This past month, we've been hard at work enhancing your TeamOhana experience and we're excited to share our latest new features.

Say hello to employee terminations in Scenarios, redesigned Budgets & Forecast tiles, and a fresh login experience. These enhancements will help you continue to revolutionize headcount planning and management at your organization, allowing you to plan for terminations, navigate budgets effortlessly, and enjoy a seamless and secure login process.

Check out more below!


New features

Employee terminations in Scenarios

Now that the Modify plan template has an "Employees" tab, users (with the appropriate permissions) can initiate future terminations as part of their Scenarios.

When an employee termination is initiated in the Scenario, the impact of the termination on the budget will be immediately calculated and visible on the Total forecast tab. That impact can of course by offset by adding new draft headcount to the Scenario - but this way, your department leaders can see in real time how the ebb and flow of organizational changes will influence the plan that they build for the current or upcoming year.

As with all of the other Scenario features, initiating a termination here will not affect the data in the rest of the TeamOhana platform until the Scenario is approved and merged. Additionally, the initiated termination will only be visible to the owner and collaborators of the Scenario, and no one else.

Redesigned Budgets & Forecast tiles

The tiles across the top of the Budgets & Forecast page have been redesigned to provide more information to Finance and budget owners.

In addition to the existing data points of new hire budget, forecast, variance and committed spend, you can now see additional metrics.

  • The Forecast tile shows the number of forecasted heads on the hiring plan, how many of those heads are unplanned, and how many headcount over/under budget the plan is

  • The Variance tile includes how much of the variance is from compensation changes, as well as how much is from date changes

  • Committed spend now shows actual variance; in other words, what is the difference between the budget and actuals for hired headcount

The redesigned Budgets & Forecast page also includes support for TeamOhana's budget envelope feature. When a budget envelope is applied, it will be indicated in the "Budget" field above the Variance tile.

Additionally, the Budget tile will update to show the new hire budget from the envelope, as well as how much of that budget is being used by the hiring plan. If a new hire cap has been set in the budget envelope, that will be displayed on the Budget tile as well.

New login experience

Mark your calendar: starting March 25th, logging into TeamOhana will get a whole lot easier. Rather than input a username and password, or clicking "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Microsoft," all you'll need to do to log in is enter your email address.

If it's your first time logging into TeamOhana, you'll have to authenticate your identity with multi-factor authentication. If you're a returning user, just enter your email address and click "Continue" to gain access to your account.

If you have any questions about this streamlined login process, check out the help center article here.


Other enhancements

  • Approvers only see pending headcount requests in their Approvals widget when its their turn to approve

  • "Approved hires" have been renamed to "TBH"

  • Manually created offers now support hourly (and yearly) pay frequencies
