Company links let your organisation add one-click shortcuts to the external tools your people use for work, such as your intranet, EAP service or learning platform. Each link appears as a tile in the Company links widget on the home dashboard, so employees can get to everything they need in one place.
Owners and admins can add, edit and remove company links from the widget. Employees can open any link with a single click and can hide the widget from their own dashboard at any time.
Getting started
- Log into Employment Hero with admin or owner access.
- Go to the Home dashboard and locate the Company links widget.
- Click the + icon next to the Company links heading. If no links have been added yet, click Add a link instead.
- In the Name field, enter the name of the tool, for example EAP.
- In the URL field, enter the full web address, starting with https:// or http://.
- Optional: choose a link icon. Select Image upload to add your own image, or Emoji to choose one. If you don't add an icon, the tile shows the link's initials (for example, "E" for "EAP").
- Check the Preview, then click Add link.
The new link appears as a tile in the Company links widget. Once at least one link has been added, the widget is visible to all employees.
Note: If the Company links widget isn't on your dashboard, you can also click Add widgets, then select Company links to add it.
Note: Every link you add is visible to all employees in your organisation. Check that the web address is correct and that the site is suitable for everyone before you save it.
Further information
Employees see the Company links widget on their home dashboard once at least one link has been added. Each link is shown as a tile with its name, icon and web address.
Employees can click any tile to open the link in a new browser tab. They can't add, edit or remove links, but they can hide the widget from their own dashboard.
If no company links have been added, the widget doesn't appear for employees.
Owners and admins can change or remove a link from its tile. Hover over the tile to show the ··· menu.
To edit a link:
- Click the ··· menu on the tile and select Edit.
- Update the name, URL or icon.
- Click Save changes.
The tile updates to show your changes. To close the window without saving, click the X button or click outside it. The link keeps its original details.
To remove a link:
- Click the ··· menu on the tile and select Delete.
- Click Remove to confirm. To keep the link, click Cancel.
Note: If you remove the last company link, the widget is hidden from employees until you add another link.
You can hide the Company links widget from your own dashboard at any time. Hiding the widget only changes your view. The links stay in place, and the widget remains available for everyone else in your organisation.
- Click Add widgets on your dashboard.
- To hide the widget, deselect Company links.
- To restore the widget, select Company links again.
