[cs_content][cs_element_section _id=”1″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”2″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”3″ ][cs_element_text _id=”4″ ][cs_content_seo]As we head into the summer months, we\u2019ve got a round-up of recent exciting product updates to share and some tips to help you enhance your performance management process.
\n1:1 Meetings<\/p>\n

Instead of writing your to-dos notes on a post-it, create Action Items right in your meeting. HR Admins can enable Action Items on the meeting settings page.
\nYou can share 1:1 meetings with anyone in your company and we’ve made it easier to find shared meetings.
\nAs an HR admin, you can implement global visibility for content from the 1:1 Meetings page.
\nAnalyze how often empty 1:1 meetings are occurring or exclude them from your results completely
\nScheduling meetings is more accessible now that you can select a date and time on the creation screen.
\nMeeting\u00a0Slack notifications got an update. Employees are now notified 24 hours before an upcoming meeting.<\/p>\n

Customization and User Management<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve created a new role called \u201cSecondary Manager which allows you to grant a coach or second manager access to 360 feedback and objectives.
\nTailor Small Improvements to your organization\u2019s culture and needs with Custom Wording.
\nRestricting fields on user profiles to give greater data consistency.
\nAny user can sign in with Google to log in to their Small Improvements account from our login page.
\nExpanded security control to require all users to use 2FA from the security settings panel.
\nExport data for a specific employee on the profile page without having to export individual cycles.<\/p>\n

360 Feedback and Reviews<\/p>\n

In 360s we made it easier to gain feedback faster: employees can nominate without manager approval.
\nManagers can now manually release 360 feedback before the cycle deadline.
\nYou can make all Review question types into confidential questions
\nAutomatically send the launch emails for your Review cycle launch
\nCalibration is now available, allowing you to set specific periods for managers to edit and share content or ratings.
\nCustomize emails for 360s and Reviews on a per cycle basis.<\/p>\n

Pulse Surveys<\/p>\n

You can share Pulse results with any user regardless of admin permissions
\nHR Assistants can launch new Pulse Surveys and view results for surveys that they have created.
\nEdit and update existing Pulse surveys before they go out to employees.
\nGet answers when you need them by setting a deadline for monthly Pulse Surveys.<\/p>\n

Coming soon<\/p>\n

We’re expanding People Analytics in our tool, if you’re a current customer using Retention analytics please reach out to us for early access to expanded reporting.
\nWe’re continuing to help admins save time with automated emails and workflows, if you have an automation idea don’t hesitate to share it with our team.
