How Boerne ISD Smoothly Transitioned to Remote HR

Join Dr. Elaine Howard, Chief Human Resources Officer at Boerne Independent School District, TX, in this upcoming webinar to discover how you can:

• Smoothly transition to remote work with online access to records & contracts
• Save time and money with an online, paperless HR system
• Conduct remote interviews and offer digital contracts to new hires on the spot

Boerne Independent School District in Texas had a digital HR system, but it wasn’t addressing their needs. Staff at individual schools were still printing out forms and completing processes on paper. This left them vulnerable to data-entry errors while also costing valuable time and resources.

After making the switch to PowerSchool Unified Talent™ Applicant Tracking and Employee Records, they were able to digitize and automate their HR processes across the board. New employee recruiting, hiring, and onboarding are now completed in a paperless environment, as well as annual compliance training and contract management. They also have all former, current, and new employee records in one online database for easy, secure reference at any time. Going paperless has saved them roughly $8,000 a year on supplies that has been rerouted back into recruiting and hiring.

And because the district was already up and running with an online system, they suffered no downtime when the year’s school closures forced them to work remotely. Now they offer their new hires digital contracts, so they can fill availabilities on the spot without missing a beat. In fact, annual hiring is ahead of schedule due to time savings from remote interviews.

“It made going to the remote work environment seamless for us,” Howard says. “It was no big deal.”
