New Functional Marketing Materials on the ESR Hub
Over the course of the last year many organisations have changed the way that they work to deal with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ESR service was no different and in March 2020 the ‘COVID Resource Hub’ was launched on Discover Your ESR.
This proved to be very popular with organisations and their employees; pulling together numerous pieces of guidance covering the following areas:
- User Notices
- Information for ESR Leads
- Information for corporate teams
- Applicant Guidance
- Employee Guidance
- Manager Guidance
The success of the COVID Resource Hub has led to a review of the functional brochure material that the team has made available to users, and subsequently developed a new approach to these materials.
The launch of the ESR Hub – the new landing page for my.esr.nhs.uk last year has also meant that we can make these materials easily accessible in one place. The functional brochures have been redesigned following the same structure as the step by step guides on the COVID Resource Hub, designed to focus on the benefits to the organisation, manager and employee. The new functional marketing materials all comprise the following elements:
- Promotional Guide – This demonstrates the benefits of using a particular piece of functionality.
- Implementation Guide – This gives an overview of how to implement the functionality.
- Functional Guide – This explains the other elements of complimentary ESR functionality that can be used, introducing further benefits; for example; Management Plan functionality (within Manager Self Service) enables organisations to set, agree and review objectives agreed by a manager and employee. This functional guide is designed to give managers handy hints and tips and links to further guides.
All of these functional marketing materials can be found in one handy place on the ESR Hub. Simply go to Implementing ESR in the menu bar and you can select which area of ESR functionality you are looking for.
A full suite of Manager Self Service, ESR Learning Management and Online Payslip materials are already available, with other new functional marketing materials being added to the ESR Hub incrementally over the coming weeks and months – Employee Self Service will be available in July.
If you are interested in implementing ESR Learning Management, any aspect of Manager Self Service or Online Payslips, then accessing these new functional materials is a good starting point. Our regional ESR Functional Account Managers and Implementation Advisors will also able to provide you with the guidance and support you may need to get your change project off the ground.
