Lotus Workforce Management

Employee Self-Service
IBM® Lotus® Workforce Management software's Employee Self Service (ESS) capability provides a centralized online resource for employees to manage their own career and life events and modify personal data. By giving employees selected access to applications traditionally available only to HR, ESS can minimize the need for HR and manager assistance, resulting in lower administrative costs, increased productivity and improved operational efficiencies. In addition, ESS provides employees with easy, 24 x7 access to real-time corporate information, policies and procedures, helping to improve corporate-wide communication and, ultimately, employee loyalty and job satisfaction.

Manager Self-Service
IBM Lotus Workforce Management software's Manager Self Service (MSS) capability provides managers with the tools they need to make informed decisions, maximize employee productivity and reduce costs. With MSS, managers can view and update information about their employees, initiate and manage employee career transactions all online and in real time. And, by streamlining managerial processes, this solution enables managers to spend more time directing staff toward meeting company goals, increasing revenue and bringing value to the organization. IBM Lotus Workforce Management software provides all of these capabilities and more in a flexible, robust platform that uses a service-oriented architecture (SOA) so you can get the most out of your current and future investments.
