Here’s what we’ve been working on…
Revamp of Engage (Previously Known as Feeds) in Mobile App

Polls in Mobile App

Push Notifications in Mobile App
Employees can effortlessly get push notifications on their mobile app for everything related to regularization requests.

We intend to expand this feature with more events soon.
POI Re-release Request Workflow
In the current POI cycle, any changes to the submitted POI require employees to manually approach admins for a re-release request, making it a cumbersome process. These settings allow employees to easily request for POI re-release from ESS, swiftly approved by admins for a hassle-free POI re-submission process.
