HR Tech | Can Employee Self-Service (ESS) Be Used To Boost Engagement?

Is your organisation using an employee self-service (ESS) system? The major benefit of having one is enabling employees to manage their own data, in order to save time for your HR team.

But what if we told you there was more to the story? In this article, we dive into ESS systems and the case for leveraging self-service models as a way to boost engagement and retention in your organisation.

What Is Employee Self-Service?

Employee self-service (ESS) refers to systems or softwares that allow employees to manage elements of their work. At its most basic level, this might include being able to view things like their payslips or contract.

A more progressive system will take this a step forward, allowing employees to make changes to their data (like their address, bank account information or even their surname). Of course, HR should still play a role in approving changes.
