The benefits of an employee self-service HR software

Employee self-service is the modern way to handle HR admin. Empower your teams with a software solution that provides them and you benefits!

And if you haven’t already invested in an ESS, here’s why you should:

Reasons why SMEs should choose ESS for HR management

Increases data accuracy

With the ability to edit their own details. From employee information such as personal address to date of birth or more detailed data such as their employee national insurance number, your staff can support you in making sure your HR data is as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

Removes admin responsibilities from managers

By giving your employees the access to self-serve a large majority of HR management removes the admin time required from managers. When you’re running a growing business, the last thing you want to sacrifice is time. Afterall, time = money. At least that’s how the saying goes.

At BrightHR we are all too familiar with businesses looking to reduce time spent on HR admin tasks. Particularly as the team grows and managers are responsible for more and more employees.

Having a self-service HR software simplifies admin responsibilities and involves more of your team directly. Giving them responsibility over things such as

●     Making holiday requests

●     Accepting their planned shifts & rotas

●     Reviewing performance goals

●     Completing essential e-learning

Can be accessible from anywhere

Employee self-service HR software allows teams to access essential HR information from their own devices. This means, no matter where your teams are located, they can access the information they need to keep on top of essential admin.

If an employee is working remotely, there’s no need for back and forth emails or paper trails, simply update the software with their latest rota and send them an instant notification direct to their phone.

Boost employee engagement and increase staff retention rates

With greater ability to access their own information, data, and tools that directly impact their workplace wellbeing, it's no surprise that investing in an ESS solution can boost employee engagement and improve staff retention rates.
