This article explores how CloudApper AI, integrated with UKG Pro, can automate employee counseling in retail, streamlining the process and improving outcomes.

The Problem: Manual Processes and Lack of Efficiency

Imagine a retail organization with 12,000 employees across numerous gas stations. Tracking employee violations, taking appropriate actions, and ensuring timely counseling were significant challenges. The process involved:

Manual violation tracking: Managers documented violations on paper forms, leading to potential errors and inconsistencies.

Time-consuming actions: Manually initiating notifications and triggering counseling actions for each violation was a slow and laborious task.

According to a 2022 SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) study, 72% of HR professionals reported that manual processes create significant obstacles in managing employee relations issues.

Limited data capture: Data on violations often needed more details, making it difficult to identify trends or patterns.

Inefficient communication: Emails were the primary mode of communication, leading to delays and potential information gaps.

  2. Notification to Employee: The complaint is sent to the employee via SMS for their remarks. And a brief description report about the complaint is sent to their email.
  3. Employee Response: The employee responds to the complaint through SMS. This response is automatically saved in the record-keeping system.
  4. Escalation to Higher Manager: The complaint, along with the employee’s remarks, is forwarded to a higher manager for review.
  5. Higher Manager’s Decision: If the higher manager approves, the reporting manager is permitted to schedule a meeting with the employee. If the higher manager disapproves, the complaint may be closed or further reviewed as necessary.
  6. Meeting and Outcome Recording: The reporting manager conducts a meeting with the employee to discuss the incident. The outcome of this meeting is recorded in the system to ensure there is a complete and accurate account of the incident and the resolution process.
