Benefits of Employee Self-Service Software
Access to Information
One central hub for everything – no more waiting for line managers, HR or Payroll departments to respond to queries.
Employees can easily manage their time and personal details and have more control over their working lives.
Flexible Working
Employees can use the Employee Self-Service portal to view accurate Flexitime balances or Clock In or Out to record working hours while working remotely. Perfect for organisations that have flexible or remote working policies.
Efficiency
With minimal training, employees can access personal information, request leave and view work schedules or holiday balances – this reduces the number of queries to HR and line managers.
Managers receive an email notification when employees request leave and approve those requests directly through email – which improves response times, reduces admin and keeps employees satisfied.
Enhanced Employee Engagement
Giving employees access to their information gives them more control over their working lives and creates a culture of motivated and empowered people.
Improved Accuracy
Moving away from manual tracking through emails and spreadsheets dramatically improves accuracy and accountability.
