Ascentis: Deploy HRIS software to simplify sharing mission-critical data with your teams

Benefits

Benefits might just be the most important consideration when it comes to workplace satisfaction — Studies show that as many as 80% of employees value a strong benefits package even more than a higher rate of pay. With that in mind, it is surprising how many employers still make benefits enrollment a daunting task for their workers. 

Ascentis provides employees with a guided benefits enrollment process that is simple, straightforward and easy to complete. You can provide links to detailed plan information directly from the benefits portion of Ascentis. Our HR management software allows employers to provide direct links to detailed plan information right from the employee’s benefit summary. That gives employees direct access to vital information and helps them better understand their benefits options. A more knowledgeable workforce is a more empowered and engaged workforce, which benefits your productivity and your bottom line. 

Ascentis also allows easy customization so you can compare different benefits options to ensure your employees are making the best and most informed decisions for their unique situation. Ascentis connects to any benefits carrier your organization chooses to work with electronically, eliminating any concerns about compatibility.  

Compliance

Careful management of compliance with local, state, and federal employment regulations is crucial to any organization’s financial and reputational interests. Between properly classifying employees and contractors, following union rules, and abiding by the complex requirements of national laws like the FLSA and FMLA, compliance can feel like a full-time job. It is a job that’s worth the effort, though – 87% of executives say the loss of reputation that can come with non-compliance is the biggest strategic concern their companies face.  

At Ascentis, we continuously monitor any new or updated regulations that might impact human resources operations. Our HRIS software includes built in standard HR compliance reports that help your team track important concerns such as OSHA compliance. We also offer guided processes to gather everything you need to complete EEO reporting. Regulations related to equal employment, data privacy, and workplace safety are constantly evolving. Ascentis provides an automated, continuously updated solution that keeps you up to speed with the latest changes.    

Note: While Ascentis HRIS tools help ensure compliance with existing regulations, we should not be used as a substitute for expert legal and regulatory advice. 

Mobile

With more and more employees working remotely or at off-site locations, the demand for mobile accessibility has never been higher. Allowing workers to access important HR functions related to scheduling, reporting, and internal communications from a cell phone or mobile device not only saves your business time and money, it also empowers your employees and increases their engagement.

Your employees and managers can use the free, easy-to-use Ascentis mobile app on their smart phone or tablet for a complete online HR experience that reduces your use of shared computers – a key consideration in the COVID-19 era. Both employees and managers have access to the entire suite of Ascentis modules directly in our mobile app. Push notifications and critical communications can be accessed within a moments’ notice. View and edit personal employee information, view and request time off, and find a coworker within the company directly from an Android, iPhone, or other mobile device.

Custom Data

Do you track important employee data like rates of pay, daily schedules, and personally identifiable information on pieces of paper or spreadsheets? Do you have important HR information spread across multiple departments or software, making it feel like a scavenger hunt any time you need to access a specific information?

The Ascentis HRIS platform provides your HR team with one centralized, customizable site for all of that vital employee information. Making all of your data accessible from a single entry point saves time that would otherwise be used tracking down materials from various departments.

Employee data is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Unlike some HR systems that lock you into a specific range of categories, Ascentis understands that each business has its own unique processes and approaches. That’s why our HRIS allows you to set up custom tabs to keep track of the information that matters most to your organization. You can track anything from safety certifications to necessary computer hardware to uniform sizes, all organized and displayed in a way that makes the most sense for your operations. Integrating these pieces of data into your HR management systems allows you to report on custom data and tie approvals to specific information that is important to your company.
