Empowering Workplaces: How AI Chatbots and Mobile Apps Are Redefining Employee Self-Service

By Deborah Eke

The workplace is evolving rapidly with technology leading the charge. It’s driving human resource management processes and interactions, allowing for enhanced employee engagement and efficiency.  

At the core of this dynamics is Employee Self Service (ESS), a concept that decentralises the administration and coordination of HR and associated processes. This has significantly improved productivity, cutting out drudgery while giving employees sufficient access and control over their own data as well as processes concerning them. 

These days, as expected, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Mobile versions of applications improves accessibility and energises the move of Self Service.

The impact of Self Service in HR management is seen in the following: 

  1. Streamlined Information Access: Complex data is at employees’ fingertips, reducing reliance on HR personnel. 
  2. Increased Efficiency: Automated workflows and seamless issue resolution save time and boost productivity. 

The power of self-service extends to mobile apps, putting HR functionalities at employees’ fingertips as in: 

  • 24/7 Accessibility: Employees can resolve queries and access information anytime, anywhere. 
  • Leave Management: users can request and approve leave requests on-the-go 
  • Payroll Access: pay slips, tax, pension information can be viewed securely 
  • Performance Tracking: Goals and performance indicators can be tracked and feedback given real-time 
  • Learning Management: learning resources are accessible anytime, anywhere. 

AI Chatbots lead the way, they give virtual personalised assistance to employees in complaint management, triaging information, and if needed, fast-tracking escalations. These concepts therefore facilitate the full expression of the impact of HR technology in organisations.

An all-in-one software like HumanManager is leading this transformation in HR technology and enriching employee experience. As HR management continues to evolve, innovative technology like AI and mobile solutions will continue to be critical for fully engaged and dynamic workforce.

By Olakunle Yusuff

As we approach the end of the year, it is common practice for individuals and organisations to reflect on the journey so far and set their sights on the opportunities ahead. Organisations usually plan strategies that maximise employee potential and align individual contributions with broader goals, while individuals redefine their goals and position themselves as indispensable assets in their workplace. 

Whether you’re an employer or an employee, 2025 presents a fresh canvas to stand out and make a lasting impact. To do this, you must focus on the following:

  1. Focus on Impact

5. Cultivate a Personal Brand 

This is one that many do or have not given a thought. A strong professional identity sets you apart. Build an online presence on LinkedIn or industry-specific platforms. Join industry-specific groups, participate in discussions, ask relevant questions and share thought leadership content, such as articles, tips, or case studies. 

6. Foster Strong Relationships 

Network within and outside your organisation. The easiest way to start this is by seeking and offering mentorship to others. Attending virtual and in-person industry and social events to expand your connections to get in the mix of what’s going on. If you can afford it, join a social club; while it is good for business, it also might be good for your well-being. 

7. Prioritize Wellness  

Incorporate wellness practices to stay productive and maintain mental health. Pay attention to what you eat and drink, set boundaries for work hours, participate in wellness programs and adopt mindfulness techniques. Now is the time to have your physician on the speed dial, especially if you are over 40. 

8. Be Proactive and Innovative 

Take the initiative to solve problems and improve processes. regularly suggest ideas for efficiency or innovation. Stay informed about trends and propose how they can benefit your team. 

9. Develop Leadership Skills 

Employers value employees who can lead projects and inspire teams. Again, volunteer for leadership opportunities in projects. Take courses in conflict resolution, team management, and strategic thinking. These are soft skills that you would find helpful even outside of the workplace. 

By focusing on these areas, you will thrive in your role and position yourself as an asset in a rapidly evolving workplace. Which of these strategies would you like to explore? You do not have to do all the above at once; it is a process that you should enjoy as you strive to be and do better in 2025.
