“Some of the automated processes include: notifying employees with expired documents and documents about to expire so employees can update them, notifying employees and their managers of any attendance issues, generating a list of the employees who have backdated financial transactions, generating periodic reports and sending them to concerned staff automatically, to name a few,” she said.
