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.

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.

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.

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

HOHOHO! It’s the first week of December and we have an early present for you: you can now view upcoming holidays on the Employee Hub home screen. The list shows holidays relevant to you and is tailored to each employee’s location.

Managers can review pending requests and track all claims up to a final decision. As simple as that.
