How to add employees and organize your teams
Inviting employees to teamgeist.io is easy: After you’ve entered their name and company email, they’ll receive a message and are ready to sign in. Click on the “Edit” button next to their name to set any contract specifics different from the default values for your company. Grant HR or Admin rights to particular colleagues so they’ll be able to help you with things like this. Organize your employees in teams, such as Marketing, Sales or Product Development to enable team specific statistics and notifications. The next video shows how to check statistics and capacity overviews.
How to check statistics and capacity
This video demonstrates the kind of data visualizations and capacity views you can expect from teamgeist.io. For instance, you can see all planned absences in your company in a monthly calendar view. Check which type of absence is most common in a specific team or see its capacity for next week. You can even download a yearly report. All of this helps you optimize your resources and plan ahead accordingly.
