The dashboard includes a number of items that help you to manage your workforce.   As example of the dashboard is shown below.

The following options will be enabled after the release:

  • Birthdays coming up in the next 14 days
  • People who have left in the last 7 days
  • People who are due to leave in the next 30 days
  • People who will start work in the next 30 days
  • People whose probation period will end in the next 30 days
  • People whose work permit will expire in the next 60 days

These will be enabled for Administrators only be default.

There are two additional items that can be enabled:

  • An average Bradford factor comparison to a company target

Changes are made using the Alerts Configuration section of the Administration page (for users with the appropriate permissions).  You will see the following alerts

Edit the desired option to choose whether the option is enabled, who it applies to, and the setting for the number of days.  For example, in the image below, the holiday message is set to show employees who are going on holiday in the next 14 days and it will be available to both Managers and Administrators.
