Employee self-service and HR workspace
Employee self-service Home
Autessa Homebase is an employee self-service portal: everyone starts on Home, which greets them with what their role does, What do you want to do? shortcuts, a getting-started checklist, and cards for their time-off balance, reviews to write, trainings, policies to confirm, approvals waiting and more. Each card shows only what that person may see, and counts, never money.
- One Home for every role: employee, manager, HR, executive
- What do you want to do? shortcuts for each role
- A getting-started checklist that ticks itself off
- Phone-friendly, from the cards to requesting time off
The problem
HR questions that should not need HR
How many days off do I have? What do I need to do this week? Where is the handbook? When employees cannot answer these themselves, HR spends its day in the inbox. Homebase puts the answers on one page built around each person.
How it works
How employee self-service Home works in Homebase
Start here
A greeting that explains what your role does, and shortcut cards like Request time off, Write my reviews, Update my goals or Thank someone.
Getting started
A checklist for your role, such as completing your profile, linking your calendar, setting your first goal and confirming policies, that ticks off as you do them.
Your cards
Apps, announcements, my onboarding, my time off, holidays, who’s out, reviews to write, my goals, the praise wall, learning, benefits, my requests, policies to confirm and knowledge search.
Role extras
Managers also see approvals and their team; HR and executives see headcount, onboarding in progress, promotions and their landing dashboard.
Options and settings
Every option, in plain words
