We understand that keeping track of important information about your employees is crucial for effective HR management. One powerful feature at your disposal is the ability to add and manage notes in the employee profile. This feature allows admins to log conversations, details, and important events related to employees. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of using the employee profile notes effectively.
Why use employee profile notes?
You can use the employee profile notes to help you record and manage employee conversations and activities. This feature may be helpful to refer to during performance reviews, salary negotiations, and other critical matters.
Below are a few common reasons to take advantage of the employee profile notes:
Track conversations: Keep a record of conversations that admins and managers have with employees. This is especially useful for documenting discussions about salary negotiations, performance reviews, or any other important matters.
Monitor attendance and tardiness: Log instances of tardiness or attendance-related issues directly in the employee profile. This can serve as a valuable reference when addressing attendance concerns during performance evaluations or disciplinary actions.
Document employee requests: When employees make requests, such as a raise, moving their desk in the office, or even relocating to another office, you can log these interactions in the notes section. This ensures that all communication is documented and easily accessible.
Make sure any notes you enter in the employee profile notes maintain compliance. Adhere to company policies and HR principles by using the notes feature responsibly. Ensure that all notes entered are objective, factual, and align with the company's code of conduct.
