    The Issue Auto Resolution for HR application uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide near real-time responses to your employee's routine inquiries. When your employees use the request and response channels, you can collect their feedback to improve the quality of the recommendations.

    By using the Issue Auto Resolution for HR application, your employees can ask for help through the request channels. They can then receive resolutions for their requests through the response channels. The Issue Auto Resolution application also identifies the cases that are critical or sensitive and brings them to an agent's attention for timely assistance.

    The key benefits of using the Issue Auto Resolution application are:
    • Auto-resolutions to your employee's questions.
    • Omni-channel or multichannel experience so that your employees have multiple channels to request and receive help.
    • Cost savings through self-service because you don’t require as many agents to answer questions.
    • Near real-time responses for your employees.
    • Dashboard that your agents and managers can use to monitor the success metrics.
    Warning:
    Issue Auto Resolution for HR is supported only in the English language and does not support bringing in your own model.

    HR case auto-resolution that is powered by AI

    For high-volume, non-critical cases, the Issue Auto Resolution application gives near real time self-service options through the response channels that the employee would like to engage with. The Issue Auto Resolution application can detect which cases are critical and bring them to your agents' attention, which ensures that the employee gets timely assistance.

    Omni-channel or multichannel experience

    The omni-channel or multichannel experience enables employees to ask for help through the channel that is most convenient to them so that they can receive a near real-time response in their preferred channels. For example, a routine general inquiry that is received through an email can be auto-resolved through a short message/messaging service (SMS) for remote workers or Microsoft Teams for those employees who go into the office. Your employees decide how they want their responses.

    Cost savings for the organization

    Nearly 50–80 percent of employee requests are submitted through an unstructured format because employees often prefer the easiest and fastest route to ask for help. Most of these requests are routine or non-critical. By using the Issue Auto Resolution application, you can automate the resolution of high-volume, low-value HR cases. This automation reduces the cost and effort of manually sorting and solving routine cases.

    Near real-time response

    The Issue Auto Resolution application gives a near real-time response (often 3–5 seconds) for routine employee inquiries. Employees don’t have to wait 3–5 days for an agent to get back to them to address their inquiries.

    Dashboard for monitoring your success metrics

    The Issue Auto Resolution dashboard lets your administrators monitor your dashboard's success metrics. These metrics can provide you with the details of the auto-resolved cases, estimated costs, and time savings through Issue Auto Resolution.
