Dear Community, 

Last week we held our first “What’s New” event of the year, recapping what we are releasing this quarter. 

A big thank you to all who were able to participate in our live event! We had so much to cover, we didn’t get to as many questions in the Q&A section that we would have liked to. We’ll try and cover a few here that we did not answer live. 

For those of you who were unable to attend - we’ve got you covered - check out the recording of the webinar here.

If you want to forward the updates from the quarter - feel free to pass along this link of our summary page to anyone you think would be interested. 

This was our Agenda in Q1

• How to master your headcount plan with Workforce Planning 
• Employee Referrals and Advanced Application List features coming March to Recruiting
• Absence Management updates to requesting absences, and the new Company Calendar feature
• Transparent timesheet logs coming to Time Management 
• Recurring Surveys to help feel the pulse of your organisation
• New experience for Performance and Development for question types and form templates

Q&A Overview

Here are a few top-voted questions that we didn’t get to live. Next time we’ll make sure to leave more time for this section so we can get to more of what you want to know about. 

Q: Will it be possible to also export the comments in performance review forms or only the ratings and open questions?

A: I'm happy to share that we've made it possible to export the comments as well via the performance reviews .xlsx export! This is already available, check it out .

Q: Can we set a review outside of a cycle such as an individual’s probation review?

A: This can be achieved using continuous feedback and a customised feedback form. Alternatively you can run a cycle with just the relevant probation employees as participants.

Q: In Recruiting: can we add columns of customised attributes?

A: For now the columns can only be system attributes and position attributes. But since we have received feedback for the need to add custom attributes, we are looking into this.

Q: After the workforce plan has been approved can it be adjusted with shifting business priorities?

A:  Yes, you can always make changes to your Active Positions List, at any time actually. So you can edit Position target values (e.g. target start date, target salary) and you can also add/delete positions as needed.

Q: When will variable salary components (performance bonus/sales commissions) become part of Compensation Management?

A: Variable salary components within Compensation Reviews are on our Roadmap for H1 2025.

Thank you and have a lovely week!
