New: Private Notes and a Kin Referral Program

One really common request from our customers has been the ability to keep private notes on an employee. Well, we’re excited to announce Kin’s new Notes feature!

We also know many of you are spreading the word about Kin, which we’re super thankful for. To make it easier for you to suggest Kin to others, we’ve released a new referral program, where you’ll actually pay your friends to start using Kin. Read on to learn more!

New Feature: Private Notes

Need to keep a note on an employee that’s only for management’s eyes? Well, now you can. Both HR Managers (HRMs) and Managers can now keep private notes on employees. Creating them is easy: under an employee’s account there’s a new Notes section where private notes can be created, shared, and categorized.

HRMs have a bit more functionality with the new private notes feature than Managers. First, they can create and view notes for any employee, and choose not to share a note with an employee’s Manager. Whereas, Managers are only able to create and view shared notes for their direct reports, and those notes are always accessible to any HRM.

Questions or feedback on the new private notes feature? Hit us up at theteam@10.20.21.87.

Give a friend or former coworker $25!

We recently asked you all if you’d recommend Kin to people you know (friends, former coworkers, etc.) and we received a huge “HECK YES”. So we’ve made it easy to spread the word via our referral program. We’re giving a $25 credit to any new customer you refer, and it couldn’t be simpler to get them going.

How do you get started? Click the drop down menu in the top right of Kin and select ‘Refer Kin’ to get the ball rolling! You can refer as many people as you’d like, and Kin will automatically email them their link to create a new account and to redeem their $25 credit.

If you have any questions on either of these new updates, please send us a note at theteam@10.20.21.87.
