Petra Valjak - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of People&Culture at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Unified HR platform has streamlined global hiring, reduced onboarding work, and improved reviews
There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types. For example, I hire a lot of interns and there isn't a specific employment type for intern. There are employment types for direct employee, contractor and similar, but nothing for interns. There is a way to work around it by saying an intern is actually a direct employee and then implementing a custom field, but it would be really good if there was a general field to recognize interns as a part of the workforce. That is something that comes to mind. I think there are still some things that Deel will improve over time and then I will be happy to give it a 10 out of 10. Given the fact that it is still a fairly new HRIS system, there are minor improvements that can be made from that perspective of purely admin work, for example, correcting data in the fields once you import them when changing a salary. If I input one salary incorrectly, I need to import another line. I cannot just correct the previous field, which some of the other HRIS systems allow. This way, on one hand I have full tracking of all the logs so I am not missing if someone corrected something or did any changes, but on the other hand, it also remains visible in the logs. Even if it is a small human error, there is no way to make it very well structured and polished when I am drawing, for example, a historical report of all the salary changes. Such things are minor improvements that I believe would come over time. Once those are implemented, it would be a 10 out of 10.

Chatbot has organized HR queries and has improved employee experience and self-service
The best feature that Leena AI offers is that it improves daily. Everything is improving with Leena AI, especially with enhancements in integrations, analytics, and the addition of AI in chatbots that help personalize content and provide relevant answers to end users based on past experiences from other companies. I worked in Human Resources and managed only the human resources section of Leena AI. Currently, Leena AI has also onboarded smart integration with WhatsApp, Teams, and Outlook, which is a valuable feature to have. Leena AI has positively impacted my organization since I implemented it in 2022 during COVID, as it organized messages from management and recruiters for 25,000 employees, helping to check their wellbeing while circulating important messages. After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined. Queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience. The improvements include an increase in resolution times. Since Leena AI is a growing chatbot, information that was previously scattered is now centralized, improving employee experience from 70% to 90% according to our survey.
