So, you are thinking about how Employee Self Service could benefit your business. There are several key ways: it reduces the work flow of your upper management; it leaves the employee in more “control” of their work and in turn empowers them; it reduces the need to police your employees because when you trust people they typically do the right thing on their own.
Your upper management has their hands full already, the last thing they need is a bigger work load. Allowing your employees to take care of their time cards, breaks etc. will reduce the headaches of upper management. This doesn’t mean that you give over total control to your employees, but you do loosen the reigns a little bit.
A happy worker is a productive worker, and what could make an employee happier than having more freedom? Most people would view this as a responsibility; typically, people with more responsibilities feel more empowered. The more empowered an employee feels the more likely they are to do good work for you. This time, money, and management saving tactic can also increase your productivity and leave your employees in a better mood all around.
No one wants the man (or woman) breathing down their neck while they are working. The more freedoms your employees have, the better the quality of their work will be. Most people want to do a good job for their employers and take significant pride in doing things the right way; allowing them to handle some things on their own can help to build confidence and self esteem, both of which are characteristics most upper management would want in their lower level employees.
These suggestions are simple, effective, and easy to implement. If you are hesitant, try these suggestions on a probationary period and wait and see what happens: chances are, you will have happier management, happier employees, and a more productive work environment which at the end of the day means more money and a more successful business.
