    Key Features

    • Process Visualization: Map processes across different systems and functions to identify inefficiencies.
    • Process Streamlining: Detect bottlenecks, redundancies, and inefficiencies to enhance service delivery.
    • Automation Opportunities: Identify repetitive tasks that can be automated for efficiency.
    • Performance Improvement: Link process maps to KPIs for root cause analysis and identify performance drivers.
    • Role-Based Access: Utilize tools like the Analyst Workbench to visualize and analyze HR service workflow data, requiring specific role combinations.
    • Pre-Built Projects: Access predefined HR service case models to facilitate configuration and analysis.
    • Integration with Other Applications: Connect with the Continual Improvement Management (CIM) and Performance Analytics (PA) to track improvements and analyze performance metrics.

    Key Outcomes

    By implementing the HR Service Delivery Process Optimization application, organizations can expect:

    • Enhanced process visibility and identification of problem areas in HR services.
    • Improved efficiency through streamlined processes and automation of repetitive tasks.
    • Informed decision-making based on data-driven insights and performance analytics.
    • Continuous improvement in HR service delivery aligned with organizational KPIs.

    Integrating the Process Mining application with the HR Service Delivery application enables you to analyze processes relevant to your KPIs, and identify bottlenecks associated with HR service cases and, if installed, Lifecycle Events cases.

    Process Mining for HR Service Delivery feature overview

    Process Mining for HR Service Delivery enables companies to analyze and improve service delivery processes. It leverages Process Mining capabilities in the ServiceNow platform and offers a best practice content pack for HR Service Delivery.

    The HRSD Process Mining content pack contains preconfigured process mining models that help analysts and process owners understand the effectiveness of their processes, including opportunities for continued performance improvement.

    Use Process Mining to discover, streamline, visualize, analyze, monitor, and more.
    • Visualize your processes: Map processes across system and functional boundaries based on data analysis.​
    • Streamline your processes: Identify bottlenecks, siloes, redundancies, and other inefficiency drivers.
    • Automate your processes: Identify frequent, consistent, and repeated tasks that are suitable for automation.
    • Improve your processes: Link process maps to KPIs to perform root cause analysis and identify drivers of performance.

    For complete information about the Process Mining application and how it relates to and integrates with HR Service Delivery, see Process Mining.

    To enable the Process Mining content pack for HR Service Delivery, see Activate Process Mining content packs.

    HR Service Delivery Process Mining configuration model

    HR Service Delivery Process Mining configuration model includes process definitions for standard HR services, as well as a process map that uses multi-dimensional mining for Lifecycle Events if this application is installed.

    Process maps and transitions look across your portfolio of HR services to find and visualize problem areas, opportunities for enhancements, and process compliance​.

    Table 1. Process definitions and multi-dimensional mining
    All standard HR services Lifecycle Events (if installed)
    Looks across HRSD to find deviations and problem areas. Provides a Lifecycle Event process map using multi-dimensional intelligent mining.
    Provides a single HR service view, enabling you to drill down to find bottlenecks and other fulfillment issues. Access automated end-to-end process visibility on multi-relational processes and tables​.
    Automatically notifies process owners when common issues are detected using process configurations, such as channel performance degradation, KPI obtainment trends (for example, SLA), or too much variation between what is expected versus what is actual. Quickly find key drivers behind process problems using an AI-based root cause analyzer.

    End user and roles

    If you have the required roles, you can use Analyst Workbench to access the visualized process workflow data, and tools for analyzing the data related to HR service cases. For more information, see Overview of the Analyst Workbench.

    The following combinations of roles are required for using the Process Mining application with HR Service Delivery.

    Optimization project for HR service cases

    The HRSD Process Mining content pack (com.sn_hr_process_mining) adds a pre-built project that includes predefined HR service cases and, if installed, Lifecycle Events cases process model definitions. By default, the project filters cases for the last two quarters. You can also configure a new process project based on the pre-built project. For more information, see Configuring Process Mining.

    The process model definitions include default activity definitions and breakdown definitions for cases that you can use as they are or modify for a custom configuration.
    • Use activity definitions to understand state transitions such as cases transitioning from the work in progress state to the solution proposed state and analyze the linked processes such as Problem (PRB) records.
    • Use breakdown definitions to filter records and analyze a process map by categories. For example, you can filter the HR service case data by different channels, products, assignment groups, and locations.

    Continual Improvement Management initiative for HR cases

    If the Continual Improvement Management (CIM) application is enabled, you can also use the CIM project from the Analyst Workbench to track the progress of improvement initiatives for HR cases. The improvement initiative and process optimization model are automatically linked. For more information, see Integration with Continual Improvement Management.

    Performance Analytics for HR cases

    If the Performance Analytics (PA) application is enabled, you can also use the available template configurations to open the Process Mining application from a PA indicator based on the HR service case data. For more information, see Integration with Performance Analytics (PA).
