A Workflow engine is a piece of software that controls the
process by which documents are routed for electronic approval
and decision making within an organisation can be set. Once
configured, the workflow engine automatically moves the
document from station to station as it is processed. This
ensures that your business processes are streamlined and
that documents are always properly routed for approvals,
without additional intervention and delays.
How the
HRPlus Anywhere Work Flow Engine Works
The HRplus
Anywhere workflow engine is fully integrated with both the
organisation (it already knows the reporting relationships
in the organisation chart) and its business processes, and
provides the foundation for process automation. Employees
are automatically supplied with the information, data and
documents that they require to support effective business
decisions on a timely basis. The workflow automatically
identifies and monitors processing exceptions, (e.g. Jane
Doe, who has to approve leave for others, may herself be
on vacation) and addresses these automatically based on
rules defined by the organisation. This improves processing
throughput while decreasing processing costs. Processing
deadlines are imposed and tracked to avoid lengthy delays
and user-defined escalation procedures can be implemented.
Everyone involved in a process has a detailed overview of
ongoing and completed processes.
Inbox
The workflow
system provides a user-friendly in-box for the knowledge
worker (it is similar to your e-mail in-box.) The in-box
receives and groups all work-items, messages, and documents
addressed to you by type. Folder systems can be set up within
the in-box to manage documents, reschedule work items, and
schedule mail transmissions.
Self Service
The basic concept
behind this application is that of self service. It enables
employees throughout the organisation to manage and maintain
their own data without compromising security or data integrity
of the system. Supervisors and Managers are able to perform
administrative tasks in a decentralised environment. As
such much of the routine data entry and related customer
service activities that may be performed in a company's
Human Resources, Payroll, Benefits, and Stores departments
is performed at source and approved by the relevant department
before it is actually updated. Many resources are therefore
freer to be assigned to more mission critical activities.
This also reduces bottlenecks and ensures that updating
of employees' personal information is done in a timely fashion.
Core features
of this application are:
An Employee
Self Serve (ESS)
- empowers
employees to maintain their own information and to view
their information any time, from any desktop A Manager/Supervisor
Self Serve (MSS)
- Streamlines
many routine human resource-related functions Employees
can access the application twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week (24/7), from the office, home, or on the road,
in other words from anywhere.
INTEGRATED
INTRANET Work Manager
The Work Manager
is used to facilitate a comprehensive organisation-wide
Performance Management System that is based on the concept
of Management by Objectives. In such and organisation, managers
are able to use the Work Manager to set goals and tasks
for themselves and their subordinates. Other employees are
able to add their personal goals and individual tasks.
Knowledge
Base
The system
provides for End-User development of a database that could
be used to store and query information on the organisation's
best practices, its archive of manuals and handbooks. Searches
of the knowledge base can be initiated from within the In
Box.
Bulletin
Board
The built in
Bulletin Board allows authorised users to publish information
pertinent to the entire organisation or for specific interest
groups from within the environment of the Universal Desktop.
Discussion Forum Employees within the organisation may log
on to participate in ongoing discussions or initiate discussion
topics of their own. This forum is useful for gathering
feedback and comments on situations within an organisation.
Scheduler Employees can enter dates for meetings "on the
fly" and receive reminders of previously scheduled meetings.
The users who may share views of the built in calendar are
defined by an organisation's business rule. For example,
both a manager and secretary may update and view the manager's
schedule. The Scheduler automatically enters deadlines and
dates for tasks entered into the Work Manager. The Scheduler
can also be used for scheduling use of meeting rooms and
equipment. Other information about upcoming events and commitments
may be entered directly into the calendar.
In/Out
Board
This feature
is a convenient way of knowing when employees are in and
out of the office, or who is online and working from home.
An employee answering the telephone can determine the availability
of the individual requested by logging onto the In/Out Board
from the PC on his/her desk. The In/Out Board replaces the
chalk board currently used by many organisations for this
purpose and supports the Internet era mobile workforce.
Messages
The Universal
Desktop becomes the most convenient medium by which others
can be notified of messages received while they were out.
In keeping with the more paperless environment, the Messages
feature replaces traditional "while you were out" notes
and increases the probability of the addressee actually
receiving an important message.
Hyperlinking
HTML
Hyperlinking
is used in all modules to refer users to other areas of
information and resources (access to online training programs
as well as data from service providers web sites.)
