I want to create a new task for my managerial level employee together

[GEETHU K BABY]

Checking for streamline task management between the Managing Director (MD) and the managerial level teams, you can create new updates in the greytHR software solution that enhances communication, task tracking, and reporting. Below are key features and functionality you should look for in the software.

Key Features for Task Management Software

1. Task Assignment:

   • MD can easily assign tasks to the 25 managers across different departments.
   • Tasks can be organized by priority, category, and department to ensure clarity.

2. Task Tracking & Progress Updates:

   • Managers should be able to update the status of each task, such as “Not Started,” “In Progress,” “Completed,” and “On Hold.”
   • Allow managers to add comments and attachments (e.g., reports, documents, etc.) for each task.

3. Due Date & Overdue Reminders:

   • Clearly define due dates for each task.
   • Send automatic reminders and notifications when the task is approaching its due date or when it is overdue.

4. Dashboard for MD and Managers:

   • The MD should have an overview dashboard that shows the status of tasks across all managers and departments.
   • The dashboard should display critical metrics such as tasks completed, tasks overdue, and the overall performance of the teams.
   • Managers should have a personal dashboard to view and manage their assigned tasks.

5. Smartphone Compatibility:

   • The software should be fully optimized for smartphones, providing a seamless experience on both iOS and Android devices.
   • Mobile app notifications should alert managers about task updates, deadlines, and reminders.

6. Team Collaboration:

   • A built-in messaging feature or the ability to attach comments to tasks to facilitate quick communication between the MD and managers.

7. Reporting and Analytics:

   • Generate progress reports, task completion reports, and other analytics for MD’s review.
   • Customizable reports can help MD assess the team’s productivity and identify bottlenecks.

8. Access Control & Permissions:

   • The software should allow different access levels for the MD and managers (e.g., viewing, editing, or assigning tasks).

9. Task Dependencies:

   • Option for managers to mark tasks that are dependent on the completion of other tasks.

10. Notifications & Alerts:

    • Push notifications for task deadlines, status updates, and important announcements.
    • Additional Considerations

    • • Integration with Other Tools: Ensure that the chosen software can integrate with other tools you are using, such as email, calendar apps, and document management systems.

      • Security: Choose a platform that ensures the security of sensitive company data with encryption, data backups, and user authentication methods.

      • Ease of Use: Prioritize a software with an intuitive user interface, so managers and the MD can easily use the system with minimal training.

      • Customization: Some level of customization (e.g., custom workflows, task templates) may be necessary to tailor the system to your specific business processes.
