Robotic Process Automation or RPA is a technology that allows the automation of processes in different business areas, which helps employees to focus on activities that generate real value for the company. 

According to estimates, almost half of the world's labor activities may be automated in the coming years, so we will continue to see their growing application in different market sectors.

In this sense, today this technology has become a great ally for companies. In particular, automation in Human Resources is a tool that allows this area to gain agility and flexibility by automatically performing processes that are routine and take time away from employees, so that they can spend it on other more strategic tasks. For example, the creation of new accounts for the employee or the registration in the database, payroll processing or its use to reduce the number of documents that are processed manually and manage them digitally. 

Next, José Campos, Project and Automation Manager at Anida Latam, presents some use cases we can find in this sector that show how this technology allows the HR area to automate repetitive manual work and free up time for more challenging tasks:
