We recently released an update to Kin called, perhaps pragmatically, “Task Reminder Email.”
As you may surmise, it’s a weekly email reminding you of the tasks your team members are waiting on you to complete, such as time-off requests and paperwork. The email gets sent every Wednesday, which gives you a couple of days to take care of business before the weekend.
We’ve decided to disable this reminder email by default, but you can enable it at any time via your profile page in Kin.
Why might you need a reminder?
Between a third to one half of all tasks in Kin go a full work week without being completed – that means some coworkers aren’t getting time-off requests approved or, likewise, feedback isn’t being given while it’s top of mind. We know that an email is just one of many you receive each day, but we’ll be keeping an eye on how this helps get more workplace work done in a shorter period of time.
If you have any questions about this new feature, we can be reached at TheTeam@KinHR.com.
Happy tasking!
