With the employee experience becoming more important than ever and the continued desire of workers to function autonomously through technology, it pays to make your processes as simple as possible. If your employees can’t — or, worse, won’t — use your HR tech because it’s not sufficiently user-friendly, you’ll never see the autonomy your employees need to thrive.

The same is true for managers. At some point, every manager wishes he or she could be in two (or more) places at once. Usually, one of those places is a desk, where paperwork — or at least its electronic equivalent — seems to accumulate at a steady, unrelenting rate. Giving your managers the ability to quickly knock out those tasks frees them up to help foster autonomy and your company’s culture with their teams.

What could your employee experience and bottom line gain by pursuing simplicity in your HR technology and autonomy in your workforce?

In this episode of HR Break Room®, host Caleb Masters is rejoined by Boese to discuss:

• how creating an autonomous workforce benefits both the employee experience and the bottom line
• the key drivers that are influencing the emphasis on the employee experience in today’s workplace
• the role managers play in creating a culture of autonomy by driving the employee usage of HR technology
• Boese’s impressions of Manager on-the-Go™, Paycom’s tool recently named a top 2020 HR product by Human Resource Executive magazine
