• First of its kind for many Southeast Asia and South Asia markets to be integrated with virtual voice-enabled assistants
• Voice-activated features for work check-in, check-out, and check leave balance 
• Management of key HR needs, and team leaders can approve requests and propel a compelling employee experience via mobile

Global HR technology provider MiHCM has announced the arrival of the latest version of its MiHCM mobile. 

The new app, which is available over Android and iOS devices, will allow employees to carry out a range of HR-related activities using voice-enabled assistants. 

The app is the first of its kind for many Southeast Asia and South Asia markets to be integrated with virtual assistants; Siri and Google Assistant. Built-in facial recognition with geofencing and geo tagging capabilities will also allow employees to check-in and check-out through a contactless attendance system to support hybrid workforces and COVID-19 prevention measures.  

“We are delighted to unveil our all-new MiHCM mobile app integrating to Apple Siri and Google Assistant. We have rebuilt the new app from scratch to allow us to scale across a large diverse user base whilst being able to onboard new employee experiences faster than ever. Today, offering the best employee experience is of paramount importance to attract best talent. We intend to keep evolving the voice-enabled features to deliver the most compelling employee experiences for the future-ready workplace,” MiHCM Chief Executive Officer Harsha Purasinghe said.

MiHCM mobile provides secure mobile access to a range of HR self-service functionalities. Employees can use the app to submit leave requests for approval; submit and view timesheets, company notices, and payslips; and request letters, travel documents, and escalate workplace issues. More importantly, any HR service request, expense claims and reimbursement submissions can now be submitted for approval through the mobile app by clicking an image of the receipt and submitting it through the app.

A leave-balance calendar widget can also be added to a user’s device home screen to allow employees check their remaining leave. Employees will be able to submit time change requests while team leaders will be able to view team attendance, leave, and inspect more details of each team member through the app’s Team Directory.

MiHCM Chief Product Officer Suren Rupasinghe said: “The number of smartphone users is expected to grow, and the same trend is observed in the workplace environment too. The possibilities of using speech recognition and related technology are truly endless.  We are excited to leverage this technology and bring a phenomenal change to MiHCM’s mobile experience. By integrating our mobile app with Siri and Google Assistant, we hope to increase the capabilities of HR teams and employees around the world.”
