In today's ever-changing digital world, the Human Resources (HR) function has become increasingly vital to the success of organizations. HR departments are responsible for curating the employment brand, ensuring compliance, and supporting the overall business strategy with people. As such, the ability to gather and analyze data on HR processes is critical to achieving optimal performance.

This is where process intelligence (aka: process mining) comes into play. Process intelligence refers to the ability to capture, analyze, and understand the data generated by a particular process. This data can provide valuable insights into how the process is functioning, identify bottlenecks, and suggest improvements. In the context of HR, process intelligence can be used to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of HR processes and improve overall business outcomes.

Here are some ways HR could benefit from process intelligence:

  • Streamlining recruitment processes


Recruiting is one of the most critical functions of HR, and the recruitment process can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. With process intelligence, HR can analyze every stage of the recruitment process - from initiating a job requisitions to onboarding the new-hires - identifying potential areas of improvement. This helps HR to streamline the process, improve the candidate experience, reduce recruitment costs, and improve the time-to-hire.

  • Increasing HR process and solution adoption


Many HR organizations want to move away from completing administrative tasks to becoming a value-adding function and introduce self-service capabilities for business users (employees and managers) so they can manage their own data and trigger HR processes. Process intelligence can support to provide insight to what extent these processes are adopted in the organization and what are the root causes for problems in the workflow.

  • Improving employee engagement


Process intelligence can help HR teams understand how employees interact with HR processes, such as performance management and feedback mechanisms. This data can provide insights into employee engagement and help HR tailor processes to improve employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity.

  • Enhancing compliance


HR is responsible for ensuring that the organization complies with employment laws and regulations, as well as internal guidelines. Process intelligence can help HR track compliance-related data, such as training and certification records, and identify areas of non-compliance. For example, it can quickly identify cases where the recruiting process fails to meet minimum screening requirements prior to extending an offer. This information can help HR proactively address compliance issues and avoid costly (legal) consequences.

These examples illustrate just a few of the ways in which process intelligence can create value based on data in your HR system - but to unlock this value, you'll need a tool.
