Employee Mobile - Application Feeds

Stay connected with your care team through the new Feeds section in the Employee Mobile Application. This powerful feature provides instant visibility about important updates, ensuring your employees never miss critical information.

The Feeds section displays real-time updates for:

  • Holiday request approvals and rejections

  • New Payslip availability

  • New Rota availability

  • Duty offer notifications, approvals and rejections

  • Duty request approvals and rejections

Each feed includes a clear icon indicating the type of feed, making it easy for employees to quickly identify and prioritise updates. The intuitive interface allows employees to view all their feeds in one convenient location, with direct links to relevant sections of the app for immediate action.

Employee Mobile - Feed Notification Badge

Never miss an important update with the new notification badge on the Feeds icon. When new feeds are available, a numbered indicator appears on the feeds toolbar icon, showing exactly how many unread feeds are waiting.

The badge automatically clears once the employee visits the Feeds section, providing a clean and uncluttered experience.
