New features planned for public preview in Jan 2021
With the overall announcement of Release 2021 Wave 1 on 27 January, based on the latest roadmap planning there are no features planned for public preview in Jan 2021.
But do watch out for next month’s update for some exciting features😎
Features moved from public preview to general availability in Dec 2020/Jan 2021
🔗Provide additional insight into leave balances
With the goal of reducing the queries by the employees and managers to the HR teams, the leave balances form on Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service is enhanced to include all the necessary details:
Employee self service overview: Employee Self Service Workspace > View all balances
The same overview is available to the managers on employee time off details on My team tab:
🔗Integration with LinkedIn Talent Hub
The feature details of what is enhanced as part of this is explained below:
“When a candidate has accepted an offer in LinkedIn Talent Hub, an action is available to send the candidate record into the Human Resources system. This eliminates the need to manually enter the new employee record in Human Resources, removing silos from the related business functions. Once the candidate record is in Human Resources, a workflow is enabled to review the new record, add any additional needed information, and approve the new hire before the final employee record is created and linked to the position”
