Foster a successful work outcome with employee experience in mind

Stamp

As businesses use technology when reskilling and upskilling talent, informal training is just as important as formal training when it comes to learning on the job. This highlights the importance of usability in business software, as a better user experience often results in shorter learning curves and reaching desired business outcomes more quickly.

In most organizations, IT teams are responsible for this type of employee user experience. That process can now be simplified with Zoho Catalyst, a serverless, developer-friendly platform for building and scaling customized solutions that personalizes work experience. Additionally, Zoho's vast ecosystem minimizes personalization barriers when businesses connect with their customers.

To help organizations stay ahead of their employees' tech expectations, other Zoho enhancements now allow staff to clock their working hours remotely, or even on-premise with Zoho People's improved facial recognition technology, enabled by Kiosk. For collaboration, you can start retrieving and storing files from external parties into custom Workdrive folders, ensuring a more secured way of depositing documents. More updates below.

PRODUCT UPDATES

What's new

Zoho Workdrive

WorkDrive has released an all-new feature to collect files securely, from both internal and external users. You can now choose a custom folder to collect and store files, set deadlines for submissions, and set upload limits for file size and count. Watch the video here.

Zoho Campaigns

To improve the overall delivery of email campaigns, Zoho Campaigns has updated three of its major features: Topic, Contacts, and List Management. These updates help in sending targeted emails, as assigning topics will be mandatory for creating any email campaigns. Subscribers, on the other hand, can choose the personalized content they'd like to receive via the Manage Preferences settings.

Zoho People

In addition to the already-available facial recognition function for managing remote attendance, Zoho People now has improved facial recognition technology, enabled by Kiosk, to remind employees about clocking their hours. Employees working from your office can mark their attendance on-premises, regardless of whether they have access to Zoho People or not. This also helps avoid unauthorized entrances and identity theft. Learn more.

Zoho Sheet

We've recently merged data cleaning and data quality suggestions inside Zia for Zoho Sheet, bringing all of our AI functionalities into one central place. Refine by Zia helps users eliminate data inconsistencies, duplicate entries, missing values, and more.
