HR self service FAQs
HR self service software is a digital or online tool that allows employees to complete their own HR tasks, update data and read company information of their own volition. Not only will this reduce time spent by HR on minor employee tasks, but it will improve employee engagement and reduce errors across HR processes.
An employee self service portal is an online, cloud-based HR portal that gives your employees access to their HR and payroll data. With a self-service HR portal, employees can request holidays, view policies, edit their details, and check their pay online. With our mobile app, the portal can be accessed from anywhere as long as they have an internet connection. Find out more about it in our guide: .
