How Astana Hub optimized HR-processes using Documentolog

HR Processes in a Growing Company

As the number of employees grows, the workload on HR departments grows accordingly. The number of requests, approvals, and internal documents increases, while manual processing of HR operations begins to slow down internal workflows.

In this context, it becomes essential for organizations to establish a transparent and well-managed HR document workflow. Digitalizing HR processes not only reduces document processing time but also reduces the operational burden on HR teams.

This was the challenge faced by Astana Hub, an international hub for IT startups. As the organization grew, it became necessary to optimize internal HR processes and provide a more efficient and user-friendly way for employees to interact with the HR department.

Key Challenges Faced by the HR Team

Before implementing digital tools, many HR processes were handled manually. This required significant time and made it difficult to track document statuses.

The key objectives included:

• accelerating the processing of leave and business trip requests

• reducing approval turnaround times

• minimizing manual operations

• increasing transparency of HR processes

Manual document handling consumed a substantial portion of HR specialists’ working time, limiting their ability to focus on higher-value initiatives.

Transition to Digital HR Document Management

To optimize internal processes, Astana Hub implemented the Documentolog Platform. This solution enabled the transition to a fully digital HR document workflow and automated a range of HR tasks.

The platform provided centralized management of HR documents and streamlined the submission and approval process. Employees gained the ability to submit required documents directly within the system, eliminating the need for paper-based workflows.

Changes in Employee Experience

Following implementation, employee interaction with the HR department became more efficient, faster, and more transparent.

Specifically:

• leave requests can now be completed in approximately 10 minutes

• employees can track the status of their requests in real time

• approvals are handled digitally

• paper-based applications have been fully eliminated

Results for the HR Department

Automation of HR document management significantly reduced the operational workload of the HR team.

Key outcomes include:

• reduced processing time for HR requests

• decreased volume of paper documentation

• automated approvals and internal workflows

• reduced risk of errors in document handling

As a result, HR specialists are now able to focus more on strategic priorities and the development of internal initiatives.

The experience of Astana Hub demonstrates that automating HR processes is a critical component of modern organizational growth.
