Key takeaways
Worth quoting
“Still, self-service doesn't replace HR. HR professionals still answer difficult questions, apply policy, handle sensitive cases, and help people through changes that don't fit a standard form.” – Mirko Peters (09:19)
“Records tell you what happened. Workflows help decide what happens next. A workflow is simply a set route for a task.” – Mirko Peters (13:42)

Key takeaways
- Dynamics 365 Human Resources gives each employee one controlled record with job details, skills, certifications and reporting lines, protected by roles and permissions.
- Self-service and Microsoft Teams integration let employees check leave balances and submit requests while managers approve them through defined workflows, reducing email chains.
- The product connects with payroll, recruiting, learning tools and Power BI rather than replacing them, so companies should define their HR processes first and configure the software around them.
