Sierra-Cedar has been tracking HR systems adoption for 21 years. Their 2018-19 white paper says 78% of workplaces now use employee self service. Digital HR self-service portals save human resources departments substantial time and money, but how do they serve the 80% of the global workforce who are deskless?
The vast majority of food processing workers don’t have a dedicated computer workstation. Deskless employees struggle to feel engaged with their company and often complain about a lack of information from management. HR Kiosks can help bridge the gap between your digital HR platform and your deskless employees.
What Can HR Kiosks Do?
An HR kiosk has all the functionality of your online HR portal and more. The HR Documentation Kiosk’s full-size printer and scanner enable employees to print, complete, scan and submit forms. It’s an all-in-one HR satellite office.
HR kiosks can be used for:
- Payroll Management: view and print pay stubs, manage direct deposit & tax withholdings
- Employee Profile Updates: mailing address, emergency contacts, licenses & certifications
- Benefits Management: enroll in health and retirement plans, track FSA/HSA claims
- Labor Tracking: clock in and out, make scheduling and PTO requests
- Internal Communication: post policies, announcements, newsletters & directories
- Employee Feedback: solicit comments/suggestions, administer surveys

How Much Money Can HR Kiosks Save?
Depending on your company’s size and current process, you can realize 5 or 6-digit savings just by automating the pay stub process. Imagine no longer having to print, stuff and mail pay stubs.
Printing and distribution are substantial HR expenses, especially during open enrollment periods. Sierra-Cedar reports 80% savings when companies transition from manual to self-service benefit enrollment.
Expanding the efficiencies of Digital HR to your deskless workforce frees up your HR staff to focus on tasks that add more value to your company. Using HR kiosks to improve communication and engagement can also boost employee retention. Both result in direct and indirect cost savings.
