We can manage our entire life on the go today. However, while it comes to doing some of most critical and transactional work activities like logging time, submitting or approving a leave application or completing performance evaluations, most of us are constrained to resort to laptops/desktops. For a long time, I have wondered why ERP firms have chosen to ignore this obvious need. An article in HRO today, however, talks about a few firms like SAP/Oracle and WorkDay that are taking steps in that direction.
Much literature exists and many thinking gurus have long spoken/written about the need and ways to eliminate/simplify transactional activities. Self-Service, Shared Services, Automation, Outsourcing etc. have been used to address this need.
The ultimate nirvana for simplification and accessibility will be the day when we have an 'App for all HR needs'. I can hear some shopfloor workers without access to computers cheering in anticipation as well!
