  5. In the text box type in the desired announcement.

    Helpful Tip

    Typing @ into the text field, followed by an employee's name, will tag that employee in the announcement. Announcements do not have a limit on the number of employee tags, so there is no limit to how many employees it can include.

    Not sure what to write? If you are on our Platinum HR classic plan you can type a few points in, then click   to have our AI help you generate a draft message. You will be able to refine the draft as you need before submitting. 

  6. Click the Paperclip button to add an attachment to the announcement.

    Important

    Employment Hero only allows you to attach images (.jpeg, .png, and .gif) and documents (.pdf) to an announcement. However, you can only attach images and documents to an announcement if you are on our Premium and Platinum plans.

  7. Click the Share With drop-down and select either:
    • Everyone: Every employee in your organisation will receive the announcement.
    • Teams: Only the teams selected in the drop-down box will receive the announcement.

    Important

    The option to select teams is only available on our premium and platinum plans. You can paste links into your post, however they will only be clickable if you make the announcement via the website.
