities that will ensure the success of the organization.
Integration of new employees
New technologies speed up the recruitment and selection process. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, HR software can capture the best profiles and those that best match the advertised vacancies, ensuring greater assertiveness and agility in the recruitment process. Furthermore, scheduling interviews, sending documents and even onboarding can be done using mobile devices that have specific HR technologies.
New employees can use smartphones to complete training, obtain instructions and receive forms that need to be filled out. With these technologies synchronized on smartphones throughout the corporation, your HR department will be able to act more assertively, as well as automate tasks, integrate new employees more quickly and reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks.
Mobile devices are already dominating the HR landscape. The workforce began to access applications through mobile devices, and as a result, organizations began to consider HR applications as essential for improving people management tasks. Whether they are just aimed at carrying out simple queries such as payment statements, or for electronic time recording with facial recognition and geolocation features, HR software is already in most institutions – and the tendency is for this technology to advance more and more. . The future of companies is connected HR.
