Why ‘Yes’ to Employee Self Service (ESS) system
Employee Self Service (ESS) is a prevailing human capital management trend, which is intended to empower the employees with the freedom to access their records and payroll details and to help them to take more responsibility for their jobs and development. Interestingly, the concept of Self Service is not at all new; at the buffet counter of a restaurant or the self-checkout of a supermarket, you don’t prefer waiting for something which you can do yourself. It’s no different in your office environment.
The human resource department plays a significant role in any business. As long as there is a workforce, salaries have to be paid, taxes are to be calculated, and policies need to be updated. Recent industry surveys demonstrate that about 80% of the total time in an HR department is spent on paper works and administration works, and this leads to ‘No Time’ for focusing on more strategic issues that can affect the bottom-line of the business. Meanwhile, there are a lot of tasks entitled to the HR department which could be easily handled by other employees in the course of their regular everyday duties. So this is the right time to have an employee self-service system in operation, freeing up the HR staff to deal with more strategic affairs.
During the early stages of Employee Self Service’s evolution, it did not allow employees to perform anything other than adding or editing their address or name fields. Even now, many ‘so-called’ Employee Self Service software systems available in the market offer very basic ‘Do it yourself’ functions to the users. However modern Employee Self Service system like ePROMIS Employee Self Service (ESS) is a convenient workspace, where the employees can place their leave requests, view salary statements, plan holidays, change address and manage other personal information including skills, bank accounts, and emergency contacts. And all without once involving HR.
A modern ESS software system, as a whole, can generate remarkable benefits for both employees and employers.
