The flair solution simplifies HR management for companies of all sizes by streamlining employee-facing tasks and fostering cross-team collaboration. 🤩

In this edition of What's New in flair, we're bringing you some fresh commenting updates to enhance your company communication. We've also tweaked the design of the Projects section in the Employee Hub. Enjoy!

Announcement Comments

Be part of the company conversation. Our latest commenting feature in the Employee Hub enables flair users to celebrate, discuss and respond to company-wide announcements.

Head over to the Announcements page on the Hub, leave a comment, and join the conversation.

Mandatory Absence Comments

We know how important it is to keep communication flowing. So thanks to your valuable feedback, we've added a new mandatory comment box to the Absences page in the Employee Hub.

It allows employees to provide notes about their absences.

This feature enables a more transparent and collaborative approach to managing employee absences, improving overall communication and team engagement.

Project Grids Redesign

The Projects feature in the Hub has undergone a slight design tweak. Users can now switch from a Weekly to a Monthly Time Tracking view in Projects.

To make navigation even smoother, our designers have even added a convenient scrolling grid for monthly projects.

For more flair updates keep an eye on our What's New page or follow us on LinkedIn.

Build employee surveys, utilize smart check-ins, and gain actionable insights into your workforce. 🤩

Employee engagement tools help cultivate a culture of creativity, innovation, productivity, and feedback.

That's why we've launched three survey features. They offer an invaluable opportunity for employers to collect meaningful opinions and perspectives of their workforce.

Custom Engagement Surveys

Not every organization has the same structure or processes. So it's important to be able to tailor feedback surveys to your product, service, or workforce.

Through our HR app, flair users can customize their own engagement survey questions. Draft engaging questions, collect important feedback, and visualize the data using flair.

Smart Smiley Check-Ins

Gauge the mood of staff through this smart emoticon check-in feature. Ask employees to respond to a question or phrase using simple smiley faces accessible to staff through the Employee Hub and email.

It's a fast, fun, and effective way to display indicators on subjects like employee satisfaction, workload, and overall well-being.

Measure eNPS

Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is an important metric used to rate employee satisfaction, loyalty, and likelihood to recommend their employer.

Companies can now gain invaluable insight into the workplace atmosphere, thanks to our eNPS feature. With it, employees are empowered to give a clear picture of how they feel about working for a company.

Create eNPS surveys on the flair HR app on Salesforce, automate survey communication, and with our results page, measure workplace satisfaction over time.

For more information about our employee engagement tools, check out the Learning Hub guide on eNPS Surveys and Smiley Check-Ins.

Our UX Team is constantly working on revamping the Employee Hub – to make navigating an intuitive and easy process. We proudly present a new look on Salesforce, improvements in the Employee Hub, and a new look for our email reminders.

Improved Menu Bar Usability

Never get lost in the Employee Hub again! We’ve updated our menu bar so that you don’t lose track of your click path. Also, stay on top of any product updates, which you find on the bottom left of the menu bar. 🤠

flair’s New Look on Salesforce

New vision, new branding, new colors. As we are evolving we are also bringing our Salesforce apps in line with our brand. Go ahead and check out our fresh look on Salesforce! 🕺

Email Design That Pops

flair sends out email reminders to your employees about approaching deadlines, documents to be submitted, and newly assigned tasks. While this is nothing new, the emails now reach your inbox with a better look: more colors and beauty to match our new branding. 🎨

In fact, aesthetics is part of flair’s core values. This value includes far more than visual elegance. Aesthetics is the pleasure we derive from perceiving an object or experience through our senses. So we really hope you find our product both user-friendly and sleek. 😊

Have your say: You can now share comments and emojis with your colleagues in the Employee Hub.

Whether you’re asking a question or sharing feedback, communication is essential to workplace collaboration. That’s why we’ve added a commenting feature to the Employee Hub to make it easier for you to interact with your colleagues and managers within the Hub. No need to switch apps.

In-App Commenting

Our new comments feature allows you to collaborate in context. Get straight to the point by adding a comment directly where it is relevant, increasing clarity and reducing the risk of misunderstanding. Now you no longer need to leave the Employee Hub to ask a question or send screenshots to help your colleagues understand what you are referring to.

Commenting is currently available on the following pages of the Employee Hub:

• Workflows
• Absences
• Expenses
• Cheers
• Certificates

Share Emojis, Images, & More

In addition, we’ve also expanded our emoji picker so you can add a bit of fun and emotion to your comments. These new emojis are also available as reactions on the Announcements page.

Besides emojis, you can also include images, files, and links in your comments. This improves the flow of information between managers, team members, and HR.

Why not try it out and share a comment to brighten a colleague’s day?

Take notes and make identifying the right job candidate easier. 📝

We have just introduced Notes into the flair Recruiting app.

Recruiting App Notes

Notes is a feature located within the Candidates section on the flair Recruiting app on Salesforce.

By clicking on a job candidate, you can choose to create a note about their progress during the recruitment process. For example, make a note about the skills that impressed you during the phone screening or interview stage.

Extra Features

This flair Recruiting app feature also allows you to attach important files or documents to any note. You may also create note templates, save comments, and also filter search for keywords or specific comments.

Try out the new feature today and enhance your recruiting workflow. For more information on how flair can help you streamline and improve recruitment, visit our Learning Hub.

flair Recruiting just got more efficient with our new extension for Google Chrome!

Save Time Sourcing Candidates

Adding to your talent pool, making connections, and saving candidate data are all important parts of a recruiter’s daily business. Our latest update makes it even easier. With the flair Recruiting extension for Google Chrome, you can add promising talent and interesting candidates to your flair Recruiting app – directly from your browser.

Automatic Parsing of Candidate Details

Just received an impressive job application? Our Chrome plug-in can automatically parse their details from websites. It’s really simple: Just click on the extension and the plug-in will extract the most important information and contact details. Assign a job to the candidate, choose a funnel stage, and add your notes, then you can instantly add the candidate to the flair Recruiting app.

And you can do the same to add a profile to your talent pool. So now there’s no need to interrupt your workflow when you’re on the hunt for your company’s next top talent!

Add Talent From Anywhere

While automatic parsing is only compatible with some websites, you can still use our Chrome extension on any website.

Simply click on the extension in your Chrome browser and add talent or candidate details manually – they will still be saved directly to your flair Recruiting app, saving you from having to log into Salesforce.

Three new improvements that improve your workflow processes and absence requests are now live.

Handy Deadline Reminders

Now you can automate deadline reminders. Projects come with deadlines and you can set the parameters using flair in Salesforce. When a deadline is approaching, an employee will receive a reminder on a date that works for the project. As an HR manager, this feature allows you to complete workflows in time and with ease.

Receive Absence Requests in Time

It’s important to outline your absence request policy and make it easy for employees to give notice of leave. Your absence request policy can be customized through the Absence Settings on the flair HR app. By adding a minimum time notice for absences you avoid short notice absence requests while making the request process smoother.

Requests for More Days Off

Employees sometimes need to seek special dispensation and request to take off more days than is outlined in your company’s absence policies, like in the event of a family emergency, accident, or special occasion. In these exceptional cases, employers will want to work with the employee to find an appropriate solution.

If this situation occurs, employees are now asked to add a document in addition to the request. The notification appears when an employee wants to request time off in the Employee Hub. A document could be a medical letter or any other relevant information.

We’ve made some snazzy, new updates to Cheers! 🥳 

An Employee Hub favorite, Cheers allows you to send coworkers funky flair artwork and messages to say thanks for a job well done.

It’s all about showing colleagues you care. Celebrating hard work and dedication can be a powerful motivator and an important part of employee recognition.

That’s why we have now upgraded the Cheers function in the Employee Hub to make it possible to send a thank you to multiple people at once.

Our design team has also created some amazing new pieces of artwork for flair users to send to team members. These add a bit of variety to the messages of gratitude that you can send to your colleagues.
