What's the news?

November 8, 2024 – Salesforce introduced Employee Service, an employee service management solution that includes a self-service portal for employees and an HR workspace for managing employee support cases and requests. For self-service support, Employee Service taps into employee data on the Salesforce Platform and uses generative AI to surface relevant content to employee inquiries; tailor responses based on needs and previous actions; and recommend next-best actions. The HR Service Console provides a complete view of employee data; enables management of requests with AI, productivity tools and knowledge base access; and will support integration with HR systems such as ADP and Workday. Employee Portal and HR Service Console are generally available. An Agentforce Employee Service Agent and a template for swarming on employee cases in Slack are among a variety of roadmap items for 2025.
