Daily operations require planning, coordination, and keeping multiple processes on track. This month’s updates are designed to make shift scheduling more flexible, strengthen time tracking security, personalize onboarding, and introduce new ways to manage knowledge across Humand.
Shift Management: Plan shifts more efficiently
Managing schedules also means adapting quickly to day-to-day changes. These updates make it easier to view your schedule and reorganize shifts whenever plans change.
What’s new?
- Plan with a monthly view: See the entire schedule without switching screens.
- Reorganize shifts with drag and drop: Move shifts and days off with a simple drag-and-drop action.
Kiosk: Strengthen every clock-in with facial liveness detection
Ensuring every clock-in belongs to the right person is essential for maintaining accurate attendance records and preventing fraud.
Facial recognition now includes liveness detection before an employee’s clock-in is recorded.
What does this improvement provide?
- Verify employee identity before recording a clock-in.
- Detect spoofing attempts using photos or images displayed on other devices.
- Prevent invalid attendance records, since clock-ins are only created after successful verification.
This gives organizations a more secure and reliable attendance process without requiring manual reviews afterward.
Onboarding: Preboarding and personalized new hire experiences
Every new hire requires different information, timelines, and communications. These updates make it easier to tailor onboarding content, preview the employee experience before publishing, and gather feedback to continuously improve the process.
Preboarding space
Prepare new hires before their first day with a dedicated space where they can complete onboarding tasks ahead of their start date.
What’s included?
- Early access so new hires can complete onboarding tasks before their official start date.
- Required tasks that must be completed before full platform access is granted.
- Progress tracking with a unified task list, progress bar, and countdown to day one.
Create personalized tasks for every employee
Effective onboarding also means delivering content that’s relevant to each employee and ensuring everything looks right before it’s published. These updates let you do both from a single place.
What can you do?
- Automatically insert employee information into task descriptions.
- Personalize communications using details such as the employee’s name, manager, hire date, and other profile fields.
- Preview tasks and questionnaires exactly as employees will see them on both web and mobile.
- Review content before publishing to verify formatting and information.
Measure the onboarding experience
You can now measure employee satisfaction throughout the onboarding journey by adding experience surveys.
What does this update allow you to do?
- Schedule surveys at different milestones, such as 7, 30, 60, or 90 days.
- Collect feedback from new hires throughout the onboarding process.
- Centralize survey results directly within the People Experience module.
This gives you actionable insights at every stage of onboarding, helping you identify opportunities for improvement and continuously enhance the new hire experience.
Knowledge libraries: A more intuitive experience
Organizations create knowledge every day, and keeping it organized and accessible is just as important. These updates introduce new ways to navigate, edit, and manage your knowledge libraries.
Explore knowledge more easily
Knowledge libraries now feature a redesigned navigation experience that helps both administrators and employees browse content more efficiently. The article tree makes it easier to locate information and discover related content, even in large knowledge bases.
What’s changing?
- Create and organize articles and subarticles through a redesigned interface.
- Reorder content directly from the navigation tree.
- Access related subarticles from cards displayed at the end of each article.
Give editors more independence
Users with editing permissions can now manage more content without relying on administrators, making it easier to keep information up to date.
What can editors do?
- Create draft subarticles.
- Activate or deactivate articles whenever needed.
- Duplicate articles and subarticles to reuse content.
- Reorder subarticles from the side panel.
- Manage notifications to keep the appropriate audience informed about updates.
This helps content teams keep knowledge libraries current with less administrative effort.
More ways to customize your knowledge libraries
Knowledge libraries can now better reflect your organization’s identity while providing additional context about their content.
With these updates, you can:
- Customize the homepage with a cover image and description.
- See who last updated each article and when it was modified.
Personalize your Humand experience
You can now choose how Humand looks across both the web platform and the mobile app.
Available appearance options:
- Light mode for a traditional viewing experience.
- Dark mode to reduce screen brightness and eye strain.
- System mode to automatically match your device’s appearance settings.
Your preference is saved on each device, so you’ll enjoy the same experience every time you log in.
Reinforce your company's brand identity with Themes
Admins can now customize the platform with their organization’s brand colors using Themes, creating a more branded and consistent experience for every employee.
A platform that grows with your organization
From shift scheduling to onboarding and knowledge management, each new feature is designed to improve everyday workflows while giving organizations the flexibility to work the way they need.
Explore these updates and continue building an employee experience that evolves with your teams.
