We're thrilled to introduce our new Employee Calendar in the Salesforce HR app! This handy feature provides an at-a-glance overview of the coming day, week, or month for each of your team members. This way, you can stay organized and prepared by easily viewing upcoming shifts, vacations, and public holidays.

Viewing Employee Calendars

To view an employee's calendar, simply select their name and click on the Calendar tab. Then, you'll be able to switch between daily, weekly, or monthly views. If you'd like to see more details about any event listed in the calendar, just click on it – you'll be taken to the corresponding record with any related notes and documents.

Know What’s Coming

With the Employee Calendar, you can easily keep track of each employee's upcoming events. This provides you with an overview of what's coming up and allows you to quickly schedule any necessary changes or updates.

We're always looking for ways to enhance your experience here at flair and we’ll keep on adding functions to the Employee Calendar, so stay tuned! If you have any ideas or suggestions for us, please don't hesitate to let us know – we value your insight and feedback.

We’ve made some slick new changes to the way employees upload and manage company or personal documents in the Employee Hub. Check them out!

Modern Document Storage

Whether they work remotely or in-office, we know that employees crave easy-to-navigate, streamlined, and secure ways to manage important work documents. Presenting an enhanced document management experience on flair.

With our new features, you can now effortlessly organize and access important documents within the Employee Hub portal. Securely upload files, create document categories, comment, and set approval statuses.

By centralizing document management on flair, employees can experience the benefits of streamlined workflows, improved collaboration, and easy retrieval of information.

New Features

• Personal vs Corporate View: Delineate between personal files and company-centric documents using this split view. Store your work contract in the Personal folder, and keep the employee handbook or company policies Corporate.
• Detailed Information: Single source of truth uploading that includes document preview view, file size, document location, uploader info, and workflow or completion status.
• Commenting: Work together on specific documents using the commenting feature. Keep colleagues in the loop and enhance communication channels.
• Manager Mode: Coming Soon. Switch to Manager mode on the Employee Hub and organize team files or paperwork associated with your direct reports.

We are thrilled to announce that we have made some fantastic updates to flair, including a new Loom integration that makes managing absences easier.

Mass Employee Hub Invites

We understand that onboarding new hires can be time-consuming, which is why we have made it easier than ever to invite multiple employees to the flair Employee Hub with one click. This means that your new team members can hit the ground running and start using the Employee Hub’s comprehensive suite of tools.

Loom for Absences

Employees can now use Loom to quickly share a video when requesting time off. This is a great way to interact with colleagues and can be much faster than written messages! Adding a personal touch helps everyone stay connected and can improve team collaboration.

Commenting for Time Tracking

We have also introduced commenting for time tracking in the Employee Hub. Employees can now leave messages when submitting their working hours to explain any longer, shorter, or missed breaks. This feature makes it easier to keep track of hours worked and avoids the need to switch to another app or means of communication to explain irregular working hours.

We hope that these updates will help you and your team be more productive and foster collaboration. Stay tuned for more updates soon, and let us know what you're looking for from flair. We always appreciate your feedback and are committed to improving our product to meet your needs.

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?

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! 🥳

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.
