Engage your workforce with enableHR Self Service
Promote greater workforce engagement whilst saving your business time and money by empowering your workforce to perform routine HR and WHS tasks remotely through their own secure Self Service portal – all without having to disrupt the HR department.
With enableHR’s Self Service (eSS) module, you can put the power back in the hands of your people (literally). Staff can log into their own company branded Self Service account from their desktop computer or on the move from their mobile devices. Businesses can also differentiate themselves from other employers through the use of enableHR’s slick, modern and smooth on-boarding functionality where employers can secure, on-board and induct the best candidates with great speed whilst creating a positive experience for your newest team member.
The best part is that any action undertaken in Self Service automatically updates the worker’s electronic HR file making it simple and easy for businesses to comply with legal record keeping requirements. As a result, HR Managers are no longer bogged down with excess administrative work and chasing employees up to complete tasks such as returning signed documentation.
Self Service features include:
- Access from anywhere, at anytime, on any device
- Seamless integration with all enableHR modules
- Paperless on-boarding and induction for successful candidates
- Electronically sign employment agreements
- Acknowledge important policies and notifications
- Update personal information
- Review, respond and action assigned tasks
- Plan, track and manage:
- Training and qualifications
- Workplace hazards and incidents - Complete Online Performance Reviews
- Access document folders such as company policies and procedures

This checklist provides you with a framework that will guide you on how to successfully set up and launch Self Service across your organisation.
|
Setting the Foundation |
|
| Step 1 - Core enableHR Set Up |
|
|
The foundation for enableHR Self Service is set via core enableHR. You will need to first ensure that core enableHR has been set up. |
|
|
Step 2 - Self Service Email Addresses |
|
|
You will firstly need to ensure that all staff have an email address stored in core enableHR. This is mandatory as eSS cannot work if your staff do not have an email address listed against their record either under the 'work' and 'personal' email fields. You can check this by pulling a Record Export CSV report from enableHR to identify any workers who are missing email addresses. |
|
|
Step 3 - eSS Documentation |
|
|
A wide selection of company documentation can be made to be visible to your workers through eSS. It is important that eSS is populated with important company documentation prior to your launch to ensure that your workers can view and undertake tasks when they first register and log in. For documents to be visible, it must first be stored in core enableHR under any tab with a 'mobile eSS icon' with the correct document type and status. It is recommended that all documentation your workers should be able to access through eSS is reviewed to ensure that the selection is in the correct location, is up-to-date and comprehensive. You can do this by reviewing all documents stored in the following locations:
You will then need to ensure that the document types and statuses are all correct. Permissions to view documentation in eSS is also determined by user access permissions and roles. |
|
|
Step 4 - Training and Qualifications |
|
|
Workers can create, manage and update their own competencies, training and qualifications through their eSS portal. Your business will first need to set up core enableHR to reflect the job requirements for each role and function. As part of the launch you might require each worker to review their current training and qualification and update any licenses or certificates that may have expired. - Overview of the Training & Qualifications Functionality To ensure not to miss any alert (e.g. document expiry, etc), you need to be subscribed to receive these alerts. - What alerts are available in the enableHR system? |
|
|
Step 5 - eSS Notifications |
|
|
The Managers within your business are generally users of core enableHR and use the system in order to manage a range of employment matters through the use of our compliant checklists and documentation in relation to their staff. Managers are kept informed as to when their staff has completed certain actions and tasks within eSS if they are assigned any of the following roles:
Managers will receive notifications only for the staff that are assigned to the Manager's branch. You will need to review each Manager's user roles and branch access to ensure that they will receive the correct notifications. |
|
|
Step 6 - Getting Ready for Launch |
|
|
Now that core enableHR and eSS has been set up, it is now time to start preparing for the launch and registration proecss. Soft Launch It is recommend that your organisation firsts conducts a soft launch of eSS in order to seek feedback and anticipate what the most common questions will be. The members who form part of the soft launch team should becomes advocates, assist with the final launch and act as a point of contact should anyone have questions or require guidance. You will need to issue the users who will form part of the soft launch team with your account's unique URL so that they can register for their eSS account. To locate your unique URL, follow these direction: Settings > Account Settings > Commercial tab > Add-ons tab Welcome Email It is recommended that you start to formulate an appropriate welcome email to be circulated to your workers as part of the final launch. It should provide an overview of eSS, how your business intends for it to be used, FAQ materials, how to register, what to do when they first log in and who to go to with any questions. It is recommended that you instruct each worker to complete an action when they first log in - suggestions include:
Final Launch Once the welcome email is prepared, please review the following article which provides instructions on how to manage the registration process through the use of a unique URL that can be inserted into your welcome email: - How to set up a new eSS user and activation process As part of the launch, Managers should expect questions from their team and will be prompted to review and approve any tasks completed within eSS. For this reason, some businesses prefer to launch eSS by department or region as opposed to all at once. Once the setup and launch process is complete, the volume of notifications will settle down to normal levels. Please keep in mind that Managers will generally have access to both core enableHR and eSS. enableHR allows for Managers to use the same credentials in order to access both portals. Instructions on how to set up this type of access is in the below article: - Can I use the same login for enableHR system and eSS? |

|
Complete - eSS is now set up and ready for on-going use |
|
|
Ongoing Optimisation |
|
|
Communicate directly with staff via eSS |
|
|
Now that your workforce is activated as eSS users, Managers can start to communicate directly with their staff from within core enableHR. Managers can communicate with messages either sent in bulk to all staff/groups/teams (as determined by branch structure) or can communicate with individual messages intended for a specific worker through the assignment of a task. |
