Timely Workflow Reminders and More πŸ””

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.

What's New in flair: More Cheers and New flair Artwork

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.

Check it out now and let us know what you think!

What's New in flair: Track Your Work Hours in Slack

Manage your time better! ⌛

flair users can now track their time in Slack.

More and more workplace conversations are happening through Slack. That’s why we are making it even easier to engage with colleagues and complete HR tasks via the popular instant messenger.

The time-tracking feature on Slack gives managers a better overview of productivity. It also reminds employees to take important rest periods and breaks.

To use this time tracking function, select the flair app in your Slack channel.

Here you can connect your Employee Hub to the Slack workspace. Once you have connected with the Employee Hub, time-tracking tools will appear on the Slack page.

To start recording your work times, click the Clock In button.

From there users can choose to log their break times and also clock out when their day has ended. Try it out today and let us know what you think.

By clicking the View button, you will see how the candidate performed in each category.

We hope that you like this overview. Let us know what you think! 👍

Evaluate candidates together πŸ‘©πŸΎβ€πŸ’ΌπŸ‘¨β€πŸ’Ό

Finding great talent for your company requires collaboration with colleagues from different teams. We now added a feature that makes this even easier🎉

You can now assign evaluators to individual candidates and specific jobs. Choose one or more evaluators, the template to be used and set a due date for its completion.

Assigning default evaluators for jobs can help you save some more time along the hiring process. 

Once assigned, evaluators receive a notification in the Employee Hub.

View Direct Reports only πŸ₯³

As a manager, you might have multiple people reporting to you, either directly or indirectly. We’ve now added a button in the Employee Hub which allows you to switch from overseeing your entire reporting tree to a view that is specific to more immediate interactions.

This can be done by toggling between All Reports to Direct Reports only.

Head over to the Employee Hub and explore the Org Chart section. This is where you will find an overview of your direct and indirect reports.


For some responsibilities you might want to focus on your direct reports - for example when you review timesheets. That’s when filtering your reports gives you a better overview. When approving timesheets, change requests, absences or in expenses in the Employee Hub you will now find the button in the top right corner.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! 🙃

Assign tasks to employees for a better Onboarding βœ…

Filling out files, uploading documents, and preparing work devices - Onboarding workflows usually involve many tasks to be completed by different team members. We’ve now made this process easier. 

Just head to Workflows in the HR app, create a sequence of tasks, assign the responsible person and select a due date. Employees will automatically be notified about their tasks in the Employee Hub.

In the Overview section, you can see all the assigned tasks listed and keep track of the progress of their completion.

Workflow Templates That Save You Manual Work πŸ“„

There are some parts of the HR team’s day-to-day job that can be very time consuming. But they don't have to be. Templates can be set up to save you time in a variety of processes - from performance reviews of your team members to writing a letter of recommendation. 

Create document templates in flair and personalise them later, in no time. 

To set up a template, go to the Workflow section. First, you need to create a new Workflow Template. Second, you need to add the tasks to be completed. These can be different types of tasks, such as entering bank details, creating an account or uploading documents. 

Then, add all the details - who is responsible, who can view the task, what needs to be completed, what format is required and when is it due. Click “Save” and select the template when you need it.

We hope this feature gives you more time for things that count. Let us know what you think👇
