Sage HR updates

To celebrate the launch of our new exciting rebrand, we updated Sage HR to bring the look and feel of this software in line with our new guidelines. Updates to the iOS and Android mobile apps have also been implemented including changes to colors, our logo, images, and overall design. We really hope you like what you see - there is much more to come!

Setting goals for your employees is simple with enhancements to the goals module. The creation of the goals modal was one of the main challenges for our users, so we have made it easier to create and set goals within all tabs. By default, admins and goals group managers can view and create goals in the following tabs:

• Employee goals
• Personal goals
• Team goals
• Company goals
• All goals

You can create these by clicking Goals > Add goal. Simply add in the goal information and move to the next step of assigning the goal to an employee so that they can work towards these targets.

We have made it simpler to sign shared documents from the documents tab using eSignature. To sign the document, click on the area and draw your signature. Alternatively, you can upload an image of your signature from your computer, or if you prefer, you can just type in your name. Make getting important documents signed quicker and easier.

Working schedules are now part of Core HR and available to all users. This means you can set up working schedules and assign them to your employees. You can also use them to differentiate full-time employees from other types, even if you don’t have the Timesheets module. And there is more to come – we’re introducing updates soon that allow working schedules to integrate with your own time-off policies.

We’ve revamped Sage HR email templates and welcome emails to bring you a new, modern and professional look. Customize your view by setting these new templates to light or dark mode.

You can now provide feedback directly in the Sage HR iOS app. Got suggestions about the product? Your feedback will go straight to the product team so they can review requests and put suggestions into action.

 

We’ve added star ratings to surveys in addition to written comments so that it’s even easier to indicate preferences.

 

Testing is about to begin on our new tool that uses AI and machine learning to forecast absence. Designed to help you plan ahead and stay productive, this tool will be available in the future as a special feature as part of Leave Management.

You can now set up rules on child benefits so that employees automatically receive emails.

We’ve introduced swipe gestures to the Sage HR Android app. You can use this with tasks like approving expenses and time off so that you can quickly find what you are looking for.

Easier to use and with more intuitive navigation, Sage HR now has a new and improved design.

With our new Open Shifts feature, you can empower employees with self-service and help schedule managers free up time.

• Schedule managers can create open slots that employees can take according to their availability to fill the roles and workload needed for the day
• Employees can pick up shifts and build their own schedule

• Use easy templates to get started
• Personalize your survey when editing a template
• Calculate engagement based on best practices
• Get an improved data visualization from finished surveys

Now iOS app users can view time off records, shifts, public holidays –and it can all be accessed through Workspace.

All new customers who want to use timesheets can add new projects and log the time alongside the project’s activities. Available with the Timesheets module.

We’ve updated the user interface for feedback creation to make it even more intuitive. Now users can choose who will review and provide feedback based on their roles, from managers and direct reports to their teammates.

With in-product navigation that gives new charts in the header and an explanation of deductions, managing paychecks has never been easier.

We’ve added a new setting to allow admins to give permissions to employees so that they can export their own timesheet reports.

We’ve enhanced the security around e-sign documents.

We’re reviewed the content within our products to maintain gender neutrality throughout. And we’ve added the "Mx" title option in employee profiles.

Projects and work packages can now be set up in the Timesheets module.

• Employees can log time alongside different tasks they perform during their workdays and submit their timesheets for approval
• Project managers will get notifications to review their project's timesheets
• A handy new report makes it easy to see how much time has been invested on the different projects

Now you can receive push notifications about expenses and time off to stay up to date with your finances.

Available in Google Play Store and in Apple App Store, our app transforms the experience of Sage HR with the ability to request time off, submit expenses, view the history and more.
