ABB employees will gain access, through a Web browser, to their payroll data (pay slips), work time, and holidays. During the second phase of the project, scheduled for the first quarter of 2008, the functions of MSS (Manager Self-Service) will be implemented. Thanks to them managers will obtain a useful tool to plan, approve, control and settle their subordinates’ holidays.
’ABB is a respected employer both in Poland and abroad, that is why we have decided to develop those functions of the system that support the HR area and will increase the employees’ comfort. Thanks to ESS we eliminate the necessity to involve HR specialists into matters that may be best and quickest arranged by the employees themselves’, says Magdalena Bielecka, Personnel Administration and Payroll Team Manager at ABB Sp. z o.o.
’Employee self-service is in innovative organizations a natural and promising development direction for the systems supporting human resources management. More and more of our clients appreciate this and they commission BCC the preparation of ESS and MSS solutions in their SAP systems. The time and energy that HR specialists devoted to handling repetitive requests may now be focused on more ambitious objectives, for example supporting employees’ long-term development’, adds Marcin Kraska, project manager for BCC.
