✨ New add & edit person experience now live for all customers
The redesigned add person forms are now available to every MyHR customer. The updated experience is cleaner and easier to use, with better handling for common friction points, including checking against inactive email addresses, smoother department creation, and a fix for selecting yourself as the manager in the new forms.
And you’re now more in control of your employee data as you can update employee details when you need to via ‘Edit details’, with MyHR experts a few clicks away if you need any accompanying HR documentation.
What this means for you
- A simpler, more guided experience when adding a new employee
- Fewer errors at the point of adding a person
- The same improvements apply when editing an existing employee's details
What you need to do
No action needed, the new experience is already live in your account. If you run into anything unexpected, let us know via the Ask Us chat.
