New Add-on for Employee Self-Service Check-in
There’s a new add-on for Ivanti Service Manager that provides self-check capabilities for employees working from the office, home or other remote locations. Employees can use it to check-in daily with their manager and if it’s ok for them to come into the office. If employees want to come into the office, they can complete a health questionnaire before being approved to come in that day. If working remotely, employees can describe their working conditions, projects they’re working on and if they need any help. If they need IT help, they can submit a ticket from the add-on.
Learn more about the new Employee Self-Service Check-in add-on and download it from the Ivanti Marketplace.
