Leverage Deel EOR to complete HR admin

Middle managers spend nearly a day each week on administrative tasks. HR and people operations, in particular, handle demanding admin work like recruiting, onboarding, benefits administration, and contractor management.

Juggling these responsibilities across multiple systems can result in data discrepancies and increased workload. These tasks are also time-consuming and divert focus from strategic HR activities.
This is where Deel’s workflow builder steps in.

The workflow builder enables the creation of custom workflows that automate repetitive HR tasks. This includes:

  • Hiring workflows, including background checks
  • Onboarding workflows, such as customized onboarding emails, mandatory training, providing access to software, and issuing equipment
  • Offboarding workflows, including automatic calculation of final payments
  • Country-specific employment contract generation workflows
  • Global payroll automation
  • Expense management and payouts

Deel’s workflow builder lets you customize as many workflows as you need for different locations and worker classifications. It caters to the needs of international teams.

However, creating and merging reports from multiple sources like HRIS and payroll systems can be complex and time-consuming. This complexity increases when HR holds information that is hard to access, requiring manual report handovers.
