Learn how to turn workforce data into workflows. This blueprint helps HR teams automate key touchpoints using internal signals - not manual tasks.
Why Static HR Data Fails in Dynamic Environments
Â
Much like sensor networks, modern HR environments require real-time, reactive systems. A spreadsheet report from last month won’t prevent churn, risk, or compliance failure.
Â
This blueprint shows how to redesign your HR tech infrastructure to behave like a responsive network — detecting, triggering, and resolving before issues surface.
What It Solves
Hidden risks caused by lagging HR insights
Missed onboarding/offboarding actions
Delayed compliance response or policy signoff
Inability to trigger workflows based on real events
The 3-Phase Blueprint
Â
Phase 1: Signal Mapping & Audit
Identify key lifecycle stages that generate risk or action
Map out where data currently sits and who sees it
Classify signals as passive (report only) or active (workflow-triggered)
Â
Phase 2: Workflow Triggers
Use Employment Hero to tie signals to workflows: provisioning, training, comms
Auto-alert stakeholders based on rules (e.g. no logins in 14 days = disengaged)
Embed signals into dashboards, not buried in exports
Â
Phase 3: Resolution + Oversight Layer
Track task completion across HR, IT, Finance
Surface unresolved signals to dashboards
Iterate based on signal effectiveness (false positives, missed triggers)
