Prevent HR burnout

Case management
At the core of AdviserPlus’s empower® technology is a powerful, purpose-built employee relations (ER) case management solution, crafted to streamline and elevate the work of ER advisers and their support teams.
With empower®, organisations can configure case management to reflect their own unique policies and processes, ensuring every step follows a clear, sequential structure and that crucial data is always captured. This efficient framework enables ER advisers to handle more cases without compromising quality, allowing them to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional advice.

Over a 12-month period, line managers successfully managed 63% of employee relations cases without HR intervention. 70% of short-term sickness cases are now self-served with automated tasks and alerts, ensuring a proactive approach to sickness absence management, improving efficiency and reducing the cost of sickness management.
Frequently asked questions
empower® is configurable and handles this with ease:
- We can either configure different processes relating to the same policy, or branch a process to handle more subtle nuances. We can also ensure that a manager navigates the right process and views the appropriate content aligned to the employee case subject.
- We can host different views of the content and configuration in different brands, and ensure that users view the solution in the appropriate brand for them.
We have designed empower® to support an HR transformation journey and we recognise that each organisation starts in a different place in terms of its confidence in giving managers control of cases. We fully expect the configuration of the service will evolve as your:
- HR strategy changes;
- HR service operating model evolves; and
- Line managers show greater confidence and capability in managing people matters independently of HR.
We work in partnership with you to make sure we evolve the configuration of the system over time to support these aims. Such change is quick and easy to achieve.
Every organisation that we work with is different, but in our experience the empower® solution may be mobilised and embedded within an organisation’s ways of working within 3-5 months. Factors that impact the pace of implementation include:
- Your readiness and resourcing for the project;
- Number of in-scope policies, policy variants and different brands;
- Number of launch phases.
