Why is ESS Portal Important? 

In recent times more and more employees are moving towards hybrid working. Covid has changed the way employees work and employers are allowing flexibility in working models. Although the work can be managed and monitored, the HR department should be easily accessible. This is where the Employee Self Service portal will be helpful. 

Hence, with the ESS portal, employees can easily place leave requests, documents or certificates requests, easily check in from customer’s locations, and manage workflow. The availability of ESS portals on mobile or browsers gives the flexibility to employees.
