The platform includes a course builder tailored for employees. Courses can be created from scratch, customised to specific needs, and include modules with various components such as videos, virtual sessions, and tests to enrich the learning experience.

Course Schedule

For effective course planning and time management, the application enables the creation of simple schedules for courses. These schedules include built-in notifications to prevent missed sessions, ensuring continuous skill development for employees.
Time and Attendance

Absence Scheduler

Managing absences can be challenging, but the application simplifies it with the absence scheduler. This feature allows absences to be easily logged with just a click, using pre-defined absence types, thereby reducing the burden on the team.

Pay Configuration

The application offers the flexibility to configure pay periods for different locations and define the pay period cycle, simplifying the calculation of payouts across businesses. This feature also streamlines payroll management, ensuring the creation of accurate pay slips.

Permissions

Permissions within the application empower businesses to define user roles and access levels, ensuring that admins and other users have appropriate permissions for actions like accessing reports, check-ins, and schedules, enhancing business security.

Schedule Reports

The platform streamlines attendance tracking, allowing businesses to generate reports that unveil trends within teams, such as punctuality and attendance hours. These reports provide insights into patterns and can aid in managing absences if they occur.

Shift Customisation

Tailor shift schedules according to specific needs and preferences, ensuring that each shift aligns with the requirements of both businesses and employees, thus ensuring comfort and satisfaction with the assigned shift schedule.

Automate Rotations

Simplify team rotations with an intuitive interface that allows for easy shift definition and management, saving valuable time and effort in scheduling. This feature enables businesses to adjust shift schedules to meet their specific needs efficiently.

Break Management

The application allows businesses to define and manage breaks within schedules, configuring them as either payable or non-payable as needed. These breaks can be seamlessly integrated into timetables, creating well-organised and efficient schedules.

Real-Time Notifications

The application uses notifications to keep employees well-informed about their shifts, sending alerts when new shifts are assigned. This ensures everyone is aware of their upcoming shifts and important details, promoting better communication.

Timesheets

Timesheets are essential for tracking employees' daily, weekly, and monthly work hours, ensuring precise records for billing purposes. With timesheets, businesses can efficiently convert this data into client billing information, simplifying the invoicing process.

Employee Engagement

Survey Summaries

Whenever a survey is conducted, the application compiles and summarises the results, providing businesses with an overview of workforce satisfaction and opinions on specific subjects. This consolidated data helps in gaining valuable insights and making informed decisions.

Insightful Reports

Each survey question contributes to broader metrics that can be analysed. The platform generates detailed reports on responses, enabling in-depth analysis of key performance indicators and identifying areas that require improvement.

Keyword Analysis

Employ AI-driven text analysis to effectively examine responses to open-ended questions. This technology identifies common keywords and assesses sentiment, distinguishing between positive and negative feedback.

Annual Surveys

Conducting annual surveys is essential for gaining a deeper understanding of employees and their workplace experiences. These surveys provide valuable insights into their perspectives on businesses and their overall environment.

ENPS Surveys

In addition to annual surveys, conducting Employee Net Promoter Surveys (eNPS) is crucial. eNPS measures the likelihood of employees recommending businesses to others, providing insights into loyalty, employee retention and satisfaction levels.

Anonymous Results

Responses to surveys are kept strictly anonymous to encourage honest feedback from employees, free from any pressure or influence from their superiors. This anonymity fosters an open and candid environment for employees to express their thoughts.
