Exploring Employee Self Service

What is Employee Self-Service (ESS)?
Employee Self-service is a digital solution that helps employees perform HR-related tasks without the direct assistance of the human resources department. The goal here is to optimize administrative processes by allowing employees to perform tasks they can accomplish on their own. Employee Self Service can be accessed from Mobile App or a secure web portal.

For example, Employees can view their leave balance, Airline tickets, the employee can apply for leave, and expenses and also can update their information by having online access to the Employee self-service portal.

The Employee Self-Service portal can typically assist with the following:

Request leave and reimbursement.
Examine the schedules or Roaster Management.
Obtain payroll information and download the pay slip.
Update personal information (emergency phone number, address, banking information)
Request for Air-Tickets and various letters and can also apply for Loans.
Receive birthday, anniversary, and holiday alerts and notifications.
Check-in and check-out time sheets.
Managers can use the ESS to approve leave and reimbursement requests, send updates, review timesheets, and review other employee requests without involving HR.

Reduces HR-related expenses
Employee self-service portals can save you money in a variety of areas of your business. For example, an ESS portal drastically reduces the amount of time spent accessing and updating employee data, freeing up time to improve the work environment and save money on workforce-related costs.
