The announcement tool allows you to broadcast an in-system message to your entire workforce or just a selected department or group of users.
To create an announcement, start by clicking Admin in the oneHR main menu. Then click Announcements in the Admin sub-menu.
Here you will be presented with some fields to create a new announcement.
Add a title, a description and then set a date range for when you want this announcement to be visible to your selected users. Once the end date has been reached, the announcement will stop showing for all relevant users.
Lastly, select the recipients of this announcement using the drop down and checkbox features in the Send To: box. You can select all employees, selected departments or a variety of users across different departments.
Click Add. This will then be added to the list of existing announcements and will appear for users if the selected start date has already passed. Otherwise, it will begin appearing once we reach the selected start date.
Once added, upon login an employee will see the new announcement via the notification in the top right-hand corner of the oneHR homepage. Employees will also receive an email with the details of the Announcement once it has been set live.
