Every ticket, task and follow up on record

The HR inbox problem

A shared HR inbox is not an HR service desk.

Most HR teams run on email. Requests arrive from every direction, ownership is unclear, follow ups depend on someone remembering, and there's no way to show how many requests the team actually handled or how quickly.

HR ServiceDesk replaces that with proper HR service desk software inside workit. Employees lodge tickets, HR triages and assigns, workflows drive each issue to resolution, and the HR service desk records every action for audit and reporting.

Everything inside the module

Lodge, triage, assign, respond, report.

HR service desk software with the workflows, task assignment, audit trail and reporting Australian HR teams need - built into the HRIS you already use.

Employee ticket lodgement

Staff lodge HR related tickets from the self-service portal on any device - pay queries, leave questions, entitlements, workplace concerns - with category, detail and attachments captured up front by the HR service desk software.

Review and triage

Every ticket lands in one HR service desk queue. HR reviews, categorises, sets priority and routes each issue to the right owner instead of sorting a shared inbox by hand.

Configurable workflows

Build a workflow per ticket type so HR service desk software moves each issue through lodged, triaged, in progress, awaiting employee and resolved - with the checks and approvals your business requires.

Task allocation and assignment

Allocate and assign tasks against any ticket to HR, payroll, IT or a manager, each with an owner and due date, so accountability for HR service desk work is explicit.

Responses on the record

HR responds to the employee from inside the ticket. Questions, clarifications and follow ups stay on the HR service desk record rather than scattered across email.

Full audit trail

Lodgement, triage decisions, reassignment, task completion, responses and follow ups are all timestamped - a complete HR service desk audit trail for every issue.

Permissions for sensitive matters

Control who can see and action each ticket type so confidential HR service desk matters reach only the nominated people, not the whole HR team.

Alerts and follow ups

Automatic notifications on assignment, updates and overdue tasks keep HR service desk tickets moving and stop follow ups from being forgotten.

HR service desk reporting

Report on ticket volumes, categories, response and resolution times, and workload by assignee across teams, sites and entities - proof of service levels and a map of recurring issues.

How the HR service desk works

One path for every HR request.

  1. 01

    Employee lodges a ticket

    From the self-service portal, with the category and detail your HR service desk needs captured up front.

  2. 02

    HR reviews and triages

    Category, priority and owner are set in the HR service desk queue, following your triage rules.

  3. 03

    Workflows and tasks run

    The ticket follows its workflow while allocated tasks sit with named owners and due dates.

  4. 04

    Respond, close and report

    HR responds on the record, closes the ticket with an outcome, and reports on volumes and response times.

Connected by design

Tickets on the same record as everything else.

Because the HR service desk lives inside workit, every ticket sits next to the employee's contract, leave, policies, compliance evidence and performance history - so the HR service desk team answers with full context, first time.

  • Employee ticket lodgement from any device
  • Review, triage and priority setting
  • Workflows per HR ticket type
  • Task allocation and assignment
  • Full audit trail of issues and follow ups
