The Benefits of Employee Self Service

In addition to being a boring, repetitive administrative task, data entry can also be extremely time consuming and leaves room for inaccurate information to be entered and errors to be made. Because of these reasons, it has become clear to many HR departments that switching over to a self-service system makes sense.

Long time Sage Abra and Dresser & Associates customer, GreenbergFarrow was an early adopter of this process. It has improved their efficiency and cut costs along the way. In the November edition of HR Magazine, Rita Harris, SPHR, director of HR for GreenbergFarrow discussed the impact that Abra Employee Self Service has had on the company. Rita is a very active member of the SHRM-Atlanta Chapter and strong user of the Abra HRIS solution. Dresser & Associates is excited for her reorganization by SHRM as a leader in her field.

In the Knowledge Center you will find anything and everything having to do with HR, Payroll, Recruiting, Taxes, State and Federal information, reports, forms, calculators, performance management, and much more. We have created this site as a tool for our customers and all HR and Payroll professionals, to use as their one stop shop for information.

The site is designed for ease of use and so you can quickly find the information you are looking for. We will constantly be adding new information and resources to this site, and encourage you to provide us feedback and recommend any resources that we may have missed.

Keep an eye out for any articles, websites, or calculators that you would like to see added and if we add them we will reward you with a $5 gift card to Dunkin Donuts as a thanks.

Coming Soon! Sage Abra HR Module Spotlights!!

In the coming weeks Dresser & Associates will sponsor a series of Sage Abra HRMS webinars spotlighting specific modules. Each webinar will be led by one of our senior consultants along with one of our very own Sage Abra customers. Several of our customers have agreed to take part in these sessions in order to give others a real look into how the system works for them and to share their experience within that particular module. Also, coinciding with these webinars I will be posting a series of blogs highlighting the modules as they go.

I highly recommend taking part in this series of webinars. Where else are you going to hear about the product straight from the horse’s mouth (pardon the expression)? If you are already an Sage Abra customer and you want to learn more about your product or how others are using it, if you are an Abra customer seeking other modules that may benefit you and your company or if you are not an Abra customer yet, but would like to gain some insight on the product and get some questions answered by Dresser and other users, these webinars are for you.

We will also have a webinar that will focus on Halogen’s Performance and Talent Management Software. This session will be taught by Jim Carty of Halogen Software and one of our joint customers, will be sharing his experiences within his use of both Abra and Halogen’s software together.

You can check out our website for more information on the webinars and to see a schedule of events. Register right away to reserve your spot!
