It has been almost two years since the pandemic has struck the world and everyone has been forced to sit at their houses. While the world is recovering quickly from the damage the pandemic has done, it has also brought many new and improved things to the corporate world. Remote working being one of them! The simple answer to “Is remote working going to stick around even after the pandemic?” is Yes! Of Course it is here to stay as it is a step towards digitisation and it holds no major caveats as of now!
The two major factors that make “Work From Home” as special as it is, are listed below:
-
Allows employees to work at their convenience
This might seem counter intuitive but employees tend to deliver better quality and quantity of work while they are working from home. This is because the employees can now have a flexible schedule and more hours for rest as they do not have to travel to the office. Now having the “office environment” can be a bit dicey but organisations have not seen a fall in the level of productivity after adopting the digital mode of working, yet.
-
Cuts travelling and electricity costs
Now coming to the benefits that the digital mode brings to the table for the organisations, it helps you cut down your employee costs. As the employee does not have to come to the office everyday, their travelling allowance is saved. Since the office premises aren’t functional seven days a week, the electricity consumption is greatly reduced, cutting down the expenditure on electricity as well.
“Yeah Work from home sounds great and all but how do we manage employees when they don’t even come to the office? How does this digital mode affect us?” Well, the answer to all your queries is, Implementation of an HRMS! How? Continue reading to find out how!

Improved Recruitment Efficacy
Everyone knows how important recruitment is for an organisation. But there are many caveats relating to the traditional method. Be it resume parsing or document collection, the manual process was inefficient and tiresome. An HRMS will help you tackle all these limitations. Being automated, an HR Software is way quicker than manual efforts and accurate as well. You can read more about how an HRMS improves the recruitment process here.
-
Quicker Onboarding
Onboarding an employee has always been a task for the HR. Collection of documents, arrangements for training, conducting training, tracking the progress of the joinee. All these processes become hectic as there are a number of joinees and only limited resources. All these factors make the onboarding process obtuse. Implementation of HRMS automates all these processes and your human resource can focus on managing the workforce more efficiently. That’s a win-win!
-
Workflow Setup
While comparing the digital mode of working to the traditional way, people often put forth the point of hierarchy. “Work from home misses the personal touch” is what they say. Spine HR Suite allows you to create various levels of control and approval. This ensures the hierarchy that makes the traditional method great and adds to the greatness by being digital!

-
Improved Communication
Another debatable factor about the remote working is that it does not allow employees to communicate directly and freely. Well that is debatable for sure because as far as communication is concerned, it is subjective and varies from employee to employee. What an HRMS does is that it lets the employees know the whole workflow and approver levels so that they can contact the concerned person directly. This ensures that there are no gaps in communication, prevents miscommunication and saves time in the process.

Better Employee Management
Now coming to the primary function of an HR Software. One might guess that the primary function of an HRMS is simply making the job of an HR less tedious. But that’s just scratching the surface. Implementation of an HRM System liberates the HR from tasks like register maintenance, payroll calculation and creation of excel sheets and reports and enables them to focus more on productivity of the employees and how it can be raised. You can learn more about how HRMS helps in managing the employees better here.
