Questions

Communication, answered.

What is the Conversation Hub?
A secure, fully auditable channel for two-way messaging between employees and management, integrated within timeware® HRMS and aligned with GDPR, so the context behind a change is never lost.
What is the Social Feed for?
The Social Feed is your internal communications hub for company updates, recognition, event promotion and polls, reaching hybrid and remote teams as well as those on site.
How does the Marketplace work?
Managers advertise open shifts and overtime; the Marketplace intelligently matches them to qualified, available employees and delivers the opportunity to the ESS app.
Are conversations kept for compliance?
Yes. Communication is timestamped, attributed and retained with GDPR-aligned controls, giving you a full, exportable audit trail.
