We have a few key features prepared for you that you'll definitely want to have! PeopleForce is one step closer to becoming a full-fledged hub for your work, where all needs are considered. Today, we're talking about building communication via recurring 1:1s, new Google workspace synchronization, Microsoft Outlook integration, and other important items.

One of the most important missions of the HR function in 2024 is to build transparent relationships within the team, especially between managers and subordinates. We must think about employee retention and the tools for it. One of them will definitely be our new recurring 1:1 feature.

In this release, we are getting rid of manual 1:1 meeting setups. Now, team members will be able to schedule recurring 1:1s and organize them into Relationship frequencies, where the meetings' history and upcoming ones will be stored.

The new Relationship tab allows clients to access 1:1 meetings organized by participants and organizers. Each employee's meetings are neatly grouped into separate threads, with only one unique thread per participant. To differentiate 1:1 meetings, there's the option to assign a type to each one.

Here is what is available with recurring 1:1s:

For more details on recurring 1:1 meetings, please read the separate article.

You can still create one-time 1:1 meetings, but we encourage you to focus on building longer-term and transparent relationships with employees. This strategic shift reflects the 2024 trend outlined in Deloitte's annual HR trends report, where 90% of leaders emphasize the crucial importance of trust-building. We're committed to keeping you on trend!

This possibility marks an important step towards making PeopleForce the ultimate centralized destination for our customers. We streamline syncing employee data between PeopleForce and Google Workspace for seamless integration.

If you need to upload a new employee's data to Google Workspace as well when adding them to the system, you can easily accomplish this using this sync. When terminating an employee, you can automatically delete their user account in Google Workspace, eliminating the need to switch between systems.

Once the integration is enabled, you have the freedom to choose which data items to synchronize, such as full names, photos, managers, employee IDs, positions, and more. Companies using this integration can select fields to sync, ensuring only relevant information is shared across platforms.

You can also use the Workflows feature to automatically add or remove users from your Workspace and even incorporate existing directory employees into your Workspace directory via the 3dot menu in the employee’s profile. Companies with integration enabled can use "Create a Google Workspace user" or “Delete the employee" as an action type. Learn more about this feature in the article here.

We've introduced an integration for users who utilize Microsoft Outlook calendars to streamline the scheduling of interviews and one-on-one meetings. Similar to our integration with Google Calendar, this feature allows you to seamlessly sync your entire company's schedule and easily select available time slots when everyone is free.

Good news, it’s finally here: the information regarding bonuses and other supplementary compensations is now included in the report. In fact, we've integrated this data into two reports: the Salary history report has evolved into the Compensation history report, featuring separate tabs for both Salaries and Additional compensation; additionally, the Monthly payroll report now also includes details on additional compensation in a dedicated tab.

We hope that all these nuanced changes will provide you with more flexibility in customization. And remember, PeopleForce is on its way to becoming your sole hub for all functions, so we are constantly working on innovative practices.
