Journals

Overview

With BQE CORE HR, you can maintain employee journals to keep track of all employee-related information (for example, degrees, achievements, warnings, dress code, etc.) and activities (for example, awards, warnings, etc.).

BQE CORE allows you to create a list of employee journal types and journal status. These lists are then used to create and track employee journals. The Journals feature of CORE HR is like an employee diary in which HR managers can record information about any employee-related activities and credentials. Journal entries are intended to assist the supervisors to monitor the behavior of employees at reasonable intervals and keep track of their achievements. In addition, to keep track of their achievements in their respective fields of expertise, this feature is particularly useful when professional accreditations need to be verified and kept on record.
