Managers will be able to manage their teams by viewing and authorising changes to the employee’s records, as well as administering areas such as holiday, absence and training requests.

Tony Strike, director of HR at the University of Southampton, said: “Our aim is to help improve processes and reduce administration so HR staff can concentrate on recruiting and retaining the best staff and students to make sure we are the university of choice.”
