Managing HR data is a particularly tricky security challenge for many organizations. They have a legal responsibility to secure the confidential employee information, while on the other hand, the business’ functioning can be affected if the necessary data in not available to those who need it. Robust HR management software that controls access to data using roles can help a lot in this.
You can create a role for every employee in this application and assign permissions to determine what they can see or do in it. You can also restrict access; for example, managers can view the records of employees that report to them, whereas an employee can only view his/her own information. This approach not only gives you control over who can access what data, but also makes setting up security in your application significantly simpler.
HR professionals always have a lot to do. It is difficult for one person to manage all the tasks and notifications, and roles can be a big aid in dividing the load. The application allows you to set an HR team role and relate it to a shared mailbox. By this, you can ensure that key HR activities don’t get delayed because one employee is away, or busy with other tasks.
In many organizations, the HR manager or project manager is usually the approver of requests such as time off. However, sometimes they allow a team leader to approve a time off request. In such situations, the application enables you to create a modified self-service role that allows them to approve a time off request, but not to view the sensitive information.
HR management software with role-based security is one of the best solutions to keep your HR data safe.
