Digital Signatures for Human Resource Uses

Overview

It is not unusual for Human Resource (HR) specialists to find themselves buried under tons of paperwork requiring signatures. These professionals know that today's process for reviewing, approving, and archiving HR documentation consumes a tremendous amount of time and money. As a result, electronic documents are increasingly used in various phases of the workflow throughout the industry. But all too often when a signature is needed on a document, a hard copy original is printed, the document is physically routed for signatures, and then the document must be scanned and entered into a document management system. Applying a handwritten signature to these files interrupts fluid electronic processes, extending record processing time and increasing costs.
