Ciphr Net
The role of HR is changing and diversifying on an almost daily
basis. The only way you can hope to keep up with growing demands
on HR time is to pass on some of the work that can effectively
be done in other, more time-efficient, ways. Ciphr Net, when
teamed with Ciphr People, lets you do just that.
Ciphr Net helps to ease some of the administrative burden in HR
by enabling employees to perform some update functions for
themselves. This includes amending all kinds of straightforward
personal details, such as notifying change of address or
emergency contact, adding qualifications or requesting leave of
absence.
Self Service HR - Line Management Portal
Line Management can also access the system to input information,
employee development needs for example, or optionally view
published reports such as department absence analysis. The
process of authorising employee leave or conducting performance
reviews can be carried out quickly, easily and without the need
for a continuous flow of paper based information, and salary
modelling and proposals can be carried out ready for update into
Ciphr People.

Of course, careful checking and security procedures are built
into the heart of Ciphr Net to ensure privacy and accuracy are
never jeopardised. For instance, you can specify particular
information categories, such as absence requests, that must be
validated by authorised staff before they are accepted by the
system and put into action.
Access privileges can be made at the set-up stage, page by page,
so that you can individually determine the access level each
employee has. For example, some may have view-only access to a
particular page, while others are also able to update
information.
The system also includes automated e-mail notification for
management. Requests that require senior approval can be
directed through for verification before they are accepted onto
the system and the results automatically fed back via e-mail to
the employee.

"We're already realising many benefits of the new system, not least of a greater level of visibility and reporting information.
It's proving invaluable to our managers with the people management aspects of their role"
- Helen Archibald, HR Director
