Employee Portal
HR employee self service portal employees actually use
A self service portal that absorbs routine questions before they ever reach a person, and tells employees where their case stands without them having to ask.

What employees get
Self service people actually use
Employees only use self service when it is faster than emailing HR, so the portal is built around search, case tracking and chat that answer in seconds.
Instant knowledge search
Policies, guides, FAQs, infographics and video, searchable from any device.
Answers in seconds
Ask HR when they need to
When self service does not resolve it, the question becomes a tracked case with no re-typing.
One step to a case
Case tracking
Employees see status without emailing to chase, which removes a large share of tier 1 contact.
No chasing
Chat and AI assistance
Live chat and HR Copilot in Microsoft Teams and Slack, where people already work.
Meet them where they are
Configuration
Change it yourself, the same afternoon
Branding, welcome content, featured articles, categories and permissions are all configured by HR. No ticket to IT, no waiting for a software release, and no outside agency.
- Personalized welcome content by population, region or business unit
- Featured articles for open enrollment, policy changes and peak periods
- Employee feedback and article ratings to show what is working
- Multi language support for global workforces
Make it yours
Your brand, not ours
Employees do not adopt a portal that looks like a vendor tool. Dovetail brands the portal to your organization during implementation. Your brand colors sit in one place, so changing them recolors every page at once, and you can do it yourself whenever you want or hand it to support.
- Logo, color palette and typography set to your brand
- Page structure and layout arranged the way your HR function works, not a fixed template
- Navigation and menus defined by you, so the language matches your organization
- Every surface themed, not just the home page, so search, browse and case pages match as well
- The HR Copilot chat window is branded too, so the assistant reads as part of your HR team rather than a third party bot
- Change it yourself at any time, or ask support to do it for you
Personalization
One portal, a different experience for every person in it
A manager and the person who reports to them do not need the same portal. Dovetail personalizes what each of them sees, on the same page, without you maintaining two of everything.
Content by persona
Set a persona and the page changes with it. One page serves both audiences. A manager sees manager content, an employee sees employee content, and you maintain it once.
One page, many audiences
Menus by persona
Navigation follows the same rule. Managers get the manager toolkit. Employees are not shown menus they cannot use.
No irrelevant menus
Dynamic employee data anywhere
Any page can pull the reader's own details into the text, so policy and guidance read as if they were written for that person rather than for everyone.
Written for the reader
Our current system felt antiquated. It looked old, it felt old. We wanted a different way to interact and engage with employees, we wanted something where we could live chat. We have a lot of employees and they are younger and younger every day and we wanted to meet them where they are.
