HR Case Management

Intuitive, HR-owned case management built for efficient HR Service Delivery

Request Demo

the ultimate guide to hr case management

 

What is HR Case Management?

Often referred to as an HR Helpdesk, HR Case Management helps HR teams and HR Service Centers efficiently manage employee inquiries and requests. It improves HR Service Delivery through workflow automation, enhanced case tracking and reporting, and personalized dashboards that provide greater visibility into HR operations.

HR Home Console

The HR Home Console or Dashboard provides the HR team with full visibility on their workload. Case data is segregated based on the HR profile and/ or Case lifecycle stage, ensuring employee data security is fully maintained. HR team members and team leaders can monitor Service Level Agreements, Priorities and Urgency of employee questions and take immediate action.

Case Creation

When an employee contacts HR with a question, the HR team member will either update an existing case or create a new case. The Dovetail Case creation screen will show the HR team member if an existing case exists automatically. The HR team member will also have instant knowledge results, and full visibility of the employee's HCM core data.

"Dovetail is built by people who understand HR and the product has been beautifully designed with that understanding. The software is customizable to allow for the famous HR "it depends" situations. Ultimately, Dovetail’s system has helped us achieve our Employee Relations objectives."

Case Tracking & Escalation

Dovetail HR enables HR teams to monitor, track, and resolve cases efficiently throughout the case lifecycle. Cases can be escalated manually or through automated workflows, while employees and HR teams stay informed through automatically generated emails and notifications.

Emails & Notes

Collaboration made easy. Enhance employee communications with a fully integrated email client supporting images, tables, links, bullets, and more. Emails and attachments are automatically added to cases, while phone call interactions are logged directly against the case, eliminating lost notes and disconnected conversations.

As part of our strategic plan, it was decided we needed a Service Center with Ulrich model approach and this drove the requirement for an HR case management system, as it was recognized that our current spreadsheet/shared inbox solution would not be fit for purpose. We did our research into HR Case Management providers, finding Dovetail in the main industry reports such as the Gartner report, Sierra-Cedar HR Survey, as well as Google search where we found Dovetail to be highly ranked. In total we evaluated 5 providers, selecting Dovetail based on superior value for money, its HR focus and its ease of use.

Templates

HR teams often find themselves answering the same questions repeatedly. With Dovetail HR Templates, HR team members have fast access to preconfigured emails and notes, helping reduce manual effort while delivering faster, more consistent responses to employees across the organization.

Audit Timeline

One of Dovetail’s strengths is its full audit trail capability. Every case interaction is logged, including who made the change, when it occurred, and the previous and updated values.

This gives HR teams a clear chronological record to support investigations, dispute resolution, and process improvement.

Service Level Agreements (SLA)

Imagine managing HR cases with no clear priorities. Which do you handle first?

With Dovetail HR, workflow-driven SLAs automatically prioritize cases on the HR Home Console based on your KPIs and service metrics, helping teams maximize SLA performance.

Request demo

Dovetail stood out because of its flexibility, look and feel and knowledge management capabilities. Also my fear was that we were going to be buying something that would have been seen as just a ticketing system. I didn’t want it to be that type of system and I knew Dovetail was very much a departure from that. Plus a lot of the systems could only track cases, they didn’t have the knowledge management piece. That’s what differentiates Dovetail from the group of vendors we were looking at. The others were building on incident management systems that IT would use. Dovetail was definitely more aligned with what HR wanted.

Workflow Automation

A key benefit cited by our customers is HR process automation. Dovetail Workflow Automation streamlines HR Service Delivery to improve efficiency and the employee experience.

From automated case notifications to complex parallel workflows, processes can be configured to reduce manual effort.

Request demo

HCM Integration

Access key employee HR data on a single screen while working cases, reducing the need to search across multiple HR systems and screens. Customers reported using an average of five different HCM screens to build the same employee view. Data visibility is controlled based on the HR team member’s profile and the employee being viewed.

“With a Shared Inbox we ran into issues when people were out and we’re trying to get into their work. It was felt that an HR case management system was “a natural evolution” from a shared inbox solution. One of the reasons we selected Dovetail was their ability to integrate seamlessly with emails.”
