Erick Weitkamp: Hello, everyone.
Today, I want to give you a quick overview of a few features
that are included in the 2020 Release Wave 1.
As part of this release, our current core HR capabilities have
been renamed from Dynamics 365 Talent to Dynamics 365 Human
Resources.
The new name reflects our commitment to helping HR
professionals create data driven programs that improve the
employee experience.
Let's dive into some of the new features that are coming out
with this release.
Sometimes your people can plan their leave ahead of time, but
sometimes they can't.
Providing more flexibility and leave policies allows your HR
department to configure leave and absence to meet employee
requests as well as regional and company requirements.
Along with this flexibility, we're providing support for
additional ways for employees to accrue time off, such as
full-time equivalency that provides your HR with more control
when providing time off benefits to employees.
Let's take a look at how this works in Dynamics 365 Human
Resources.
Starting from the main menu, we select leave rules and
regulations.
Here, you see the rules for leave.
We'll dive into annual leave, where you can see that we're
rounding leave accrual to the nearest half day.
Now in some countries, you need to use the holiday
correction to remove holiday days from an employee's total.
Here, you see the U.K. bank holidays that will
automatically be removed from everyone's leave balance.
At present, most HR departments need to manually remove these
holidays from the employee's selectable leave total.
So, this feature will make leave maintenance much easier and
reduce errors from employees that are requesting time off that
should already be committed to holidays.
Delmar here is part of the U.K., so his leave accrual is
prorated based on his full-time equivalency.
Alphonso is full-time in the U.K.
and you can see that he used to get 28 days per year including
holidays.
But starting in 2020, he's shifted to the new calendar with the
eight holidays automatically removed from his available leave.
So, he now gets 20 days of selectable leave each year.
Amelie has started in midyear, so her leave is prorated.
And you can see here that in 2019, she only got 13.5 days of
leave.
Now, let's take a look at the HR leave calendar to see how
this all shows up company wide.
April is when people typically take time off.
Purple blocks here are approved leaves, while blue are pending
requests.
Let's take a look at what Sabrina, the manager, would see.
We'll start with the employee self-service screen.
Select my team and check April, where we see that both of her
people will be out on the same week.
So, she knows that she'll be without a staff that week and will
need to manage her team's commitments very carefully.
In today's market, you need to offer broader and richer sets
of benefits to attract and retain your employees.
The enhanced benefit plan configuration provides your HR
department with the ability to manage their plans with a wider
range of setup options and offer flexibility, all the while
supporting complex scenarios.
Let's take a look at how the online benefit enrollment works
for one of your employees.
Brooke starts at the Dynamics 365 Human Resources home page.
She navigates to employee self-service page, where items are
displayed by frequency of use.
From the benefits tile, she selects the enrollment period to
see her available benefits presented in the familiar shopping
cart model.
We'll run through these starting with medical.
Here, she selects a family plan with her two dependents who
are imported automatically and adds that to her cart.
In dental and in vision, she has the same options.
In her health savings account, she can select how much to set
aside from each pay period.
And finally, life insurance that is already provided by her
employer.
A quick review and she checks out, which takes us back to the
main employee page.
Dynamics 365 Human Resources reflects our commitment to
helping HR professionals create data driven programs that
improve the employee experience.
Providing more flexibility and leave policies allows your HR
department to meet employee requests and regional or company
requirements and offer broader and richer sets of benefits to
attract and retain your employees.
