eESS Manager Self Service

Course Overview

eESS (electronic Employee Support System) is the new national workforce system coming soon to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Managers will be able to access their employee’s data online and get up to date information, as well as complete transactions which will then feed straight through to Payroll.

This training session will enable you to utilise the part of the system called Manager Self Service. Through Manager Self Service you will be able to electronically complete transactions and access real time reports. You will be able to book your employee on to training courses directly and view their training log.

e-Learning

Any manager who did not get an opportunity to attend face to face manager self-service training can undertake the eEES Manager LearnPro module. The module provides a quick overview of Manager Self Service and links to the Standard Operating Procedures. Log on to LearnPro and search for “eEES” under the Specialist Subjects tab.

In addition, we would encourage managers and their staff to visit the national eESS website. The website contains step-by-step user guides and short e-learning videos for all transactions you will complete on eESS.
