1. Candidate
2. Employee
3. Job Opening

Business Processes (The “How”)

Business processes are the workflows that define how HR activities are executed. Examples include:

1. Recruitment: Posting job openings, reviewing applications, and scheduling interviews.
2. Onboarding: Setting up new employees with resources and documentation.
3. Performance Reviews: Scheduling and conducting evaluations, followed by feedback sessions.

Clearly defining these elements upfront avoids rework and ensures a structured implementation. Who: To ease these workflows, collaboration between business and technical teams is vital. This ensures that requirements are well-defined and solutions are tailored to meet the organization’s needs. Assigning specific roles to HR specialists, IT personnel, and data analysts fosters clarity and accelerates implementation. When: The ideal time to clarify business objects and processes is during the early stages of digital transformation or when transitioning to a new platform. Proactively addressing these elements ensures smooth implementation and avoids delays.

2. Logical Data Modeling for HR

Designing a robust data model is a critical step in building an HR management application. This involves structuring business objects and relationships to align with business processes, as recommended in Drinkizz’s No-Code and AI offer.

This collaboration ensures alignment with real-world needs. When: The best time for logical data modeling is right after defining business objects and processes. This step builds on the foundation laid during the clarification phase, creating a seamless transition to technical implementation.

3. Documenting Technical Rules

Technical rules govern automation and workflows within your HR solution and it may include:

1. Automated Leave Approvals

With a clear structure in place, documenting technical rules ensures that workflows align with business objectives.
