##### Timeline


The **Timeline** highlights some important employment-related milestones, such as work anniversaries and other significant events. This provides users with a visual overview of upcoming and recent milestones.

##### Carousel banner

The **Carousel banner** can be used for organisation-wide announcements, campaigns, or featured content. Each slide can include a short message, an image, and a direct link to the relevant area of the system, such as a policy, news item, or e-learning course.

##### Kudos widget

The **Kudos** widget helps boost engagement and highlights positive feedback without leaving the dashboard. It encourages peer recognition by showing recent kudos activity and providing a one-click option to send kudos to colleagues.

##### My Colleagues widget

The **My Colleagues** widget is a compact panel showcasing team members or reporting lines. It provides quick access to the organisational structure and offers additional people-related information and insights.

##### My Performance Status widget

The **My Performance Status** widget provides a summary of performance-related information, current agreement status, upcoming review dates, or pending performance actions.

##### Our Company Values widget

The **Our Company Values** widget is designed to encourage reflection and consistent behaviour across the organisation. It strengthens organisational culture by displaying the current value or behavioural focus, a brief explanation, and a link to the full values library or suggested behaviours.

##### HR Processes widget

The **HR Processes** widget displays outstanding requests, forms, approvals, and other HR-related activities that require attention. Users can track progress and complete tasks directly from the dashboard, helping them stay on top of their responsibilities.

##### Custom dashboard widgets


**Custom Dashboard Widgets** can be configured to display targeted announcements, important information, or direct links to specific areas of the system. Examples include links to e-learning courses, frequently used forms, and other commonly accessed resources. In the image below, the widget provides links to two e-learning courses for users to complete.
