ExtensisHR Announces Next Evolution of Work Anywhere® Mobile Application

ExtensisHR Announces Evolution of Work Anywhere® Mobile Application

ExtensisHR, a nationally recognized Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and HR Outsourcing (HRO) services provider, announces the latest release of its Work Anywhere® mobile application, introducing powerful new features designed to enhance the employee experience and simplify human resources management in the digital age.

This version of the Work Anywhere® app brings together advanced tools and seamless integration capabilities to provide users with a more convenient way to manage HR. With a focus on empowering individuals to take control of their work-life balance, health benefits, and financial security, the app aims to foster a culture of productivity, engagement, and well-being within organizations.

Highlighted features include:

Paid Time-Off (PTO) Forecasting: An innovative forecasting tool allows employees to plan their time-off by projecting and tracking available PTO based on accrued, used, and remaining balances.

Single Sign-On for HealthEquity and Aetna Members: Work Anywhere® now integrates with HealthEquity and Aetna, eliminating the need for multiple logins. Employees can easily access their health benefits, view coverage details, and manage their accounts within the app.

Coverage-at-a-Glance: Users can get a quick overview of their life, long-term disability, and short-term disability coverage amounts in a single glance, ensuring employees are informed about their insurance coverage and prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

Retirement Contribution Tracking: This feature enables users to review their year-to-date contributions and employer match, helping them to make informed decisions about their financial well-being and track progress toward a secure retirement.

“We are extremely excited to introduce this iteration of the Work Anywhere® app, which brings a diverse range of features designed to elevate the employee experience,” says Joe Catapano, ExtensisHR’s Chief Information Officer. “As businesses continue to adapt to the evolving work landscape, we remain committed to providing cutting-edge solutions that empower both organizations and their employees. We believe this update will not only contribute to increased productivity and engagement, but also foster greater employee satisfaction and overall business success.”

This is the second update in the past seven months. It builds upon previous additions such as multiple language options, the ability to see per-pay-period contributions, and improved manager and administrator functionality that provides access to high-level team member details such as date of hire, birthdate, resident address, and more.

ExtensisHR's Work Anywhere® app is available for download on both iOS and Android in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Google Cloud and Unilever partner to digitally connect factory-based colleagues with the new My Unilever app

PR Newswire | October 16, 2023

Google Cloud and Unilever have partnered to launch a new app for employees, My Unilever. The app has been designed to digitally connect Unilever's factory-based colleagues across the globe, enabling them to tap into Unilever's digital resources from any location or device. Built on Google Cloud, and delivered in partnership with Accenture, the My Unilever app unlocks the opportunity for Unilever's 53,000+ factory-based colleagues to have easy and secure access to key Unilever systems. It also enables one-click entry to Google Workspace, which includes the communication and collaboration apps such as Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Chat, Meet, and more, relied on by more than three billion users and over 10 million customers. The app also utilises Appsheet, Google's no-code platform, as the main end-user interface for the My Unilever application. The My Unilever app will also give users access to a variety of third-party tools including learning and payroll, some of which were previously only accessible through paper-based methods or via time-consuming in-factory processes. In streamlining these previous methods, My Unilever helps to save time and increase productivity - benefits that will continue to grow as the application expands into more use-cases. Adam Raeburn-James, Chief Technology Officer at Unilever comments: "Digital transformation, at its heart, is about people. In launching the My Unilever app, we're helping our factory-based colleagues to become digitally connected. By giving all of our people access to key HR, support and learning systems, we can continue to work towards our goal of ensuring that everyone at Unilever can develop the future-fit skills they need for the evolving workplace by 2025. Our partnership with Google Cloud allows us to continue taking our use of technology to the next level. Alongside this, we're drawing on Accenture's global expertise in deployment, change and adoption, to ensure the best possible transition and experience for our colleagues. We've already received great feedback across our recent pilot programme. "This partnership will help support Unilever in building this capability for the future, and we are excited to be part of this journey," said Laurence Lafont, Vice President, Strategic Industries EMEA, Google Cloud. "With Google Cloud's technology, Unilever's factory-based colleagues are now able to connect in a new way, supporting them to develop and thrive. The My Unilever app brings the business closer together as one team, empowering them to achieve more." The My Unilever app will be available to download on personal and corporate devices (iOS and Android), or on shared on-site computers, all using Google's built-in security and compliance platform.
