At Workzoom, we're always striving to make your work life easier and more engaging. Our latest release is loaded with innovative features and thoughtful improvements designed to help you effortlessly manage your tasks, streamline your reporting, and empower your team. Ready to see what’s new? Let’s dive in!
General User Interface
- To Do Tile: We’ve given the To Do tile a fresh look. Now, you can quickly toggle between flags and to dos, with easy-to-see counts for each. If there are no flags, that tab stays hidden to keep things tidy. You can also dive right into your flags or to dos lists.
- Can Do Banner: The slider navigation is back and better than ever. It shows how many actions are available, and if there's only one, it takes you straight to it. We've made sure it’s clear and easy to use.
- Dash Can Dos: We’ve cleaned up the home dashboards so they’re less cluttered. Some Can Dos now only show up when you’re looking at the relevant record, like updating work assignments or withdrawing leave requests.
- Navigation Buttons: We’ve improved the look and feel of buttons across Workzoom to make navigation smoother and more intuitive.
- Quick Actions on Flags: You can now click on active flags directly from recap lists. For instance, if a pay run has flags, you can click through to see the details right away.
Simplifying Reporting
- Easy Access to Reports: Administrators and Managers can now find reports right from their dashboards with a new Reports button. Plus, the global search feature makes finding specific reports a breeze.
- Report Exporting: Exported reports now include details like report name, creator, creation date, and any options used. This information is added to PDFs, Word documents, and as a new tab in Excel exports.
- Org Chart Capture: We’ve enabled scrolling for organization chart views, so you can capture the full view with browser extensions like Chrome’s Fireshot.
- Hierarchy Chart Exports: We’ve fixed issues with exporting hierarchy charts to Excel, ensuring all data comes through correctly.
- Filter Experience: Adding and removing filters in reports is now more straightforward with some styling improvements.
Managing HR
- HR Admin Dashboard: We’ve added new tiles to improve visibility of life events, compensation, offboarding, and onboarding activities.
- Password Resets: When employees need to change their passwords, they’ll now see the specific requirements set by your organization, making it easier to comply.
- Compensation Currency: The compensation tile now shows the currency symbol based on what’s set for the employee’s worker class.
- Replacing Field: The Replacing field on Job Postings and Work Assignments now includes terminated employees, making it easier to identify who the new hire is replacing.
- Change Compensation: We’ve improved the Work Assignment History in the Change Compensation section to include historical assignments.
- New Tenure Report: We’ve added a report that calculates tenure from the Seniority Date, while the original report now focuses on Hire Date.
- Job Descriptions: Employees can now see their job descriptions during the onboarding process, making roles and expectations clearer from the start.
Streamlining Recruiting
- Job Descriptions: Just like in onboarding, job descriptions are now visible during the recruiting process, helping candidates understand the role better.
- Career Page Wages: The Career Page now shows the correct currency symbol based on the job posting, so candidates know exactly what to expect.
Supporting Learning & Development
- Learning History: Learning Profiles are now available on the Learning dashboard, not just when the Performance module is activated.
- Career Profiles: We’ve updated Career Profiles to include information from job applications, giving a fuller picture of an employee’s background.
Managing Time Off
- Staff Leave Profiles: Managers now have a better view of their team’s time off history with a new Profiles option in the Time Off section.
- Time Off Requests: We’ve made it easier to see if an employee is requesting more time off than they have available, with clear warnings and prevention based on policy settings.
Processing Payroll
- Employee Pay Reporting: It’s now easier to report on an employee’s pay and time entries with new access points in the Pay Profile.
- Period Processing: We’ve added reports to Period Processing for more comprehensive insights.
- RRSP & TFSA Remitting: A new report makes remitting RRSPs and TFSAs simpler.
- Import Pay Entry Batch: You can now use the Import Pay Entry Batch feature on year-to-date pay runs, making uploads more efficient.
- WSIB Reporting: For WSIB reporting, use the Tax Register found in monthly tax audit runs.
