New to HR? Discover How Excel Can Simplify Your Work and Boost Efficiency

Hi Prativa,

Please help me understand how Excel is used in HR functions. I am new to HR and do not know how Excel is utilized in HR functions. What is its purpose and how can we effectively use it for our work?

I understand that Excel is used for maintaining data and for creating management information system (MIS) reports, but I would appreciate a deeper understanding of its applications in HR.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Prativa

Hi,

Excel can be used for the maintenance of a database. It can also be used to store all the details of the employees, such as date of joining, designation, personal details, company ID, employee code, etc. Excel can also be used for the maintenance of leave, including the number of casual and sick leaves taken, as well as the number of loss of pay, etc.

Thanks

Hi Prativa,

Shilpa is very much correct regarding the use of Excel in HR functions. You can get a quick view of all the relevant information of an employee if you become familiar with the uses of Excel. It's really a very useful application to keep all the data in a mannered way.

Hi Prativa :D,

I agree with Mr. Amit and Ms. Shilpa. You can create an Excel sheet related to workmen and their employment history, background, reports, returns, leave encashment, etc.

It's important and necessary to generate letters in Word. For example, if you want to display vertical data in Word, you can convert Excel data into a Word file using Merge Mail. This function helps you save time on data entry, preparing appointment letters, vertical data (employment history), and more.

Hi,

You can process salary through Excel. It's very easy to process. VLOOKUP and Pivot tables are also very useful.
