HR Self Service Software Key Features
Integrated with your other software systems
Mobile HR self service access from anywhere
The People HR mobile app gives your employees easy access to the self service portal from anywhere. Whether your people are working remotely, on the front line or out on the road, they can carry out HR tasks such as requesting leave, accessing and updating their HR and personal information.
Consistent onboarding, every time
HR self service helps manage your vacancies and potential candidates directly from the portal. Candidates can apply for your job vacancy, carry out a video interview and upon getting the job, commence their onboarding – all from their personal device. And with eSignatures, they can sign the relevant documentation such as contracts and Right to Work without the need of paper, printers and scanners.
With our effortless employee self service portal, your new starter can receive friendly welcome emails and notifications to guide them through their induction. Including automatically sending a welcome pack, questionnaire, policy documentation, a video tour of your office, as well as reminders about those all important tasks such as inputting their bank and emergency contact details.
Automate and interact with your HR tasks
Ripple® is the name of our trademarked workflow management software, an integral part of employee and HR self service. Using Ripple®, you can delegate tasks to others automatically. Such as updating their details, checking their holiday entitlement or uploading vital HR documentation. This allows you to spend less time on HR admin and more time on the day job.
For effective business automation, Ripple® can be used in two ways:
1. Automated ripple® - which as the name suggests, runs set HR tasks in the background without you having to do anything; and
2. Interactive ripple® – which gives your people a fully interactive digital experience when onboarding, offboarding and going through a change in circumstances i.e. a promotion or joining a new team.
Stay on top of HR compliance
HR compliance is an ongoing concern for all businesses, with GDPR rules and ever changing data regulations always on the horizon. With HR self service software, you’ll never miss a vital step in your HR processes again, ensuring your business is fully compliant. With our self-service HR software, you’ll also have:
- Control over employee & admin access to sensitive records
- A full audit trail of changes
- Easy creation of employee forms
- Confidence in our data security credentials
Engage your people
Employee engagement is an essential part of employee retention and wellbeing, and using a HR self service portal can ensure that both your people and HR are fully engaged. Using People HR automated Ripple® tasks, you can ensure that your employees are using the portal to schedule regular annual leave to prevent burnout and holiday hoarding.
