What are Workflows?

Workflows are approval chains you can create to oversee and approve any requests to change employee information in Namely. Our new workflow editor offers a number of enhancements:

• Assign approvers by job title, org unit, organizational structure, and more, so if an approver transfers to another position or leaves the company, your workflow won’t go out of date. 

• Create separate approval chains for different locations, departments, or divisions, so an employee on your Sales team isn’t requesting a salary approval from a manager in Customer Service.

• Edit workflow templates that are already in use without affecting any in-progress workflow requests.

• Better notifications to let employees know when their request has been approved.

To use these new features, you must rebuild your existing workflows in the new workflow editor.
