What HR can deliver with ASM

HR teams are expected to deliver quick, consistent support while managing sensitive data and rising demand across the employee lifecycle. ASM replaces the inboxes, spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one governed platform.

HR service request management

Give employees and managers a clear, structured way to request HR support through a self-service portal, without email ping-pong.

  • An HR service catalog that standardizes requests and captures the right information first time
  • Auto-routing to the right specialist by skill set, location, department or request type
  • Quick solution templates for repeatable, high-volume requests: log, fulfill, close
  • Automation that removes manual steps, reduces errors and speeds up delivery

Joiner-Mover-Leaver: onboarding and offboarding

Coordinate HR activities and approvals while integrating with IT and other teams, so nothing gets missed at any stage of the employee lifecycle.

  • New starter setup, right-to-work checks and induction planning
  • Role and contract changes: promotions, transfers, hours changes, contract variations
  • Leaver processing: exit interviews, asset return coordination, access removal via IT integration

HR knowledge and policy management

Reduce repeat queries with an integrated knowledge base: searchable policies and guidance, published to the right audiences, with versioning and controlled updates for governance.

Mobile-ready HR service delivery

HR managers and specialists can update and check assigned work away from their desks, supporting timely responses and approvals.

Contract management support

Track contract workers and related obligations, keeping HR teams organized and audit-ready.

Metrics and reporting HR can act on

Dashboards and reports show workload, volumes, bottlenecks and team utilization: work volume and trend reporting, backlog visibility, case and request cycle times, and resource capacity insights for continual improvement.

Security first

Security and partitioning for confidential HR data

ASM secures HR case data separately from other ESM functions by combining data partitioning with role-based access control.

A dedicated HR partition

HR tickets, queues, forms, attachments and reporting are managed in a dedicated HR partition through ASM's partitioning, logically segregated from IT, Facilities and other service domains.

Role-based access control

Only users assigned HR roles can view or action HR cases. Permissions can be restricted further by business rules, and sensitive fields can be hidden or made read-only for non-HR users, with full auditability and governance.

"Alemba Service Manager helped us to partition our services across IT, HR and Finance. Some of the data we hold in HR around our staff and customers is sensitive, so we needed to be able to put some security on the information held in that partition. Alemba Service Manager could certainly help us do that!"

What HR system integration unlocks

  • Joiner automation: a new starter in HR auto-raises the bundled ASM requests (laptop, accounts, access, building pass, payroll forms) with the right approvals and SLAs, for Day 1 readiness
  • Mover automation: role, location or manager changes trigger workflows for access changes, equipment moves and license updates
  • Leaver automation: HR termination dates trigger offboarding workflows (disable accounts, collect assets, revoke access) with a full audit trail
  • Single source of truth: synced employee, department and manager data keeps routing and approvals accurate
  • Cleaner self-service: the employee portal and catalog tailor themselves using HR attributes such as business unit, location and role
  • Governance and reporting: end-to-end visibility of HR-triggered work, with audit evidence, and less manual re-keying

HR service management FAQs

What is HR service management?

HR service management applies service management principles such as structured requests, workflows, self-service and reporting to HR, so employee requests, onboarding and cases are handled consistently, quickly and with a full audit trail. It is one part of Enterprise Service Management (ESM).

What is a Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) process?

A Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) process manages the HR and IT activities triggered when an employee joins, changes role, or leaves. Alemba Service Manager coordinates the tasks, approvals and integrations for each stage so accounts, equipment, access and payroll actions are completed on time and nothing is missed.

How does Alemba keep HR case data confidential?

Alemba Service Manager combines data partitioning with role-based access control. HR records sit in a dedicated HR partition, segregated from IT and other service domains, and only users with HR roles can view or action HR cases. Sensitive fields can be hidden or read-only for non-HR users, with full auditability.

Which HR systems does Alemba Service Manager integrate with?

ASM integrates with HR platforms including Workday, MHR iTrent, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources and Sage HR, so employee data flows automatically into HR workflows and JML automation.

What types of HR cases can Alemba manage?

ASM supports HR case management across the employee lifecycle: onboarding and offboarding, absence and family leave, grievances, disciplinaries and investigations, performance processes, payroll and benefits queries, flexible working, reasonable adjustments, whistleblowing with restricted handling, and health and wellbeing requests.

Do HR teams need developers to configure workflows in ASM?

No. Alemba Service Manager uses no-code, graphical configuration so HR process owners can build and adapt forms, approvals, SLAs and workflows themselves, without developer dependency.
