1.1 What’s New?

PeopleSoft now allows a subset of Interactive Insights to be displayed directly on the Remote Worker approval request page. Traditionally, insights were available only through dashboards or standalone analytics pages. With this enhancement, actionable insights are embedded right into the transactional flow – enabling faster and more informed approvals.

  • Consistent and Fair Approvals: Embedded insights provide standardized data points for all approvers, helping ensure consistent decision-making across teams, departments, and locations.
  • Stronger Governance and Policy Adherence: Visibility into remote work eligibility, department norms, and historical usage supports better enforcement of organizational policies and reduces the risk of exceptions or misuse.
  • Improved Manager Productivity: By eliminating the need to switch between dashboards and transactions, managers spend less time gathering information and more time focusing on strategic priorities.
  • Reduced Administrative Overhead: Fewer follow-up questions and clarifications are needed, minimizing back-and-forth between managers, HR, and employees.
  • Enhanced Workforce Planning and Transparency: Insights into team-level and organizational remote work distribution help leaders better manage capacity, collaboration, and workforce balance across locations and time zones.
  • Scalable Support for Hybrid Work Models: The feature is especially valuable for large and distributed organizations, enabling consistent oversight and decision-making as remote and hybrid work models continue to scale.
