FAQ

Manager Onboarding in HR Technology SaaS: Frequently asked questions

Managers generate the most HR tickets — approval process questions, performance review guidance, compensation change requests. Guidez addresses this by guiding managers through their most common workflows on first use, and the AI Guide answers manager questions 24/7 without requiring HR staff response.
Yes. Create performance review season tours that activate when the review cycle opens — walking managers through review form access, goal alignment, rating calibration guidelines, and submission deadlines. Targeted tours ensure every manager participates correctly before the deadline.
Yes. Pass manager_experience (first_time, experienced) or years_in_role via identify() and target different onboarding depths. First-time managers see comprehensive foundational tours; experienced managers who transferred from other companies see a shorter "here's how we do it differently" tour.
Create matrix-specific manager tours that explain dotted-line reporting relationships, approval authority in matrix structures, and how to work with HR Business Partners on shared team members. Custom targeting ensures these tours only appear for managers in matrix organization structures.
Yes. Compensation planning tours walk managers through the annual compensation review cycle — viewing current compensation bands, submitting increase recommendations, and understanding approval workflows — with contextual guidance on compensation philosophy and equity principles.
