Web Based Employee Self Services




           For this time entry, I would like to elaborate more about web based employee self services. Definition of employee self services  (ESS) is a combination of technology and organizational change that enables users to interact directly with their human resource data to inquire, review and act upon transactions in the workplace.

          Before there have web based employee self services in information system, every human resource professional in the organizations need to make manually and need to use a lot of sheet paper in order to record all the employees information that worked at the organizations. By having the web based employees self services in the system, it offer employee self service giving the entire workforce immediate access to critical information, helping to attract and retain the highest quality employees, and enabling more effective communication across the organization. As addition, when has the technology and internet, employees can update about their personal information anytime if there has any changes with their personal information.

          Web based employee self services are available and can be surf  by all employees and employers using the advanced internet and technology nowadays via company's intranet or portal, or through specialized kiosks, and may be confined to a company's private network.

                By developing web based employees self service, there have some of advantages and benefit towards the organizations which are :-

1)    Convenience
By using the web based employee self services, it make the work of human resource managers more easier when they want to update or keep the personal information about their employees such as about payroll, view the vacancy in the organization and so on. Then, its are convenience because employees and employers can easily access the web if there has the internet connection.

2)    Reduced human resource requirement
Before this, human resource managers need to get and accept the forms of  direct deposit that fill by the employees to get the pay check and adjust their deposit, but, after using the web ESS, employees can access the web to get their pay check and so on. So, human resource managers can use their work time by doing the other job that related to the organizations job.

          Lastly, one of  the disadvantages by using this web are can make the employees fell frustrated. This is because, not all employees are expert by using the computer and internet, so, it would make them left behind compare with the employees that expert using the web based employee self services.
