Accessibility | HR app to boost the employee experience

Technology has significantly impacted the traditional transactions undertaken by HR, making it possible to integrate processes and reduce administration and the endless paper trail.

Electronic communication is now an expected standard in every aspect of life, with information delivered in a few short clicks. Technology should be easy to use, intuitive and mobile accessible, so it’s no surprise that mobile app adoption within HR is on a growth trajectory; proving itself to be a great partner to current hybrid, flexible working practices.

The Mobile HR Smartphone app, available from HCM software provider Frontier Software, delivers flexibility and mobility. It enables staff to perform HR tasks directly from their device. The “anytime, anywhere” attitude to accessing data is a big benefit to organisations looking to introduce (or expand) a self service approach to HR tasks and processes. Mobile access supports this approach regardless of individual locations and work patterns.

With a mobile app the employee can initiate and action workflow requests. They can view leave balances, apply for leave, enter timesheet information, create expense requests, view pay history and check payslips, regardless of time and place. Managers can handle requests from their team whilst on the go, just as you would expect in our fast paced, technology driven era. If you have been considering the benefits of a self service approach to HR, a mobile app could be just what you’re looking for. It is also great for organisations that cannot or do not want to deploy a full self service offering to all staff.
