Purpose

The ESS - Follow-Up Activities for a New Hire workflow represents the following process:

After a new employee has been hired, a series of administrative and technical steps must be taken before work commences so that he or she is integrated in the company’s organizational structure and infrastructure.

Implementing Employee Self-Service (ESS) enables you to include your new employees directly in this process because they can then maintain some of their HR data themselves. The task of entering HR data for new hires is, therefore, shared between the HR Department and the new employees themselves.

Process Flow

The following activities and responsibilities, for example, are possible:

The system administration department at your enterprise creates an ESS user for the new hire. This provides the employee with the system authorizations required for using the services included in ESS.

At the same time, the new employee is required to supplement his or her HR data in the New Hire Data in the Internet service. Once the employee has entered his or her missing HR data, the appropriate personnel administrator checks that the data entered by the employee is both complete and plausible.

Advantages, Improvements, Simplifications

The ESS - Follow-Up Activities for a New Hire workflow facilitates efficient company procedures. It supports and accelerates the process described above in accordance with an enterprise’s specific requirements by linking the necessary steps, and sending them automatically to the agent responsible.

It ensures that an ESS user is assigned to each new hire, and that the employee has the system authorizations required for supplementing his or her own HR data immediately after the hiring has taken place. As a result, the employee assumes responsibility for his or her own data just as soon as hiring takes place, and relieves the HR Department of the burden of expensive, time-consuming activities.

The appropriate personnel administrator is responsible for ensuring that data is correct.
