[How this will affect your organization:]
Manager-Controlled Privacy Settings for Frontline workers
Frontline managers now have the power to manage shift information visibility for their employees through the newly available privacy controls in Shifts settings. Here’s what this feature includes:
- Team Shifts View: Managers can enable or disable the Team Shifts View, giving frontline workers the ability (or not) to see their co-workers’ shifts.
- Limited Past Views: Managers can restrict how far back frontline workers can view their co-workers’ schedules, ensuring historical data privacy.
- Generic Time Off View: Frontline workers can see their co-workers’ time off in a generic way, without viewing the specific reasons and notes.
- Limited Shift Details: Managers can limit the level of detail frontline workers can access about their co-workers’ schedules, excluding sensitive information like Shift notes and break durations.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
There is nothing you need to do to prepare for these changes, besides you may want to notify your frontline managers about these updates.
