You roll out an HRMS or leave management tool, and suddenly your WhatsApp fills up with complaints: "It's not user-friendly," "My login isn't working," or "Why can't I just tell my manager directly?" In startups with an informal culture, HR tech is often seen as bureaucracy, not support.

Adoption of HR tech tools in Indian companies, especially where informal processes are the norm, can indeed be challenging. Here are some strategies HR can take to encourage adoption:
1. User-Friendly Design: Ensure the HR tool is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Collaborate with the tool provider to facilitate a simpler interface if necessary.
2. Training Sessions: Organize regular training sessions where employees can learn how to use the HR tech tool effectively and understand its benefits. This can also be an opportunity to address any queries or concerns.
3. Open Communication: Maintain open lines of communication where employees can voice their concerns or difficulties in using the tool. This will show that HR is supportive and willing to assist.
4. Incentivizing Use: Incentivize the use of the tool by integrating it with performance management or offering rewards for regular usage. This can motivate employees to start using the tool.
5. Gradual Implementation: Rather than an abrupt change, introduce the tool gradually, giving employees ample time to adapt to the new system.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to streamline HR processes, making them more efficient and less time-consuming for employees. Highlighting these benefits can go a long way in encouraging adoption.
