Microsoft Launches Teams HR App To Manage Annual Leave Requests

Microsoft has announced a public preview of the Human Resources app for Teams, which is designed to manage annual leave requests.

The Human Resources app is completely linked with Dynamics 365 Human Resources in the Finance and Operations environments, providing organisations with a streamlined solution for employees to easily request, update and reject time off and leave of absence requests.

The programme is designed for use within Microsoft Teams or via a web browser, and it provides a comprehensive overview of employees' leave requests, leave balances, draft leave requests and previous leave taken. It is available on both mobile and desktop platforms.

“In today’s dynamic work environment, managing employee leave and absence efficiently is crucial for maintaining a productive and harmonious workplace. It is designed and developed for organisations to ensure their employees can request, edit, and cancel time off and leave of absence requests seamlessly. Employees can now view their leave balances, upcoming leaves and leave history using the same application. In addition to this, managers can also efficiently view and approve or reject requests in one intuitive interface,” said Ajit Chandran, Product Manager at Microsoft, in a blog post. 

In addition, the app makes it easier for managers to see, accept or reject requests in a plain interface.

Following the announcement of the infrastructure merger, the Human Resources app will take over as the primary leave and absence management solution from the old Teams app.
