Management Self Service Software

Manager Self Service Systems

Deemed as Manager Self-Service (MSS), the ability to use software to automate administrative functions for managers delivers time savings and payback. Promotions, job requisitions, employee leave work-ups, and compensation changes, are all examples of HR tasks that are best performed by the managers themselves. And because changes can be made 24/7, they can be made as-needed; reducing time and costs on low-value administrative work. Although these self service software solutions are widely available, usage is still sparse given high deployment costs, and much-needed change management guidance.
