Here are our product releases for Week 44 of 2026, which includes October 26 - 30, 2026.

HeroAI’s Performance Review Agent can now act on performance data as well as answer questions. Managers can set goals, log check-ins, schedule 1:1s, give feedback and send recognition from one conversation, and prepare a performance review report with a source and date for every claim, downloadable as a PDF. Every action stays a draft until confirmed, and the agent never suggests a rating. (Released: 28 October 2026, HeroAI web users in Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom organisations on HR Elite and Employment Unlimited)

Core HR

Managers can choose how far ahead the Celebrations & Anniversary widget looks, with separate 14, 30, 60 or 90 day look-aheads for birthdays and work anniversaries. Anniversary cards now show the milestone year, such as 5 years, under the person’s name. (Released: 29 October 2026, Global)
Work Locations can now hold a full address, with address search, manual entry and a check that the address matches the location’s country. Addresses are required for new locations, and for existing ones the next time they are updated. Suburb or city, postcode and state show in the Work Locations list. (Released: 28 October 2026, Global excluding Canada)
A new search field in employee, contractor and volunteer profiles lets users jump straight to a section instead of scrolling to find it. The sections available match each user’s permissions. (Released: 30 October 2026, Global, Essentials and Standard plans and above)

Payroll Services Hub users can now search payroll profiles by contact name, email or Org ID, not just business name, to find the right client faster. (Released: 27 October 2026, Global)
