Identify your current HR costs.
Begin by gathering data that reflects your current situation.

Forms: Calculate the hours your HR staff spends to capture, process, and track the forms needed to support your employees.

Errors: Calculate the current error rate and the associated costs to correct erroneous data or duplicate misfiled information.
-
Penalties: If you've incurred penalties for compliance violations, include these costs.
-
Storage: Calculate the cost-per-square-foot for filing cabinets and other storage solutions. Include off-site storage costs.
-
Searching: Determine the costs associated with paper document retrieval.
