Did you know that HR professionals are going gaga over electronic signature technology? It’s true! Since early 2020, their usage has skyrocketed by a mind-blowing 2530%!

Now, you might be wondering, what’s the big deal with electronic signatures? Well, let me break it down for you. Electronic signatures are a fancy way of saying you can sign important documents without needing pen and paper. Yep, you heard that right! No more messy ink smudges or searching for a working pen. With electronic signatures, it’s all about convenience and efficiency.

So why the sudden surge in usage? Well, there are plenty of reasons. For starters, electronic signatures save a ton of time. Think about it – instead of waiting for the mailman to deliver your documents or scheduling in-person meetings, you can simply sign them online, from the comfort of your own home. It’s like magic!

Not only that, but electronic signatures are also super secure. They use cutting-edge encryption technology to ensure that your signature is safe and cannot be tampered with. So you can rest easy knowing that your important documents are in good hands.

Another reason why HR professionals are all aboard the electronic signature train is because it’s environmentally friendly. By going paperless, we’re helping to save trees and reduce waste. It’s a win-win for both us and Mother Nature.

But hey, don’t just take my word for it. The numbers speak for themselves. Since early 2020, HR professionals have been embracing electronic signatures like never before. That 2530% increase in usage is no joke! It just goes to show how much they value the convenience, security, and eco-friendliness that electronic signatures bring to the table.

So there you have it. HR pros are hopping on the electronic signature bandwagon, and for good reason. They’re saving time, keeping things secure, and doing their part for the environment. It’s no wonder usage has skyrocketed. So next time you need to sign an important document, why not give electronic signatures a try? Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Can you believe how many human resources pros are using eSignature technology now compared to earlier this year? It’s pretty mind-blowing! In fact, I recently read a survey that said the number has increased an incredible 2,530%!

This survey compared the first and second quarters of 2020.

The increase was mainly due to the large number of new HR professionals who have started using eSignature. It’s amazing to think that the number of new users tripled during this period. In fact, there was a staggering 213% increase in new users between April and June alone!

SignEasy Survey: eSignatures Use Skyrockets in 2020

So, have you heard about e-signatures? They’re pretty cool! Basically, an e-signature is like a fancy digital version of your handwritten signature. Instead of physically signing a document, you can use an e-signature to give your consent or approval on electronic documents or forms.

Now, why are e-signatures becoming so popular? Well, according to SignEasy, it’s all because of this thing called COVID-19. You know, the virus that’s been causing a lot of trouble lately. Because of all the concerns and safety measures, professionals have been turning to e-signatures to make things easier and safer.

Think about it: with e-signatures, you can securely exchange and sign documents without having to be physically present. This comes in handy for things like remote hiring and employee services, as well as work-from-home agreements. It’s like a virtual handshake!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns and closures made it difficult for professionals to use office equipment like printers and scanners. This meant that HR professionals had to find new ways to handle paperwork without physical contact. That’s where eSignatures come in.

eSignatures allow HR professionals to sign documents electronically, using their phones, tablets, or computers. It’s a convenient and safe way to get things done without leaving your home or office. And it turns out, HR professionals are embracing this technology.

In fact, the use of eSignatures among HR professionals has grown by a staggering 3,173% in the second quarter. That’s a huge leap! It shows that more and more professionals are realizing the benefits of signing documents digitally.

Not only does using eSignatures keep people safe by reducing physical contact, but it also helps create a more streamlined workflow. With eSignatures, the hiring process becomes easier and more efficient. Organizational processes are also improved, making life easier for both HR professionals and employees.

Growing Adoption of eSignatures

As an HR professional, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate the challenges of hiring remotely in today’s business world. The good news is that adopting new technologies has made this process much easier. In fact, according to SignEasy’s data, HR professionals like me are using their eSignature service for remote hiring a whopping 3,000% more than we were in the first quarter!

Now, SignEasy has some valuable advice for us to further improve our remote hiring process. They suggest that we can send and sign all our important documents directly from our existing ATS or HRIS. How convenient is that? SignEasy even integrates seamlessly with Freshworks and Freshteam to make it even easier for us to get the job done.

Every day, I have to sign off on a bunch of important documents like payroll, performance reviews, timesheets, claims, and expense reimbursements. Usually, I have to print them out and physically sign them, which is a big hassle. It makes it hard for me to stay productive and engaged, especially when I’m working from home.

According to SignEasy’s research, a lot of people are dealing with a ton of online paperwork right now because of layoffs and economic uncertainty. In fact, there were even more documents signed for new hires in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter, with a 17.85% increase in new users.

Not just HR departments, but other professionals are also jumping on board the eSignature train, although not as much as HR. For example, people in professional services have seen a huge 654% increase in eSignature use. Financial services, education, and IT have also experienced significant growth, with increases of 370%, 305%, and 134% respectively.

The Advantages of Going Paperless

When you choose to go paperless, you’re deciding to reduce or completely eliminate the use of paper in your business. This means you’ll be using digital methods instead, like turning your paper files into electronic ones. You can easily do this by using scanners or even just the camera on your phone or tablet to capture digital versions of your documents.

Once you’ve digitized your documents, you can then use special software to process and save them. The great thing is that programs like Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat can work together with this software, making it even easier to manage your documents.

Another advantage of using document management software is that you can control who has access to your sensitive documents. You can choose specific people to be able to view and work with these documents, keeping them secure. This is much better than using paper documents, as they can easily get lost, filed in the wrong place, or even accidentally destroyed without anyone noticing.

Even though we have so many ways to share information electronically, it’s a bummer that most businesses still use paper documents. But hey, going paperless has a ton of advantages! It saves resources and helps keep things secure. Plus, businesses save money by using less supplies and being more eco-friendly with less paper going to waste in a landfill.

And you know what else? Going paperless makes things a whole lot easier. You don’t have to deal with all the physical and mental work of organizing and finding piles and piles of paperwork. It’s a real game-changer!
