At PeopleDoc, our goal is to make it simple for HR to do hard things. We know that managing processes and workflows can be overly technical and time consuming for HR, and ultimately it takes away from time helping employees.

The mission of PeopleDoc’s Process Automation software is to provide HR with a one-stop-shop to build, automate and monitor HR processes and employee lifecycle events such as tuition reimbursement, maternity leave requests, internal transfers, and onboarding.

Some features we release are part of the greater vision we’ve outlined and planned for each module. Other times, we see how our customers use the product and we realize there’s an opportunity we didn’t expect to see. In this post, we’ll explore missing fields in Advanced Document Generation, a feature we knew we wanted to build from the start. Then we’ll discuss the evolution of the custom status in Case Management, and the updates we’ve made based on how we’ve seen users engaging with the custom status feature.

As you may recall, we announced our new Formbuilder back in the March release. We rebuilt the Formbuilder so that we could add more complex capabilities, such as dynamic fields and logic. With the August release, you can now duplicate a form in Case Management and Process Automation! You can now copy forms and then edit the copy as needed.

The May release provides a number of new features and functionality that improve the HR user experience. Our Case Management solution now manages concurrence between users, meaning it will be easier for users to collaborate on the same case. In the Knowledge Portal, you’ll have the ability to add an expiration date to articles to ensure you don’t maintain outdated information.

In Employee File Management, we’ll now order custom fields alphabetically so you can find things faster, provide a null default value for picklists so you get better data, and name your split documents so they’re easier to manage. All of these new features and enhancements will allow you to move faster, ensuring you’re providing that great support to your employees.

At PeopleDoc we understand that our users want to be efficient in their work, so our goal is to create interfaces that are simple, intuitive and empowering.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our platform for our users, we have been developing an internal design system that will guide our design and product teams in all future design decisions.

This system includes:

• A definition of what good design means to us
• A series of defined best practices – from copywriting to code and usability
• Example pages/layouts

Users of our Employee File Management solution will soon have the opportunity to experience the first pages built with our new system, so we felt the time was right to introduce you to some of our goals as well as our approach to designing for our users.
