HR WORKS’ Employee Self-Service portal offers a range of benefits to businesses. It makes administrative procedures much shorter, helps keep employee information up to date, streamlines the leave approval process, etc.
Once you start using HR WORKS for your company’s human resource management, you will have access to a series of additional features. Employee Self Service or ESS is one of them.
People working at your organisation can use Employee Self-Service to get direct access to their human resource data. They can use the platform to see and review HR data and make related transactions. The section below explains why it is one of the most important features of HR WORKS.
Makes the Administrative Process Shorter
Your HR manager will save much of his/her precious time by turning to ESS. Employees can use the system to request leave, record their working hours, and update personal data, which means the managers will have less work to do.
With a large share of their daily tasks getting automated, HR managers can use the available time to complete more crucial jobs and engage in strategic conversations.
Reduces Expenses
The human resource department of an organisation is responsible for completing a series of jobs. That’s the reason why many companies end up hiring too many people to complete simple tasks. The ESS feature of HR WORKS will eliminate the need for so much hiring by allowing employees to manage their profiles by visiting the portal.
So, if you introduce ESS in your organisation, it will automatically lead to a significant reduction in your company’s expenses.
Keeps Employee Information Up to Date
Collecting employee data is one of the toughest parts of HR management. What’s even more difficult is data maintenance. The HR manager’s job is not over even when he/she collects all the required employee data and saves them securely. Data keeps changing as people get married or divorced, relocate, acquire fresh skills, obtain new degrees or certifications, fall sick, and so on.
Updating information is often impossible as employees forget to inform the HR manager about the changes. The ESS platform of HR WORKS offers the following benefits as far as data management is concerned:
- Employees can update their data without containing the HR team
- Employees will have access to all HR information 24/7
- HR managers can send out mass reminders to update data
Streamlines the Leave Application Process
The Employee Self-Service portal of HR WORKS eliminates the need for online forms, email chains, and other paperwork to submit leave requests. Employees will get to see the number of available paid leaves and submit their vacation or sick leave requests on the portal. The portal will immediately alert the management about the application so that it can deny or approve it.
This feature of the HR management tool enhances the accuracy and efficiency of the HR team when it comes to time off management.
Makes Benefits Enrolment Easier
The HR team needs to invest a lot of time and effort to choose the best benefits for employees. Things become even more complicated during the open enrolment season. Your job will become a lot easier if you use HR WORKS’ ESS platform.
Having access to the platform will let your employees enroll in benefits themselves. They will be allowed to see their spending account balance and plan information even after the open enrolment process is over. ESS will also let them submit claims directly from its homepage.
More in Store
Other than offering the above benefits, the Employee Self-Service portal of HR WORKS also streamlines the process of performance review and appraisal. It offers employees direct access to their payroll, payslips, and accurate tax information. Last, but not least with ESS, they also enjoy access to handbooks, policy documents, and handbooks on this portal.
Overall, it can be stated that ESS is beneficial both for the HR team of an organisation and its employees.
