Everyone uses the internet nowadays, from browsing ‘funny’ videos of cats to online banking, it’s the norm to carry out everyday tasks online. With this in mind it’s strange that businesses are still not implementing employee self service portals. There are many advantages of such systems, for the employees, individual departments and companies as a whole.
#1 Data accuracy
By allowing the employee to enter their own details, the chance of data inaccuracies or misspelled words are reduced. If a verification ‘step’ is included in the process then data inaccuracy is reduced even further. Who better to enter employee details than the employees themselves.
#2 Compliance
Using document storage and collaboration within a self service portal allows a business to record and track those employees who have read and understood company policies and announcements. The ability to report on this data enables a business to record that they have informed the workforce, as well as track and improve their processes.
