Empowering your HR Department by focusing on high value activities

HR departments are often overwhelmed with low value activities such as filing performance reviews, filing supervisor notes, processing benefit enrollments, answering employee inquiries about vacation and accrued benefits. While necessary, these activities do not create the same value if these efforts were more focused on recruitment of candidates or improving the workplace for existing employees. One way to gain efficiencies in the Human Resource Department is to delegate the responsibility of maintaining routine employee information to employees themselves and their supervisors.

By using the existing features in Accpac HR Series, security roles can be set up so that supervisors can maintain information on their own direct reports without seeing any other information in the HR Series Software. They can enter performance reviews on their direct reports, document conversations, produce correspondence and maintain any industry specific information such as required training themselves. This allows the supervisor to use the existing software to assist in managing their employees and eliminating the redundancies in the HR department.

By implementing the Accpac HR Self-Service module, employees can keep their routine information updated such as current address, dependents, emergency contacts and can see what benefits they are enrolled in, what benefits are available and how much vacation time they have earned and used. Employees can even self enroll in benefits they are eligible for and request time off through HR Self-Service. Imagine the time savings and the reduction of telephone calls the HR Department will have to handle on routine information. The best part of the Accpac HR Self-Service functionality is that all the information collected can be either automatically updated or reviewed by the HR Department before any updating takes place.

Another great feature of HR Self-Service is that any document or web page can be linked to the Self-Service web page. That means employee handbooks, health insurance plan documents, internal job openings, current company sponsored events, and other pertinent information can be accessed through HR Self-Service. Between the Correspondence Wizard and Accpac HR Self-Service, you can communicate information very easily to employees and keep a history of it, with out a huge employee file.
