HERA's Townhall

Endorsement notifications & equipment returns

• NewOnboarding and exit records now email the employee and manager automatically when created, asking them to review and sign off.
• NewA completion email is sent to both parties and HR once both endorsements are in.
• NewExit equipment can be marked returned, with an at-a-glance “X of Y returned” summary on each record.
• ImprovedHR can resend a sign-off request at any time from a record.

Exit & Handover

• NewNew Exit & Handover module — an offboarding checklist, equipment to return, and handover sign-off by the departing employee and their manager.

Onboarding

• NewAdmin checklist builder to configure the reusable onboarding checklist.

Policy update alerts

• NewRecently updated policies show an “Updated” badge in the policy list for two weeks.

Automated leave reminders

• NewStaff who haven’t submitted their leave plan receive an automatic weekly reminder while the planning window is open.
