Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR
Our HR department houses and uses Ascentis HR every day. In a way, this is used across the board in our company due to the use of ESS (Employee Self Service) which links employee info to Ascentis HR. Allows us to track all employee personal information, job history, payment history, benefit enrollments, notes, attachments, acknowledgments, employee relations documents, etc. The capabilities of Ascentis HR are great!
- Employee Self Service is a great tool to post and receive communication, updates, document links, etc. out to employees. It also connects directly to the HRIS system keep information all in one place.
- Open Enrollment feature and carrier connect; allows employees to enroll in their benefits creating a paperless process. Once the enrollment sections are approved by the Ascentis Administrators (HR) the information rolls over directly to the carriers with the carrier connect process. It's absolutely seamless and efficient.
- The opportunities for other Modules that connect to the HRIS - recruiting/onboarding, payroll, and Timekeeper - definitely a plus!
- Email capabilities directly from ESS - whether this is messages, memos, forms, documentation - the ability to keep this information all in the system and track any communication would be helpful as opposed to having to upload everything.
- Animation on ESS widgets. Rotating pictures, information, and videos! Can add an enhanced view for companies.
- HRIS - being able to upload multiple documents from drives/files to the HRIS all at once. Currently, you can only do 1 item at a time.
- It has helped with our HR "People" efficiencies, benefits "environment" and emergency contact tracking for our business continuity plan.
I was not involved in this process.
When we launched our first open enrollment there were a lot of plan updates and documents we needed to get into the system and make available for employees. While we accessed several guides to help walk us through this, support was there (within minutes of when we called) to help answer our questions and get us up in running!
