Purpose: The Welcome widget welcomes a new employee to their new HRIS system. This help guide will teach you what the Welcome widget is and how it helps new employees.

The Welcome widget welcomes a new employee to their new HRIS system. It will display for new accounts and those logging in for the first few times to become familiar with some of the great features within BambooHR.

The Welcome widget displays the first five times a new user logs into their account unless dismissed. A new employee can dismiss the Welcome widget by clicking on the "X" in the top right corner.

Up to six tiles will display depending on your access. If there is no corresponding access and tiles do not display, it will only show a simple welcome message.  

Possible tiles include (in this order):

• Request Time Off (if you have access to request time off)
• Company Directory (if you have access to view the Company Directory)
• Goals (if enabled for your company and you are part of the filter)
• Mobile Apps (always displays if at least one other tile can display)
• Benefits (if enrolled in any benefit plans)
• Job Openings (if you have access to manage job openings)
• Your Employees’ Information (if you have direct reports)
• Approving Employee Requests (if you have direct reports)
• Reporting (if you have access to create reports)
• Training (if you have any items in your upcoming training table)
• Onboarding/Offboarding (if you have access to the Onboarding/Offboarding tab for employees)
• Pay Info (if you have the Pay Info tab)

The new employee can click on each section to go to an in-app guide that walks them through how the specific feature works within BambooHR.
