Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading provider of human
capital management (HCM) solutions in the cloud, announced today
the launch of its Slack app for UltiPro, creating the most robust
functionality in the industry for the integration of workplace
conversations and HR transactions. Without ever leaving the Slack
platform, UltiPro users can use UltiPro’s Slack app to quickly
enter commands within their Slack conversations to view and submit
HR actions, such as viewing paychecks and pay details, searching
the company directory, viewing employee contact information, and
looking at items in their inbox—along with options to approve or
deny requests.
Slack is a collaboration hub that brings employees together with
the information and tools they need to elevate organizational
performance. Because the employee experience drives the strategy
behind Ultimate’s “People First” solutions, the UltiPro Slack app
is designed to allow users to seamlessly interact with UltiPro
without needing to enter a passcode or interrupt their work.
“For Ultimate customers who use Slack, this app is a game
changer, enabling teams to get their work done as effortlessly and
intelligently as possible, with the most extensive feature set in
the industry,” said Adam Rogers, chief technology officer at
Ultimate. “For example, a manager can interact with an employee on
Slack about a project, and then immediately enter performance
feedback without having to leave the conversation. A similar
process can be followed by a manager and employee discussing time
off, with the ability to request and approve PTO. We are committed
to putting people first with solutions focused on employee needs,
and the Slack app for UltiPro is our newest innovation to elevate
the experience at work.”
Key features of the Slack app for UltiPro include empowering
employees to view time-off balances, enter employee notes, and
provide feedback to direct reports, with the option to include it
in performance reviews—all directly from the Slack interface. For
added privacy, UltiPro commands entered into Slack are only visible
to the user completing the task.
“The HR technologies that deliver the most business value are
those that can fuel stronger performance and productivity,” said
analyst Kyle Lagunas, Research Manager, Emerging Trends &
Technologies, IDC. “HCM vendors have an opportunity to improve the
employee experience by meeting people where they work and fostering
added convenience. With people-centric tools that inherently value
employees’ time and make information more accessible, employees can
perform their jobs with higher engagement and greater speed.”
