Empowering Employees Through Self-Service: The isolved Advantage

Today’s employees expect fast, intuitive, and mobile-friendly access to their work-related information. They want transparency, control, and the ability to manage tasks without always going through HR. With isolved, organizations can meet these expectations and more through a robust employee self-service (ESS) system that improves both efficiency and satisfaction.

What is Employee Self-Service?

Employee self-service refers to a set of tools that allow workers to access and manage their own HR-related information. Instead of calling HR for a pay stub or sending an email to check PTO balances, employees can simply log in to a secure portal and handle these tasks themselves.

isolved takes this concept further by integrating ESS into every aspect of its Human Capital Management (HCM) platform, giving employees more autonomy while lightening the administrative load for HR departments.

Key Features of isolved Self-Service

1. Access to Pay and Tax Information
   Employees can view their pay history, download pay stubs, and access W-2 and 1099 forms without requesting them from HR. This not only improves transparency but also reduces inquiries and manual work.
2. Time-Off Requests and PTO Tracking
   With just a few clicks, employees can request vacation, sick leave, or other time off. The system automatically updates balances and notifies managers for approval.
3. Benefits Enrollment and Management
   During open enrollment or life events, employees can review plan options, compare benefits, and make changes directly through the portal. isolved even supports decision-making tools that help employees choose the best plan for their needs.
4. Update Personal Information
   Address change? New phone number? isolved makes it easy for employees to update their personal information without paperwork, keeping records accurate in real time.
5. Mobile Access Anytime, Anywhere
   Whether they’re in the office or on the go, employees can log in to isolved via mobile app or browser. The responsive design ensures a seamless experience on any device.

HR Benefits of Self-Service

While employees enjoy the convenience of self-service, HR teams benefit from the time savings and increased data accuracy that come with it. isolved’s ESS reduces the back-and-forth communication that often slows down HR departments.

• Fewer Administrative Requests
  By enabling employees to handle routine tasks themselves, HR can focus on strategic initiatives like recruitment, culture-building, and performance management.
• Improved Data Integrity
  When employees manage their own data, there’s less chance of outdated or incorrect information lingering in the system.
• Streamlined Onboarding
  New hires can complete forms, upload documents, and start training through the same self-service platform—before their first day on the job.

Security and Customization

isolved places a strong emphasis on security. Employee data is encrypted and access can be role-restricted. Admins can control what employees see and do based on position, department, or other rules.

• Audit Trails: Every action is logged and traceable.
• Permissions: Customize who can view or edit each section.

Integration Across the Employee Lifecycle

Unlike standalone ESS tools, isolved integrates employee self-service across payroll, time tracking, benefits, learning, and performance. Employees don’t need multiple logins or platforms—they get one central hub for everything work-related.

A Better Experience for Everyone

Self-service doesn’t just benefit employees—it’s also a brand enhancer. When your team has 24/7 access to important information, they feel empowered and respected. This modern experience contributes to higher engagement, lower turnover, and a stronger organizational culture.

With isolved’s employee self-service capabilities, you can deliver a faster, more convenient, and more personalized experience that benefits the entire organization.
