Custom Forms Uplift Slice 2 - My Submissions

Release Date: 04/09/2025

Target Users: Global Forms users (EU, Employment Plus and Platinum)

Description: Employees had no central place to view or track their own form submissions, causing confusion about status and losing time hunting for past responses and attachments. Admins became the bottleneck for simple queries (“Did I submit?”, “What’s the status?”), creating unnecessary support load and back-and-forth.

Product features:

• Dedicated My Submissions Tab – Employees can access a central page within the Forms module to review all their submissions.
• Submission List View – Displays form title and submission date.
• Date Filtering – Employees can filter submissions by start/end date for easier discovery.
• Read-Only Detail View – Clicking a submission opens the full response.

Custom Forms Uplift Slice 2 - Responses Tab

Release Date: 04/09/2025

Target Users: Global Forms users (EU, Employment Plus and Platinum)

Description: Admins had to export responses to CSV every time just to view or analyse submissions, creating unnecessary friction and delays. Lack of in-platform visibility made it harder to quickly review, filter, or access individual responses.

Product features:

• Responses Tab in Forms – Admins can now view submissions directly within the platform, without needing to export.
• Submission List View – Displays all responses for a selected form in a structured list.
• Filtering Options – Filter responses by employee name and submission date.
• Response Detail View – Click into an individual submission to see the full response.
• CSV Export – Export the entire response list as a CSV file when needed for reporting or analysis.

Settings Uplift - Slice 3

Objective: Restructure of settings pages and uplift of Company Details and Rewards pages

• Renaming several settings pages and groups for clearer, more intuitive wording

HR Rostering and Timesheet

Group Assignments in Worksites & Positions

What’s New: We’ve redesigned how admins assign employees to worksites and positions with a new assignment modal.

• Assign by Group in one click – Add an entire Group at once instead of selecting people individually.
• Auto-Assign toggle (instant sync) – When turned on, Group membership drives the assignment. Every
• Group member is automatically assigned to the right worksite and position, and updates happen instantly as employees join or leave between Groups.
• Flexible editing – Search within available/assigned employees, add or remove individuals (even those in a selected Group), and see a live count of who’s assigned.
• Quick bulk actions – Use Select All / Unselect All to speed up manual changes.

Why It Matters

• Save time with faster Group-level assignment.
• Onboard automatically — new Group members immediately inherit the correct worksite and position details.
• Reduce admin load — no more chasing manual updates when Groups change; everything can sync in real time.

How to Use It

• Go to Worksites & Positions.
• Open the Assign Employees modal under a position.
• Select a Group (or individual employees).
• Toggle Auto-Assign if you want assignments to follow Group membership automatically.
• Review, edit, or bulk select/deselect as needed.
• Click Save.

Release Schedule: 4 September 2025 (open beta)

Performance Management

AI People Insights

Description: Employee data across Employment Hero is scattered across different modules, making it difficult for people managers to identify important signals and provide timely support, particularly around leave patterns, engagement, and compliance concerns. AI People Insights consolidates this data into a clear overview of their team, surfacing relevant, actionable insights to help managers offer meaningful support and guidance. The initial focus is on leave insights, highlighting patterns such as repeated absences, spikes in leave or behaviours that may require a check-in.

Where you’ll find insights:

• Employees List
  • Managers can view all insights related to their reporting employees.
  • Each manager sees a summary view of insights (with filter options), as well as a detailed breakdown for each insight including: reasoning, suggested actions, the ability to provide feedback and a CTA to follow up directly in-platform.
  • Access is limited to data and employees the manager already has permission to view.
• Employee Profile
  • Managers can drill into insights for a specific reporting employee.
  • The employee scorecard now includes AI People Insights.
  • Summary insights are surfaced on the employee profile, with more details available in the side panel.

Release plan: We’ll release to beta clients (targeting 7th July) before rolling this out to all clients around the 21st July, Beta clients: 3/7/25, 10% cohort: 8/8/25, 20% cohort: 22/8/25

Target users: Admins and people managers (Platinum, Plus and Unlimited)

Talent Management

Support Employee Requisitions and Onboarding Approvals in the New Workflows Engine

Objective: Our legacy “Workflows” functionality for Employee Requisition and Onboarding Approvals was developed years ago for specific customer needs, but now coexists alongside our modern Workflows engine. This creates confusion around which subscriptions have access to what, where to manage approvals and limits flexibility in automation. By consolidating these features into the new Workflows engine, we improve clarity, reduce duplication, and provide customers with greater flexibility in automating the employee lifecycle.

Description: Employers have more flexibility with managing their Employee Requisitions and Onboarding Approvals in the new Workflows, unlocking greater automation options. This update improves visibility, reduces confusion, and streamlines the employee lifecycle as part of Workforce Planning (Vacancies & Requisitions). The rollout will happen in three phases:

• Phase 1: For all customers on Unlimited and Plus tiers, and for Platinum customers (excluding those with legacy data).
• Phase 2: Migration of legacy data for Platinum customers into the new Workflows engine.
• Phase 3: Deprecation of legacy Employee Requisitions and Onboarding Approvals for Premium customers, consolidating all workflow management into the new engine. It's also an upsell opportunity to Platinum/NextGen.

This phased approach ensures minimal disruption while giving customers the benefits of modern workflow automation.

Release Schedule: Phase 1: 04/09/2025

Target users: Unlimited, Plus and Platinum customers (excluding those with legacy data) for Phase 1

Talent Marketplace
