Do you remember the very first time that you saw
self-service functionality in an HRMS (human resource management system)? I
remember being amazed and pleased at self-service, because employees as well as
managers would be capable to access information on demand. In current years,
self-service choices have increased and it is now a generally offered aspect in
several HRMS applications. Not everyone picks to implement it, but is this
realistic in today’s world? Could an HRMS system function without the input of
employees as well as managers?
Here are few
reasons, why self service HRMS abilities should be a significant aspect : -
HRMS Self-Service
can Diminish and Refocus HR Tasks
As there are so many companies who exist in market
without HRMS self-service, it is a choice to live without it. Though, it puts a
heavy saddle on your HR staff to be accessible for all administrative jobs;
employee address modifications, registering for a course, managers who wish to
view the compensation of their teams, etc. By keeping HR as a transactional
data entry drone it ahead strengthens the idea that HR exists to do admin,
rather than being a right partner to the business.
HRMS Self-Service
Functions are Familiar to the User
Managers as well as employees are familiar with a
self-service world: filing taxes, banking, signing up for classes at the gym,
all of these jobs are simply done by a person who is online at home. So, if you
are proffering HRMS self-service, you risk your HR workforce being seen as a
technology dinosaur, or worse; the credence that there is a hidden motive for
restricting access to an employee’s own data. When a new joining starts who
worked at a company earlier where HRMS self-service was utilized, it could be a
bit of a culture shock to be ‘going backwards’ and not the great image to
portray of your organization.
HRMS Self-Service
can Diminish the ‘Big Data Problem’
One more way that self-service lends itself to being
‘necessary’ rather than a ‘nice to have’ is on the data integrity front. I’ve
been lucky to see few companies launch self-service for the very first time, by
opening visibility to the data you’ll swiftly see where you have data erroneousness
or inconsistencies. In the long run, your data will stay cleaner because
managers as well as employees will bring any data issues just straight to HR.
Self-service also permits you to straight reach
employees as well as managers to gather data in a simple way, particularly for
more of the ‘optional’ or ‘nice to have’ data such as certifications and
languages. We have found that employees will frequent enter data into the HRMS
when given the choice; it not only permits for more career development
opportunities for the employee but can also be a success for a company.
This would not only lead you to a more vigorous data set but it can offer a basis to reap the advantages of big data too.

The advantages of picking an HRMS with self-service
functionality should now be very clear. Of course there are always defies, and
you should be ready to quiz vendors on how their HRMS self-service can help
your business.
