Benefits of Employee Self Service

An ESS app is a simple piece of software that temporary workers install on their phones. By using the app, they reduce your administrative workload. Partly because they enter information themselves and partly because you no longer have to inform them about important information such as schedules or payments. After all, it is all in the app. This saves you money and ensures that temporary workers are happy at work. 

Because any information entered is processed immediately, you are always up to date. Everything is digital, so no more need for paper forms and timesheets. This greatly reduces the risk of errors and misunderstandings.   

Another advantage: with an ESS app you collect a lot of data. It takes no time at all to generate an analytical report with valuable insights. This helps you optimise your staffing strategy and maximise profitability. 

Employee Self Service functionalities

An ESS has several very useful functionalities. Temporary workers can use it to:

  • Communicate availability – Indicate when you are available to work and when you are not.  

  • Shift Picking – Choose from available work shifts.   

  • Schedule – A clear overview of the scheduled work. So you know exactly when you’re working.

  • Time Registration – The option to enter your worked hours.

  • Leave requests – Submit leave requests. These can be immediately approved or rejected.

  • Edit personal details – Update your personal information such as address or relationship status. Add relevant info such as a driving licence or diplomas. 

Employee Self Service software 

The software of an ESS app is designed for a smooth user experience. Information in the app is easy to find and personal info can be easily edited. The features for temporary workers are also user-friendly. So that every temporary worker is in control of their own work.
