To be truly effective, your HR solution should tell you when something deserves attention. Traditionally reports are used for this and whilst they are effective for some areas of HR management, ultimately they do rely on user interaction, which means you still need to ask the right questions and know where to start looking. This can be extremely time-consuming, especially if reports are over-used for simple and routine HR processes. Therefore Snowdrop has developed its own, highly configurable information routing tool, Snowdrop Workflow that intelligently delivers the right information to the right people. A typical 500 employee company might have up to 50 new starters per year. Using reports, it would take an HR person approximately 1/2 an hour each week to run a report that shows all employees with a forthcoming probation end date and warn the relevant line manager. By using Snowdrop Workflow you can eliminate this administration altogether, as it searches the database for you, identifying forthcoming probation dates and automatically e-mailing the line manager. When you start to scratch the surface of Snowdrop Workflow the possibilities are endless; from warnings about an employee's birthday to alerts that a department or individual has an unusually high absence or pattern of absence.
