EMPLOYEE PORTALS PERTH

Employee portal development for team sharing and collaboration

An employee portal is the one digital location where your people access everything they need to do their jobs. Including self-service HR self-service, payroll information, leave requests, policies, tools, knowledge, and operational resources. Dapth designs and builds employee portals for Perth and WA organisations, custom-built to your workflows, integrated with your HR, payroll, and business applications, and designed around how your employees really want to access information.

Research shows self-service employee portals reduce HR admin time by up to 90%. Our portal work is delivered by the same team building your customer experience and operational systems, so the integrations between HR, payroll, intranet, and business applications are designed from day one, not connected as an afterthought by a third party who has never seen the full stack.

YOUR ADVANTAGE

When your employees can find what they need, everyone gets time back.

HR teams in organisations without effective employee portals spend significant time answering the same questions, processing the same requests, and searching for the same documents. That's time not spent on people strategy, workforce planning, or the work real HR should be doing.

A well-designed employee portal gives employees direct access to everything they need, with no waiting, no chasing, no escalation. Leave requests submitted and approved without an email chain. Pay slips accessed without a call to payroll. Policies found in thirty seconds, not thirty minutes.

Dapth builds employee portals that connect to your existing HR, payroll, and business systems, so the portal reflects real data, real status, and real access, not a static web page that's out of date by the time it launches.

BENEFITS DELIVERED

What a Dapth employee portal unlocks for your organisation

Less admin for HR. More autonomy for employees. Better data for everyone.

Self-service HR and operations

Employees submit leave, access payslips, update personal details, and complete HR forms without HR involvement, freeing your HR team for the work only humans can do.

Up to 90% reduction in HR admin time

Based on Forrester research, organisations using employee self-service portals reclaim an average of 2,184 hours per year previously spent on manual HR administration.

Single entry point for everything

One portal for HR, knowledge, tools, requests, announcements, and operational resources, not five different places employees need to check, remember, and maintain logins for.

Faster onboarding

New employees access everything they need from day one, IT setup, policies, role information, and HR forms, without a paper-heavy onboarding pack or an overloaded HR inbox.

Access to real time data

Portal data pulled from your HR, payroll, and business systems in real time, not manually updated content that's out of date before anyone reads it.

Designed for all employee types

Portals built for your specific workforce, desk-based, field-based, part-time, contractor, and senior, with appropriate access levels, relevant content, and interfaces that work across devices.

DAPTH METHODOLOGY

How we design and build employee portals

Research first. Integration second. Experience always.

Employee Research & Requirements

We talk to the employees who will use the portal, to understand what they need access to, what frustrates them about current processes, and what a better experience looks like.

Information Architecture & Access Design

We design the portal structure, content hierarchy, navigation, and role-based access model, so each employee sees what's relevant to them, not everything for everyone.

System Integration Architecture

We map your HR, payroll, business application, and document management integrations, designing data flows that keep the portal accurate and current without manual content management.

UX Design & Build

Mobile-responsive, accessible UX design to build the right portal on the right platform. SharePoint, a custom portal stack, or within your existing environment, and tested with your employees before launch.

Integration Build & Testing

HR, payroll, and business system integrations built, tested, and verified with live data. Security and access control tested across all employee types and device environments.

Launch, Training & Adoption

Structured launch process including manager and administrator training, employee communications, and a 90-day post-launch review to measure adoption and identify early improvements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Answers to your questions

01

An employee portal is a secure, role-based digital platform that gives employees direct access to the HR information, tools, and resources they need to do their jobs, without involving HR or IT for routine tasks. Core capabilities typically include payslip and leave management, HR form submission and approvals, policy and document access, IT request management, onboarding workflows, and links to business tools. Advanced portals integrate real-time data from HR and payroll systems, surface personalised content based on role and location, and serve as the single starting point for everything an employee needs in their working day.
02

An intranet is a communication and knowledge hub, where employees find company news, policies, and general reference content. An employee portal is a transactional platform, where employees do things: submit leave, access payslips, raise IT requests, complete onboarding steps, and manage their personal information. In practice, many organisations integrate portal and intranet functionality into a single employee hub. Dapth designs both and can deliver them as a combined experience or separate platforms depending on your requirements.
03

Dapth builds employee portal integrations with HR and payroll platforms via API: including Dynamics 365 HR, ELMO, Employment Hero, ADP, MYOB, and custom HR systems. Integration typically covers leave balance data, payslip document access, personal information updates, org chart data, and approval workflows. We design the integration architecture to keep portal data current in real time, with appropriate security and access controls for each data type and employee role.
04

A focused employee portal, UX design, build, HR and payroll integration, and launch, typically takes 12–18 weeks. More complex portals with multiple system integrations, custom workflow modules, and large employee populations run 18–28 weeks. Timeline is most influenced by the number and complexity of system integrations and the availability of your HR and IT teams during the integration design and testing phases.
05

Yes. Dapth builds employee portals on SharePoint (via Microsoft 365) for organisations already in the Microsoft ecosystem. SharePoint integrates natively with Azure AD for identity and access management, with Power Apps and Power Automate for workflow, and with Dynamics 365 for HR data, making it a strong portal foundation for Microsoft-first organisations. For organisations outside the Microsoft stack, or with requirements SharePoint doesn't serve well, we build on the right custom stack for your context.
