How would you like a tailor-made scanning service specially designed for the HR sector? Pearl Scan can help, but let's start from the beginning.

What is HR Document Scanning?

We know that offices in Human Resources departments generate a lot of paper and most of that paper is required to be stored for future reference. Documents such as contracts, employee details, P45's and medical records can take up a significant amount of space in offices. It can also be costly to store so Pearl Scan offer a solution which means you can keep those important documents but they will no longer take up all that space. Scanning HR documents and keeping them in digital format rather than the hard copy alternative is a solution that many HR departments have found perfect for their needs.

What happens when the documents are scanned?

Once we have scanned your HR documents, they will be indexed and placed onto our online document management software, Halogen. This software was specially designed for HR Departments giving you security but easy access to your documents. Through Halogen, your documents can be accessed by anyone you have given permission to.

How can my office benefit from having documents scanned?

There is a seemingly endless list of advantages to scanning HR documents and implementing a digital document management system. You can save costs, space and time while also improving your green credentials with a paper light office. Documents will be more organised and could be accessed more efficiently through simple searches of content, title or date.

When it comes to document storage this is the biggest rivalry...Digital vs Hardcopy!

It's a question we hear a lot; how should I store my documents? Nowadays, there are many different methods of storing documents that sometimes it's hard to decide which one is best for your office or organisation.

Hardcopy

In times gone by, having a hard copy of a document filed away for when you needed information from it, needed to photocopy it or needed to make amendments to it was the standard solution. There wasn't really any other way to do it. However, a hard copy document is susceptible to loss, damage and theft. It could also take a lot of time to find the document you need which would result in lower workplace efficiency.

Despite these downsides, a hard copy document was still editable, to an extent. If changes needed to be made, handwritten amendments could be done to the document. This may not have been particularly neat but it did the job. Alternatively, amendments could be made to the document if it was originally made on Microsoft Word (or something similar) and the document would be printed out again to be stored in the filing cabinet.

While hard copy document storage has often been seen as the preferred way, and it does have its advantages, the world of document storage is changing.

Digital

All aspects of our world are continuing to go digital and that goes for documents too. As a society we are sending more and more emails and spending increasing amounts of time using electronic devices. Yet, some organisations continue to store their documents in hard copy in filing cabinets, boxes and folders despite conducting a lot of business online. But what is the solution to this? Coincidently, here at Pearl Scan, we have an effective solution.

What's so good about going digital? Let's take a look at the advantages of embracing the digital revolution.

We are told over and over again that we are living in a digital age but there are still some things that haven't moved completely in this technological era. Document storage is one of those areas. So let's take a rundown of a few reasons why going digital could be one of the best things you could do for your company.

It's Quicker

When you hold files in hard copy form and store them in their hundreds in filing cabinets, folders and boxes, it can become quite a task to recover the document you need at all, let alone quickly. With digitised files, you can access the document you need through a simple search by file name, date, content etc. once they have been fully indexed and OCR processed.

With digitised documents, you can also share documents and files quicker without the need to print and send it via old fashioned post. A quick email or giving a colleague access to the file online is all you need to do. It's as simple as that.

It's Cheaper

Digital document management also brings with it the benefits of significantly reducing outgoing costs for your company. Now the files are fully digitised, there will be little to no need for printing which reduces paper and ink costs. You may think that having documents scanned in the first place will eliminate these savings but here at Pearl Scan, we offer document scanning from as little as a penny per sheet for large quantities and very little more for smaller projects. You will also save on document storage costs should you choose to dispose of the documents help in hard copy form.

It's Safer

Confidential information is often held on the documents we store and, if they ended up in the wrong hands, there could be serious consequences. When these documents are digitised, their contents can be protected from this kind of danger by encryption and passwords protection. Your documents will also be protected from the kind of damage sustained by hard copy papers such as rips, tears, stains and creases to future-proof the information on them.

It's Greener

These days, offices are increasingly looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly. There are many accreditations to identify companies that are actively taking measures to reduce their carbon footprints. ISO 14 001 is one particular accreditation Pearl Scan holds, showing our commitment to environmental issues. With document scanning from document scanning services, you can begin to make your office paperless, or at least 'paper light' to reduce your company's carbon footprint. Once you have taken the first step you may want to implement more schemes to make the office greener.

You Could Improve Your Company's Reputation

Not only can your company gain accreditations for being more environmentally friendly but you could even redesign your whole office once you've ditched the paper and gone digital. With a fresh new look, you could improve the reputation of your company. Potential clients will see your company as a forward moving and highly aware of what it takes to improve the business for both company and client. This can only be a positive thing because no one goes into a company asking for the slowest, most expensive service, do they?

So as you can see, going digital can bring many advantages for you and your company.
