Yes a Small Business Can Go Paperless
Going paperless is something many small businesses would love to achieve but they are either complacent and happy where they are or believe technology is just too expensive meaning paper is still cheaper.
Today a small business can easily make the move to a paperless office using smart, easy to use and affordable HR Management solutions such as HRSimplified. HRSimplified can run an entire HR department without printing out a single sheet of paper and do so for much less that you will ever believe.
Paper Everywhere
Many small businesses fail to remember just how far paper goes in their business. Paper is used in so many employee documents that are held on file that more paper than they imagine is being used. Paper files are stored securely in an HR or Financial Managers office, they take up space and they are notoriously difficult to access – especially if the keyholder is not around which is when Murphy comes to work, and the files are needed. People spend hours simply filing and even in 2020 filing clerks or their equivalent are still employed when with a system such as HRSimplified they are not needed. HRSimplified create a true electronic employee file where no paper whatsoever is required and time spend filing can now be spent productively running the company.
