Employee Updates

Preview of Coming Attractions

Our Employee Engagement OnBase tool will have a new look and feel starting August 21st.

Please note the release date has changed from the original date of August 7th.

Have no fear; the new tool is still easy to access and easier to use.

What’s changing? You asked and we listened…the new features will include:

  • Dash board of latest entries on the employee home page
  • Conversation threads between employee and manager within same entry
  • Time and date stamp for all entries
  • Employee or manager identification on entries
  • Title/name new entries and attachments for good record keeping
  • Attachments for all types of documents; e.g. Word, Excel, PDF, JPG
  • WYSIWYG features – colored fonts, bullets, bold, underline, italicize, highlights, etc.

There are three ways to learn about the new Employee Engagement OnBase upgrade.
