Less chasing. A clearer way to get things done.

HR-led administration

  • Employees email HR for routine updates and requests.
  • Managers chase information before making decisions.
  • HR checks progress and passes updates between people.

Connected self-service

  • Employees complete available tasks through self-service.
  • Managers review requests with relevant team information.
  • Configured approvals guide the process and keep HR involved where needed.

Practical self-service. Clear responsibility.

Employees take action

Give employees a clear starting point for everyday HR tasks, without making the HR inbox their first stop.

Managers keep work moving

Bring team information and routine approvals together so managers can act with context.

HR retains oversight

Define which activities people can complete and where review is needed, keeping responsibility clear.

For employees

Everyday HR, within reach.

  • Update personal details released for self-service.
  • Record time and submit travel expenses and receipts.
  • Follow requests, development goals and agreed training.

For managers

The information to make the next decision.

Help managers handle their part of the HR process, with access to relevant information about their team.

A clear route from request to outcome.

A typical approval journey can bring the employee, manager and HR record together. The exact route is configured around the task and your organisation’s policies.

01

Submit a request

The employee enters the information needed for a task, such as a leave request.

02

Review and approve

The request follows the configured review or approval route.

03

Update the record

The outcome is recorded in the relevant HR process.

04

Keep people informed

Status updates and configured notifications help people follow progress.

Familiar ways to work

HR tasks in your Microsoft environment.

Self-service can be accessed through Microsoft Teams, Outlook, a browser or supported mobile experiences. Choose the access options that suit your people and the tasks they need to complete.

Access shaped around responsibility.

Employee access, manager responsibilities and HR review should be defined together. The aim is to give each person the information and actions needed for their role.

  • Agree which personal details employees can maintain.
  • Route restricted changes for HR review.
  • Set manager access around the relevant team and responsibilities.
