With powerful integrations and AI-driven processes, HR teams can efficiently manage everything from onboarding to offboarding, maintain data security, and focus on high-value tasks. Provide your employees with a consistent, consumer-grade experience—no matter where they are. Discover how to upgrade your HR team into a high-velocity service hub.

 

Instead of intro: 5 tips to better HR service management

Managing a distributed workforce presents unique challenges for HR teams. From onboarding new hires across different time zones to ensuring consistent communication and support, maintaining a positive employee experience requires efficient and streamlined processes.

Atlassian is a remote company and the HR team uses its own product, Jira Service Management, to:

Simplify access to services: provide a single point of access for employees to submit requests, find information, and get help.

Automate workflows: streamline HR processes with automated workflows and reduce manual tasks.

Maintain security for HR cases: ensure a safe space to document and track the events related to HR cases.

Keep HR focused on high-value tasks: enable self-service through knowledge bases and virtual service agents.

Track service demand: use data to see the number of HR requests, how many employees have successfully been onboarded, and team workloads.

These five steps show how HR teams can create more streamlined, efficient processes, and they’re even more powerful when supported by the right technology. That’s where Jira Service Management comes in, offering an end-to-end solution to elevate your HR service experience (HRSM).
