In reply to jdgalt. While you certainly have a point, that isn't a problem with automation, it's a problem with bad management. Automation is a symptom, not a cause.

In most companies where I’ve worked, both management (at least the real decision-making levels) and HR are so seldom seen, and never heard from except when they pronounced edicts, that it’s hard to think of them as human. They’re like gods, or robots, or at least some secretive cabal whose decisions can never be explained or predicted except by total cynics.

Automating HR will only worsen that feeling. It will feel like having a McDonald’s kiosk as your manager.

Using A1 in things like shown in the article is eliminating the need for human interaction in these circumstances. But it only works for those areas not needing a physical human to perform those tasks.

I don’t know whether it’s within this topic or not, but at the Postal Service, we have an automated call-in system, whereby employees needing to take unscheduled leave due to their inability to timely report to work can call a Nation-wide toll-free number, enter information identifying themselves, their workplace, the type of leave they are requesting — and for how long — whether or not it is FMLA-protected, etc. The system issues the employee a Confirmation Number, in case there’s a later question about whether the employee called in, and when, etc. The system then notifies the employee’s work location, prepares the written leave request form, etc. This system eliminates the potential problem of being unable to reach ones supervisor by phone and many possible factual disputes about whether or not an employee called in, when, to whom, the type of leave requested, etc.
