Empower your workforce with HR case management software
empower® helps managers confidently manage employee concerns without HR intervention. That means faster ER case resolutions, better employee experiences and more time for HR to focus on strategy.
Empowering managers: The key to employee engagement
Managers face people issues every day, but not all feel equipped to handle them. When they rely heavily on HR for routine matters, it slows down progress and piles more on HR teams. With empower® managers get the right tools to resolve common employee issues quickly, fairly and with confidence. This means fewer escalations to HR, more consistent outcomes, and more time for your HR team to focus on strategic priorities.
And when situations are more complex, our employee relations experts and HR Advice Line are always there to support your managers.

Managers are on the front lines of people issues daily, but often lack the tools to handle them effectively. When HR is burdened with routine queries, it slows progress and increases workload. By empowering managers with the right tools, such as empower® case management software and the ability to handle issues fairly and confidently, they feel more equipped and capable in their roles. This increased competence and autonomy can directly lead to higher job satisfaction and engagement among managers.
When managers are empowered to resolve common employee issues quickly, fairly and with confidence, employees experience more consistent and efficient handling of their concerns. A swift and fair resolution of issues prevents frustration and demonstrates that their concerns are taken seriously, which improves employee engagement.
Our employee relations experts and HR Advice Line are also available to support your managers when complex situations arise. Empowering your managers unlocks significant value from HR.
