Increase organizational agility
Human Resources streamlines routine human resources (HR) tasks and automates processes that are related to managing employees within your organization. It enables you to manage your personnel, compensation, benefits, leave and absence tracking, and competencies and development. Human Resources also gives you a framework for your HR professionals to drive consistency and efficiency and to optimize processes.
Human Resources allows you to manage HR in a rich, browser-based user experience with workspaces that are tailored to specific roles within Finance and operations apps.
To begin using the Human Resources capabilities in Dynamics 365 Finance and operations apps, you must have the following components configured:
Legal entity setup and configuration.
- You must have at least one legal entity configured to use HR functionality. If you have multiple legal entities, you can configure parameters to be shared across companies, such as position records or number sequences.
Create an organizational hierarchy.
- The organizational hierarchy is used to represent the relationships between the organizations that make up your business. You can have multiple organizational hierarchies that are used for things like financial reporting and human resources.
Set up a global address book.
- The global address book is a central repository for your master data, like your employees.
- The global address book stores human resource data such as name, address, and contact information for a party. It also helps to create relationships for this data within your organization. For instance, you might have employees setup as vendors in Dynamics 365 Finance and operations apps for accounts payable payments to employees.
Create automated processes, workflows, and tasks to improve consistency, compliance, and ease of use.
- There are several workflows that you can use within the Human resources to automate processes within your organization.
