SelfSource™
|
SelfSource™ is a web-based add-on to HRSource™ database/HRIS
that enables manager self-service and employee self-service in small to
mid-sized companies. It is a server-based tool that works with any popular
Internet browser such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.
Manager Self-Service With SelfSource™
managers can view the leave activity and balance of employees in the
department. They can write performance reviews and review historical reviews.
They are able to see information such as performance review due dates, prior
performance reviews and compensation data, and complete Performance Management
forms. Real time, accurate data at their fingertips help them to manage more
efficiently. No need to call HR to get specific information.
Employee Self-Service With SelfSource™,
employees can view and update their personal data. Employees appreciate this
functionality because they can access the data at any time. HR benefits because
it reduces the amount of phone calls and paperwork coming in and out of HR.
Furthermore, new hires can take responsibility for data entry and accuracy of
their personal information. Examples of the tasks that an employee can perform
include:
- Enter new hire demographic information
- View Vacation and Sick Leave balance
- View the amount of leave taken, and leave balance
- View the latest performance review
- View and update personal address and phone information
- View and enter benefits enrollment information
- View and input training and certification data
- View their latest Performance Evaluation
Benefits of Using SelfSource™
| Efficiency
|
SelfSource™ reduces the
burden of data entry on the Human Resources department. Employees input and
update their own information (demographic, benefits, training, etc.) instead of
filling out a paper form for HR to enter.
|
| Convenience
|
Employees can access this
information instantly at any time and from any place that has access to the
network
|
| Data Accuracy
|
Employees enter their own
information, eliminating the challenge of reading difficult-to-read
handwriting. Employees own the responsibility of maintaining the accuracy of
their data.
|
| Productivity
|
Employees don't have to play
phone tag with HR to receive information. Routine questions such as “How
much vacation time do I have?” or “In which benefit plans did I
enroll?” can be answered quickly. Employees save time. HR gets more time
to do higher leverage tasks.
|
What about Security?
Web server software ensures that employees view only their own personal
information, and that managers access data only on their employees. Employees
and managers view data in a web-based environment linked to HRSource™.
This means that employees don't directly enter the HRSource™ database,
thereby keeping HRSource™ secure.

How is SelfSource™ Implemented?
SelfSource™ is built on Aestiva's HTML/OS product. HTML/OS is a
powerful and easy-to-use server-side software that can be easily customized. It
supports all popular server platforms, including Linux, SGI, Sun, Microsoft,
and BSDI platforms. It takes approximately 15 megs of disk space and does not
require reconfiguration of the server. The Aestiva technical staff has
successfully installed HTML/OS on hundreds of server configurations and they
provide outstanding support, including walking the user through installation.
