eESS (electronic Employee Support System)

eESS (Electronic Employee Support System) is a new system being developed for NHS Scotland and will go live in NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde on Friday 23rd November 2018 (please refer to the eESS Go-Live Information page).

eESS is a single, national NHS Scotland approach to HR systems that is intended to enable a high quality, standardised HR function. 

The new system will hold an employee record for all employees of NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde.  This system will interface with Payroll and SSTS (Scottish Standard Time System) to provide real time workforce information and reports.  Key features of the system will include:

• Employee Self Service - Employees can view their employment record, make changes to personal data e.g. address and request training.
• Manager Self Service - Managers can approve requests and, via the system, put changes such as change of hours through to payroll. Managers will also be able to use manager self service for improved workforce record keeping and reporting.
• Core HR
• Employee Relations
• Learning Management System
