Digitalising HR with altHR

IN this fiercely competitive market, organisations are implementing digital technologies in order to improve their business relevancy, increase productivity and efficiency, while boosting profit margins.

Digitalisation has taken the business world by storm due to its capacity to substantially transform organisational functions by improving their internal processes.

This includes HR. Digitalising HR is not just about transforming HR technologically.

It is about aligning functional goals with business goals and partnering with other stakeholders to determine how best to do so.

This has become increasingly important during this endemic phase where the focus is to ensure that business operations are in tandem with the ‘new normal’ such as remote working, new business models and even the way new employees are recruited.

As such, one of the main benefits of HR digitalisation is the reduction of labour-intensive tasks and internal process inefficiencies such as leave applications, expense and claims submissions, rostering, and time-tracking.

Having embarked on its own digital transformation through the past few years, Digi understands the importance of transforming businesses not just with the right tools, but also by guiding the change of employee mindsets to reap the full benefits of digitalisation in the long run.

As part of this digitalisation journey, Digi developed and implemented a digital HR solution, the altHR to enhance the employee experience and streamline HR operations.

As the nation's workforce moved from pandemic-enforced lockdowns back to the office, altHR played a crucial role in facilitating the seamless transition from work-from-home to hybrid work arrangements for close to 1,500 of Digi’s employees — known as Digizens — with minimal disruption, while maintaining their safety and well-being.

This was enabled by key features such as daily updates on location and health status of individual employees with the Check-Ins module, easy coordination of multiple schedules for different teams in Digi to come back to work safely with the Rostering module and booking and max occupancy monitoring of meeting rooms and other communal areas with the Spaces module.

Today, altHR, Digi’s HR super app, is one of the key business solutions offered by Digi Business to help Malaysian companies recover and grow their businesses as effectively as possible.

As many organisations are expected to undergo digital transformation in the coming years, altHR is constantly innovating and improving its offerings to better serve their current and future customers.

Digi remains convinced that more will see the efficiency of digitalising the HR process, not only in centralising payroll and taxes, leaves, onboarding and documentation, but also in more interpersonal aspects like performance management and hiring.

By doing so, the app supports HR professionals and employers by digitalising HR processes and improving business efficiencies, empowering them to manage, grow and take care of every company’s biggest asset: Its people.
