KUALA LUMPUR: Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) has launched digital workforce management solution app, altHR, to help Malaysian companies digitalise HR processes and drive employee empowerment and engagement.
Digi said built with features fit for the new normal such as digital sales kits, contactless time tracking, paperless leave and expense management, altHR aims to address the problem of digitalisation of company processes that is prevalent in small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The launch of altHR is also in line with Digi's aim to help more Malaysian companies go digital and cope better with the unforeseen challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With altHR's workforce management tools, employees are able to easily apply for leave, make and approve claims, submit travel requests, access important documents such as payslips and handbooks, get updates on company's latest news and announcements and so on.
Beyond that, with an emphasis on better, digital employee experiences, companies are also able to use altHR to digitally onboard new hires, manage internal HR enquiries and provide employees a platform to engage essential services such as paying utility bills and purchasing vouchers.
All of this can be done easily on the phone and without any IT investments.
Digi said with the HR processes digitised on a dashboard, employers can track workflows efficiently and analyse data quickly and with ease.
Digi chief digital officer Praveen Rajan said digitalisation is an essential part of running a business, especially in times like these, when many SMEs have been forced to accelerate their digital adoption for recovery and growth.
"As part of our own digital transformation, we needed a solution to enhance our employee experience and improve our HR operations, but after an endless search for the 'perfect' HR solution, we decided to build our own, and it has totally transformed the way we manage our HR processes.
"It turned out to be so effective that we continued improving it with the aim of creating more than just a digital HR solution, but an app that also empowers all other aspects of a business," he said.
